So I was all set to blog indignantly about the hotel that had removed the Gideon Bibles from all the rooms and replaced them with copies of Al Gore's book about global warming:

They call California the land of fruits and nuts for more than one reason. Proof is presented every day and front and center comes from a Bloomberg Report that details that visitors to the Gaia Napa Valley Hotel and Spa won't find the Gideon Bible in the nightstand drawer. Instead, on the bureau will be a copy of "An Inconvenient Truth," former Vice President Al Gore's book about global warming.

Got that. If you want to read a bit before bed and get a little inspiration, instead of scripture you get to read some alarmist propaganda from a man that worships the earth while traveling around it in a private jet.

But then, inconveniently, the truth reared it's ugly head:

Dear Bloomberg reporter,

We need to correct a mistake that ran in Bloomberg last Friday re: an article on Gaia Napa Valley Hotel and Spa.

The article implied that Gideon Bibles were being replaced by Al Gore's book, "An Inconvenient Truth".

This is not the case.

Gaia Napa Valley Hotel and Spa is a new hotel, the grand opening was held on March 30, 2007.

Gideon Bibles have been ordered for all the rooms and will be made available to guests...

Sincerely,

Gaia Napa Valley Hotel and Spa

Dang it. I'd already put together my fun little graphic and everything.

Nonetheless, I maintain that the fact that there are people who actually take Al Gore seriously is the most inconvenient truth of all.
