Al Gore CHANGED HIS BREAKFAST ORDER!!! w/poll

he was going for the special? with the two pancakes? but he switched to grape nuts.
follow me over the flip for the analysis...

you know he'd have to be at his leanest and meanest if...well, you know...

so he just decided to eschew chewing on the empty carbs of yesterday, and has actually begun to look forward to a new, leaner day.

OK - all seriousness aside...

congrats to Al for winning the Nobel Prize...!!!

Now's the time for you to help restore our country!

Please, Al.

  •  quick, nutritious -

    utilitarian. I like it.

  •  yes.

    by condoleaser on Fri Oct 12, 2007 at 05:35:46 AM PDT

•  Oh come on - this was my gag from yesterday

  I'll still play along for the fun of it though - especially because the name condoleaser totally cracks me up. :-)

  Here are the top signs to look for:

  1.) If Al buys Halloween candy at Costco, he's clearly announcing this month.

  2.) If he orders two turkey sandwichs in a row at the local deli, he's announcing in November.

  3.) If Tipper buys candycanes at Wallgreens, a clear sign of a December bid.

•  toast and peanut butter and tea

  the tea must be black and have lemon
  the peanut butter must be JIF creamy

  what's that you say?  set in my ways?  nonsense!

  by fotyc on Fri Oct 12, 2007 at 05:37:40 AM PDT

  •  well,

    if the strong tea had some skim milk in, and no lemon - and if the Jif was the cruchy style...

    how about that bread - ?

    whole grain, at least...?

    by condoleaser on Fri Oct 12, 2007 at 05:40:55 AM PDT

    •  Yeah CL - -

•  I'll have the ham and eggs

  and in honor of my local Waffle House, I'll have the hash browns scattered, covered, and smothered.

•  For breakfast

  I ate the Huff Post, because it was the first thing my computer served this morning. The Al Gore-flavored headline was delicious. Failed to scroll down the page, but went for a second helping of food, dKos this time, for a more chewy encounter with the morning's nourishment.

  Grapenuts are a great food to eat in a cooling environment, they help you generate mucho heat as you chew them. But I'm betting Al had a croissant with plum jelly and coffee this a.m.

  Me, I'm gonna go eat the Times now, looking for that perfect flavor for lunch. But dinner will organically-grown locally grown food cooked locally, without too much of the flavor of petroleum taint in it.

•  At what point

  does the draft Al Gore movement qualify as a stalker movement?

  Because its getting real close to that.

  by bam bam on Fri Oct 12, 2007 at 06:18:00 AM PDT

  •  is it now? gee, better call the police!!!

    LOL.

    Why does it hurt some of you so much to give Al another moment in the sun?  Especially on this occassion?  

    I just don't get it.

    by GernBlanzten on Fri Oct 12, 2007 at 07:51:37 AM PDT

    •  Oh for Christ sake

      he's not interested and you people are like freaking Glenn Close from Fatal Attraction.

      You are like some life long losers pinning you retirement hopes on your next lottery ticket. Your reasoning is light on some real world facts on the ground about how you can't make someone against their will be a presidential candidate.

      Grow up and stop looking at Gore the way a child looks at a dept. store Santa Claus.

      by bam bam on Fri Oct 12, 2007 at 08:33:18 AM PDT

      •  thanks!

        we'll think it over and get back to you. hi to pebbles.

        by condoleaser on Fri Oct 12, 2007 at 08:34:12 AM PDT

        •  you ever think

          that this notion of hanging your hopes on remote possibilities is a handicap to actually accomplishing goals?

          You want to hang on the 5% chance that Gore will enter the race when he has pretty much gone out of his way to deflate any momentum towards that goal?

          Is that even remotely logical? I mean at this point, Kucinich is a more realistic chance of winning just because he is officially competing in the race. What, that detail is irrelevant now?

          Hey, its a free country, continue with whatever fool's errand you want. But ask yourself this, if it finally comes clear to YOU (as it has to the rest of us) he's not running, and every other candidate except maybe the one you least liked has dropped out of the race, because too many people like you were waiting for Godot, is it all going to be worth it, especially if there were alternative who were okay non-Gore choices for president?

          Is it about the fantasy of seeing president Gore that matters, or about the issues you care about?

          It is just about the former instead of the latter, then continue on with your futile efforts.

          •  what part of

            "we'll think it over and get back to you."

            is giving you trouble?

            maybe... time for your nap...?

             bamm! bamm!

•  Summer/Winter

  Summer: Tea & Apple or Pear

  Winter: Tea & Bao Zi, eg, Sheng Jian Bao or Choi Bao.

  When I vist the USA I always try American Breakfast the first day but it too big. Actually, I like American breakfast for dinner, ham & eggs or pancakes & egg.

•  From the FAQ

  Diaries should be substantive. A good guideline is that if you don't have at least three solid paragraphs to write about your subject, you should probably post a comment in an open thread, or in a recent diary or front-page post that covers a topic relevant to what you wish to write about.

  Please delete and make your comment in a diary that addresses the Gore win in a substantive fashion.  There are several excellent ones available for posting.
