So I want to pose this question. Is Al Gore testing us? My wife gave me as a birthday present Al Gore's recent book, The Assault on Reason. I've heard Randi Rhodes talk about many times, even saying we should all read it this summer. Well, the summer passed, and I hadn't moved my butt. I've got a good reason, I was busy writing my thesis. And if my advisor happens to read this diary, aren't you happy that is over? I am.
Anyhow, on a recent trip, I was able to read a large portion of the book. I found myself captivated. None of what Al Gore said about the Bush administration was really new news to me, but to see it all there .. all 7 years worth of this Bush-crapola was .. in the least, nauseating.
But then Al Gore would always draw these great analogies from non-political things (including Newton's third law of motion) and parallels from the past. And he would say what we need to do better. But I kept thinking, while reading his book, why isn't he running. Follow me below for more.
