The real deal behind the inexplicable Algrore: Genuine Gorebore ÿÿÿÿÿVice President Al Gore is doing his part to save President Clinton from impeachment, according to the "Chatterbox" column in Slate, the on-line magazine. ÿÿÿÿÿ"The new Gore strategy apparently calls for Gore to be as annoying as possible, thereby reminding congressional decision-makers of the potential cost of removing Clinton from office," said "Chatterbox," which is edited by Mickey Kaus. ÿÿÿÿÿ"Gore initiated his campaign last week, when he announced plans to spend $20 [million] to $50 million in taxpayers' money to implement a midnight brainstorm of his: Putting a continuous, live image of planet Earth, as seen from space, on the Internet! NASA chief Daniel Goldin has been dragooned into supporting Gore's goo-goo caprice. As John Pike, director of the space policy project at the Federation of American scientists, told Elizabeth Shogren of the Los Angeles Times: 'The Earth is big and the weather is slow, so it's not like there is perceptible motion. It is about as exciting as watching the grass grow.'" ÿÿÿÿÿ"Chatterbox, calling on its extensive network of insider contacts, has learned details of future components of the still-secret Gorebore initiative, which will include: A national campaign to convert football fields to the metric system; a Global Engineering Olympics to be televised during halftime of the NCAA championship basketball game; a gigantic Temple of Science to be built on the Mall in Washington, featuring animatronic demographers discussing overpopulation; and a proposal to have 'students of the world ... gather and study environmental information on a daily basis and communicate that data to the world through television.' And everyone will wear their underwear on the outside so we can check!" ÿÿÿÿÿThe column added: "Actually that last bit about having students gather daily environmental information isn't phony. It's genuine Gorebore."
