Err, I have a monkey, she's a doll. is one

Who else is on Apple's board? That is a great idea Decado, get up a petition for the next president to ban M$. Unfortunately it won't be Al. But at least we know that it will be a democrat, huh, Scott

Then I would think eco-nut-boy Gore will fit right in. Perhaps we can kidnap him and set a tall tree stump in his chair... no that wouldnt work, the stump would have more personnality, people would get suspisious.

Hey, he's a good guy, a little short on the personality thingie, but he did some good things in office. At least he could add 2 to 2 and come up with an acceptable answer. Something his predecessor never quite got the handle of. We could talk about his successor but , well we all know the company he represents.

Well for one I would hazard that Al Gore can offer his great intelligence. He may be short on sense of humour and popularly understood charisma, but he is enormously thoughtful and has a keen intellect. Sound like his bloody press secretary, don't I? But seriously, Al Gore takes a fanatical interest in complicated matters that are important to whatever position he holds. While Bill Clinton managed to attend most of his national security and foreign policy briefings he was never very interested in them, but Al Gore was and he ended up shaping a lot more of the administration's policy than a VP usually does. For this reason he earned the respect of the intelligence and defense communities. While not specifically related to the computer industry I think this all indicates that Al Gore can be a valuable addition to whatever corporate team he joins.

I find it hard to believe that the whole "I invented the internet" comment necessarily translates into intelligence. At least we know he's trying to be innovative.

I just can't believe this.

Totally Excellent! Maybe this will make some Republican's switch to Windows
