Yuck, a Gore trying to be funny - not a pretty sight:
'ONE OF my favorite 'operations' was 'Operation Just Cause.' Whenever I heard it, I had acted out a little dia logue in my head. 'Why are we invading this country?' one voice would say. 'Just cause,' the other would reply. Clearly, the government could do a better naming job."
So writes new author Kristin Gore in her charming novel about life as a congressional aide and on the campaign trail. Her fresh fiction "Sammy's Hill" is a delightful read and right up there in the hot "chick lit" genre, but this one has brains.
If you like Bridget Jones and girls of that ilk, you'll love Kristin's heroine, Samantha, a hypochondriac and insecure, upwardly mobile smartie looking for love in all of Washington's wrong places.
Yes, author Gore is the daughter of former Veep Al Gore. But if you're a Republican, don't hold that against her book. It's a really wonderful read.

So here is his early morning email to me.
Sometimes you can make government computers work for you. At least they act faithfully and give everyone the same answer. You people that seek to have these folks positions are you going to play the Hear no Evil, See no Evil and speak no evil game as well? Jeez I gave you a very interesting clue about how I can prove John Kerry is not worthy of the Public Trust.
As of yet not one of you has responded. Could it be because someone told you not to because I can prove Mr. Bush is worse? Please review what I sent you and never forget that allow I am just a Canadian, I have the same rights as you under Title 42 Sec 1981 & 1982 etc etc. Am I the only one willing to speak up in the defense of your Rights and demand that the Public Trust be upheld and malevolent authorities be held accountable?
Most of you are not encumbents I threw in some to spice up the stew. This is you chance to sweep public corruption from the congress for at least maybe a day or two. Someone might as well speak up because I am emailing the World.
What planet are you folks from?

Hey Johnny You should really think about what you just sent me and review what I sent you. Then ask your help to explain Rule 9 of the Code of Ethics that was made law about 1958 or so Title 18 sec 1001 or Title 28 sec 530b can enlighten you as well.
I can send you a summons to court from any of every US District Court and you would have to answer me then or pay a great amount of relief.
At least I thank you for acknowledging what you received. Whether you read it or not is not my fault. You can never deny you got it. My address is clearly stated within the tif files attached.
The same holds true for you too Denny Boy.
Why don't you all just pick up the phone and ask H. Marshaal Jarrett or Michael E. Shaheen to go Mr. Raines' New School of Ethics? Maybe they can learn some new tricks to teach all you dudes in Congress. I am bored with the standard operating proceedure give me something new to ponder or get honest. Will ya?
Cya'll in Court:)

No thanks to Kristin Gore's book. I'm currently reading David McCullough's bio of John (and Abigail) Adams. It's striking how his challenges were so similar to the problems we face today: French perfudy, hyper-partisanship, and the appeasement crowd.
As France pounded the drums of war, Adams' opponents shreiked with horror at every proposal to build up a U.S. Navy. "You'll make them mad! You'll start a war!" they would cry. Adams eventually released classified dispatches revealing that French Minister Tallyrand was demanding bribes for himself and no-interest loans to France to "mend the rift caused by the U.S. president's insults to France". That shut up the opposition and caused a swelling of support for Adams. The opponents then changed their tunes and accused Adams of using war to increase his popularity. Sound familiar? James Carville would have fit very well in their circle. (I'm sorry to say it was Thomas Jefferson who filled the Carville role.)
Eventually, of course, France invaded and the U.S. was very well served by having invested in a Navy.
