We need a little bifurcated anger in this morose time. Anger churns the bile and vents the sleen. A needed purgative for the body politic.What I have read from the right wing was anger at his anger. It's an irate circle-jerk from what I can tell. :arrow: :arrow: :arrow:
Arrows for sure.

I was not happy to see the anger seeping in.
One of the Gore's best angles is that he has largely stayed OUT of the Culture Wars, making him a clear choice for Millies who are tired of rhetoric and want a leader. Even though he is picking his battles, I was hoping to see him wait until really the last minute before coming forward...possibly with a new alternative energy plan in hand, to announce his candidacy in '08 (a Millie fantasy?)!!!
Al Gore is easily my first choice for '08, '12, or beyond, if that means anything. Gray Champion indeed.

But how could he be a serious GC candidate if he stood idly by while all of this crap is going on? I am glad to see him pop up. I just hope his recent weight gain is not a sign of a more serious problem. But my guess his recent ventures have been stressful. I know I turn to McDonald's under stress.

You're probably a little young to remember the crusade his wife Tipper led against popular music with questionable lyrics.
I originally wasn't going to watch the speech, because I'd read it here on line. I wound up tuning in for the second half of it, and it actually sounded better than it read! What I don't get is why it was ignored the way it was.But how could he be a serious GC candidate if he stood idly by while all of this crap is going on? I am glad to see him pop up.

As for McDonald's - it's comfort food for me too. But I just found out that I have the same weight and height as Ariel Sharon . . . :shock:

One thing that keeps resonanting in my mind is this portion of Gore's 2000 concession speech:
Some have asked whether I have any regrets and I do have one regret: that I didn't get the chance to stay and fight for the American people over the next four years, especially for those who need burdens lifted and barriers removed, especially for those who feel their voices have not been heard. I heard you and I will not forget.
A few months ago I read Earth in the Balance and have reading up on Gore. He loves Saecular theory and Ken Wilber's works. Something in my gut says this may be the man, and one I could believe in.

As long as you are not responsible for the Gaza pullout, and therefore not responsible for "dividing God's land", Pat Robertson says you're safe. Now that should be some "comfort". :wink:

I also have short legs - and three grandparents who failed to reach 75 for one reason or another.

If I am too young to remember something, so is the entire Millennial generation. Remember Archie Bunker? I don't. How about Chernobyl? Not me. Learned about it in History class.You're probably a little young to remember the crusade his wife Tipper led against popular music with questionable lyrics.
From the Millennial POV, there has ALWAYS been a crusade against popular music with questionable lyrics.

Yeah, Tipper got out of hand with the anti-"Me So Horny" crusade, but that was Tipper, it wasn't Al. I mean what was he supposed to do, tell her and the PMRC to fuck off?!If I am too young to remember something, so is the entire Millennial generation. Remember Archie Bunker? I don't.

Fortunately, as Millie Eekelsey has noted, it's a non-issue anymore. We haven't had any Ice-T fiascos for awhile now. The PMRC is a bad 80s flashback.

Do you have a death wish? Total war is not a euphamism to be thrown around lightly. While I agree that we need to reign-in the rich-and-powerful, setting the world on fire is no way to do it. :evil:
OK then, if the liberals can't stomach this approach, perhaps they should try a redux of 1930s-era isolationism: Yes, oppose the war in Iraq, etc., but at the same time throw the eco-nerds overboard and advocate aggressive domestic oil exploration (that means drilling, for those of you in Rio Linda, West Palm Beach and Staten Island) plus unbridled nuclear power - that way, the left would come across as manly, go-it-alone, "America First" types - and they would eat it up in southern Ohio, and maybe even southern Louisiana.
Of course it would probably take a generational coup within the Democratic Party to accomplish something like this, since such an agenda has "Nomad" written all over it - but hey, if you're going to strike out anyway, you might as well do it swinging for the fences instead of just standing in the batter's box and hoping for a walk, as the left is so obviously doing now.
But maybe if the putative Robin Hoods stopped trying to take from law-abiding citizens and give to criminals, take from men and give to women, take from believers and give to anti-believers, take from citizens and give to "undocumented" immigrants, and take from heterosexuals and give to homosexuals, they might have a lot more success in taking from the rich and giving to everyone else.
Don't blame me - I'm a Baby Buster!

Sheikh al-Gore
Sheikh al-Gore travels the the home of the 9/11 terrorists and delivers a speech, in part sponsored by the family of Osama bin Laden, saying the U.S. government committed "terrible abuses" against Arabs after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, that Arabs had been "indiscriminately rounded up" and held in "unforgivable" conditions. Then adding that the Bush administration was playing into al-Qaida's hands by routinely blocking Saudi visa applications.
Any comments from the Gore is the future "Gray Champion" folks, here?
SSDD -- speak out against the Cult of Bush and get called a traitor for your trouble.
Nothing new.
Sounds like repairing bridges Bush has burned.
