Gore Endorses Dean

Say it ain’t so, Al! Gore Endorses Dean This is just politics at its pettiest as Al Gore desperately tries to remain relevant in the Democratic Party. He’s a sore loser looking for revenge. MoveOn.org gave him a couple of nice handjobs over the last year, providing partisan forums where he could safely bash Bush

Back to work this morning and no pink slip waiting for me. Couple of snarky comments, though. Considering I don’t remember the last 2-3 hours of the night, including the train ride home, that’s a good thing, I guess. I’ve always been a little coy about my drinking – for a long time even joked
