Las Vegas, Al Gore, and the North Pole

Nobody Flashes Anymore: NEWS UPDATE: Today, in Las Vegas while millions watched around the world, a spectacular fire engulfed the entire top portion of the very elegant Casino, The Monte Carlo.

Fortunately no one was hurt, and no one knows how the fire started. BUT--this man was seen near the top floor and a quick thinking tourist named Izzy Dikcus from Des Moines, Iowa, got this snapshot right before the explosion.

She also heard the man scream, "I AM THE PRESIDENT!"

What's so very amazing is that another man vacationing in Vegas at the time, Ogmar Smuggles from Nuussuaq, Greenland, saw this picture that Izzy had just taken and swore that the man in this picture looks very much like some guy he sees every year, when he goes up on his seal expeditions to the North Pole.

In fact, Ogmar told Izzy that the man seems to be quite a tourist attraction himself, working day and night blowing fire at the ice caps.

Many people have found him talking to polar bears during his breaks, and found it very funny.

The polar bears obviously stay away from him because, well frankly, they think he's a bit too full of hot air for their liking.

Ogmar talked to the man once and asked him just why he was breathing fire on the ice, and the man told him he had only five years to melt it all away...the North Pole that is.

So far, all the ice he has melted has doubled in size the next year--- so Ogmar and his friends really enjoy their trips to the North Pole every year in hopes of running into him.

Sometimes he comes in on a private jet. Ogmar figures he must be pretty rich, because he has his own landing strip built just for him.

So---if you see this man, near a nuclear reactor, near an oil well, on the beaches of Malibu, at your backyard barbeque, or walking around the White House...(which some have said he has been spotted ) please call your local human society.

Don't try to contain him yourself, he could be armed and dangerous...Leave it to the professionals.
