Al Gore on 60 Minutes
For anyone that missed it 60 Minutes did a story on Al Gore last Sunday. I especially enjoy Gore's reaction to the current Vice President's beliefs on global warming at the 10:56 point. Enjoy!
Lyndon Baines Johnson
"I shall not seek, and I will not accept, the nomination of my party for another term as your president..."
Johnson uttered these words in a televised speech forty years ago tonight. How unfortunate that his legacy has been so severely tarnished (rightly so) by the escalation of the Vietnam War under his tenure as President. Let us not forget some of the good that came durning his Presidency: the "Great Society", the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the apppointment of Thurgood Marshall to the Supreme Court, the first African-American to be appointed to the high court, to name a few.

Dance Dance Revolution
Somehow Frank managed to talk me into buying Dance Dance Revolution today for the Wii. He's got until Mario Kart Wii is released (April 27th) to get it out of his system.
The collection, this and last generation.

How sweet this would be...
Click here for the story.
With Obama weakening and Clinton going off the deep end could Gore be the party's savior? Highly doubtful but one can dream...
Have I mentioned how much I love Al Gore?

"Quotes"
"If Tyrrany and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy."
"The means of defense against foreign danger historically have become the instruments of tyranny at home."
-James Madison, 4th President (1809-1817)
"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
-Ben Franklin, founding father 1755
"It's not tyranny we desire; it's a just, limited, federal government."
-Alexander Hamilton, father of capitalism and my favorite gay founding father
