I am a huge fan of Apple Computer but it makes me sick that they have Algore on their Board of Directors. I still have my PowerBook for digital music, but for everything else I have switched to a really nice Sony running Linux.

Bodyguards? I thought there were special laws that protected mentally challenged people...

However, those lies were the tip of a glaring iceberg of careless political misrepresentations that Al Gore has made through the years. They include the following: Mr. Gore told the Des Moines Register that his tenure as an investigative reporter at the Nashville Tennessean "got a bunch of people indicted and sent to jail." The paper later verified that nobody went to jail as a result of any Gore stories. But the claim sounded good ... while it lasted. Mr. Gore also has continually spoken of the danger he faced in Vietnam. In fact, it was recently reported that he actually had bodyguards assigned to protect him there and fellow soldiers have revealed that he was given priority treatment to keep him out of harms' way. He claimed to have been a co-sponsor of the McCain-Feingold campaign-finance reform bill when Mr. Feingold was not even in the Senate during Mr. Gore's tenure there. And he told a tall tale about discovering "a little place in upstate New York called Love Canal." He added fuel to that lie by declaring he "had the first hearing on that issue ... that started it all." President Carter had actually declared the Love Canal a disaster area months before Mr. Gore's hearing.

Mr. Gore has stooped to his most amazing lows by lying about his tobacco connection in the wake of his sister's 1984 smoking-related death. During his 1996 speech at the Democratic National Convention, Mr.Gore said, "That is why until I draw my last breath I will pour my heart and soul into the cause of protecting our children from the dangers of smoking." The truth: Mr. Gore and his family grew tobacco on the family farm for years after his sister's death. In 1988, four years after her tragic death, he even bragged to North Carolina tobacco growers that he relished growing and fostering tobacco.

Goodness. I need to have my eyes and brains checked. When I first read the title to this post I thought you said Al Gore's body PARTS **shudder** and I clicked on it anyway! Thank goodness this is Friday. Apparently I need some serious rest.
