Well of the three you have named you know that one will be honest.

Jean Dixon once said Al Gore would never be president.

I thought that Al Gore said that the world would end in early 2016 due to runaway global warming. Why would he want to run?

He won in 2000 ... ... he can do it again in 2016 but it would mean a BIG pay cut.
