Where've you been? I've been slaving away on our book and you've been no where to be found. An initial shot at a title: Down for the (Re)Count: How [fill in the blank] Lost the Florida Election and the Presidency. Having come up with the title, opening line, and closing line, you have to fill in the blanks (that is, the book). Let me know when you've finished, and I will give you the proper spelling of my name.

You see (and you may not) when you lose, YOU LOSE. The difference is in how a man accepts his fate. There is no shame in losing, only in how you react to that loss. And this brings to me to my point. Gore HAS LOST SEVERAL TIMES ALREADY. Do you get it? I may be as dumb as dumbya but I do agree that when I lose, I LOSE. I know there is no shame in accepting the fate. I also know how to react in case of a loss -- disappointed then move on. Now this brings to your point, a mistaken one at that which I respond to you loud and clear GORE HAS NOT LOST YET. Bush is leading in vote count in Florida. Let us wait for recounts as stipulated by courts in Florida (we have to uphold laws you see) and also count the absentee ballots. Dont you get it? DO YOU GET IT? Its about Gore counting, and counting, and dropping chads, and probably a whole bunch more stuff (got a smoke?...don't worry about the postmark we will take care of that, hey is that a ballot machine in your car, why are all these chads on the floor, hey dudes over here another box of uncounted ballots that say merry x-mas Mr Gore) that hopefully will come out. Words like Delusion, Paranoia, Hallucinating et al come to my mind.
