Idiots ? we need no steeenkin idiots....

Algor(e)ithms:

________

"I tell you that Michael Jackson is unbelievable, isn't he. He's just unbelievable."

~ VP Al Gore Speaking at a D.C. function, wowed by the Chicago Bulls [referring to Michael Jordan]

Source: The Chicago Tribune June 17, 1998

_______

"Dear Mr. and Mrs. Delgadillo, Thank you for your letter regarding the protection of the Texas eagle. I appreciate hearing from you. "I share your view that the urgent problem of species extinction and the conservation of biological diversity should be addressed. The first step in saving any plant or animal from extinction is to become aware of and respect the fragile ecosystems that make up our environment ... "Again, thank you for sharing your thoughts with me. I look forward to working with you for the future of our planet."

~ Al Gore.

It's strange he should talk about the ecosystem and extinction since the Texas Eagle is a TRAIN!

Sources: reported on Fox News Sunday on December 3, 1996, as well as quoted in the National Review and reported in the 12/6/96 Washington Times "Inside the Beltway" by John McCaslin

________

"He is proposing to privatize a big part of Social Security and he's proposing to take $1 trillion, a million billion dollars out of the Social Security trust fund and give it as a tax incentive to young workers."

~ Al Gore criticizing George Bush.

A trillion is one thousand billion, not a million billion.

"I have become a little older since I talked to you, and a few changes have taken place. Yes, I have become a frivolous old girl ! I'm seeing four gentlemen a day. On waking up WILL POWER helps me get out of bed. Then I pay a visit to JOHN. ARTHUR-ITIS makes his presence felt about mid morning. He doesn't like to stay in one place very long, so moves around and takes me from joint to joint. After such a busy day, I'm really tired and ready to go to bed with VIC VAPOR-RUB. What an interesting life !"
