York on the alleged Al Gore incident

I'm not going to excerpt any of Byron York's article, but I agree with him that there doesn't appear to be anything about the sexual assault allegation against Al Gore which undermines it's credibility. Al Gore's increasing nuttiness and egotism over the years makes it all too believable. I do think it's a little sad that the woman making the accusation seems to have a deep-rooted prejudice against poodles. But other than that, her story seems to confirm that Gore was extremely well suited to take over all of Clinton's more interesting job functions had he become incapacitated.

  1. When Gore recited his poem about global warming on CNN, that closed the book on his sanity.

  2. Here's a link.

    Here's the text:

    “Our Choice”

    One thin September soon 

    A floating continent disappears 

    In midnight sun

    Vapors rise as 

    Fever settles on an acid sea
    Neptune’s bones dissolve

    Snow glides from the mountain 

    Ice fathers floods for a season 

    A hard rain comes quickly

    Then dirt is parched 

    Kindling is placed in the forest 

    For the lightning’s celebration

    Unknown creatures 

    Take their leave, unmourned 

    Horsemen ready their stirrups

    Passion seeks heroes and friends
    The bell of the city 

    On the hill is rung

    The shepherd cries 

    The hour of choosing has arrived 

    Here are your tools

  3. LOL. Well, she's not against all poodles. Just sex-crazed ones.

    Speaking of poodles...the other day I received an email from SEOBook.com about "the contextual Web" and how Google's algorithm has evolved over the years to recognize context better. It seems that a few years ago Google would have interpreted "hot dog" as "boiling puppy." I don't know why that cracked me up, but it did. I guess I'm warped. (Don't worry, I would never boil a puppy. Sautee, maybe, but not boil.)

    BTW, that poem is hilarious.
