Off Topic: Gore 2008?

They See Al Gore by a Nose in 2008
Is Al Gore coming back? If allies we talked to have their way, the former veep will be the next president. "It's Gore Time," says a political strategist and fundraiser who is opening a bid to get Gore into the race. Gore friends see his recent political and business moves as proof he's preparing to run. Allies say that in speeches, Gore has found his voice to address domestic and world issues. And in raising money for his Current TV network, which targets the critical youth market, Big Al has built an issue base and donor network that's competitive with Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton 's. Our source--a top aide in the previous Bush administration--is planning meetings with Gore's team to push an early entry while Clinton runs for re-election in New York. It doesn't end there: The Gorebots want him to pick Sen. Barack Obama, the youthful Illinois African-American, as his No. 2.

I think this is the right book...and our next read. Let me know if it's incorrect.

You can check out the reviews here. It didn't get very good reviews, both from editorial and customer reviews. But...we'll see won't we :)

Uggghhh, back to my data.

Welcome BigBootyHo!

Nice user name 'Ho!'
I like it.

It's up to Liz now to round out these user names. How can you add to a Ho with a big booty and a Gopher that happens to be a Marxist. Hmmmm....ponder that one Liz.

I'm suggesting a 4:00 or 5:00 meeting time on Sunday for our first ever book club! Yeah! We can meet at one of your places and go out for coffee or dinner. I could also rent the movie and we could watch it after our discussion and then talk about how much better the book is than the movie. Ah, how cliche.

Thoughts?
