Al Gore

arbat pointed out something I did not know about this guy.

Update. I did not mention it, but someone did in the comments, that this little issue has not been well researched. In particular, I do not have any references to the original source of the information, so I do not know what exactly has happened and how. If anyone for some reason wants to take this issue seriously, I will welcome that.

I did not know Gore called WP and complained about the upside earth picture. His arrogance does not surprise me, but it is so misplaced. At least he could talk to someone first. (I also wonder if it has actually happened; it is not out of his character, but I would not be surprised either way.)

What's so arrogant about calling a newspaper and telling them you think they got something wrong? I bet scores of other readers did the same. Doesn't strike me as arrogant at all.

And I do wonder how this op-ed person found out about it.

I agree with the latter, will add it now.
