And I'll fire anyone who has lied to the American people or the United States Congress." - Candidate Al Gore The next time Al Gore says: "Why can't we stop these mean, vicious, personal attacks and stick to the issues.", I pray for the reply: I'd like to Al, but your abject dishonesty and criminal activity IS the issue. As soon as I take office, you'd better get yourself a good lawyer. Bob Becker Check out today's (Sunday) New York Post article <<Ahlert: That's Why Your For Gore?>> which includes the following clarification on the subject of comparative smarts: "George W. Bush and Al Gore graduated Yale and Harvard, respectively, with equally modest grade-point averages. But while W. went on to earn an MBA at Harvard, Al was busy flunking out of Vanderbilt University's Divinity School (eight classes, 5 Fs) and dropping out of the Law School." NYTIMES reports......Philip K. Verleger Jr., of the Brattle Group, an economic consulting firm in Cambridge, Mass., said that the gush of oil onto the market would probably push the price of crude down by $5 to $7 a barrel, which comes to 10 to 15 cents a gallon. That could be enough, depending on such factors as the weather, to save a typical oil-heated household up to $100 over the winter, and a family might well experience similar savings for gasoline over several months of driving. The price of goods transported by trucks would also be held down. And because oil and gas are sometimes substituted for each other — in electricity generation and various other industrial uses — a decline in the price of one fuel would hold down the price of the other, experts said. Yall have a great weekend Steve
