Algore....

....And "A Convenient Lie"

So if the cause is good enough, it's now okay to lie? President Bush is constantly denounced as a liar for presenting evidence the he (as well as the CIA, Russian President Vladimir Putin, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, British Prime Minister Tony Blair, and most intelligence agencies worldwide) believed to be true but for Al Gore, who believes in the righteousness of his cause, is praised for a movie in which he admits to having an "over-representation of factual presentations..." in order to scare people into worrying about global warming.

Now Back With More to Come...

I should get a substantial post up sometime this week.

Meanwhile, this weekend I received a contribution solicitation from the Democratic National Committee with one of those surveys that are nothing more than a come-on for money. So I filled out the survey and added a few answers of my own that they had not offered such as suggesting vouchers as a possible solution to our schools' performance and that we should not get out of Iraq until 2010 (the latest the DNC apparently thinks we have any business there is 2007). I'm sending back to them in their postage-paid envelope without my own stamp (which they suggested in order to "help save [them] much-needed funds").

I sincerely hope that by responding the DNC will be encouraged to send me more solicitations in the future - the more postage they spend on sending envelopes back and forth the better!
