i'm sure he did

if you can remember, bill clinton lost the launch codes out of his wallet. Must have fallen out when he was retreiving a rubber.

I've always wondered if the President carries keys. He never drives and all the doors are opened for him. I'll bet Bush keeps a set for his pickup in Crawford.

Who remembers the story of Agore opening a restaurant?

'Al and Tipper's Country Diner' Not to Be

It looks like Tennesseans won't be enjoying the culinary delights of "Al and Tipper's Country Diner" anytime soon.

In fact, a Gore spokesman now claims that a Reuters report that the former VP announced he was opening his own "low-cost" greasy spoon was 100 percent wrong.

"The story was based on an erroneous hearing of Gore's remarks," Reuters said late Friday. "According to a transcript provided by a representative for Gore, the former vice president said, '... we stopped at a little family restaurant in Tennessee. We were eating there by ourselves. It was a low-cost restaurant called Shoney's.'"

Late Thursday the wire service reported that Gore had told an audience in Lagos, Nigeria, "We have started a family restaurant in Tennessee and we are running it ourselves. It is a low-cost restaurant."

Instead of waiting tables and slinging hash, the former Democratic Party presidential candidate will divide his time between a new job with a West Coast investment firm and lecturing at two Tennessee colleges.

Something I have always wondered. Does the President actually carry a wallet with money in it?

I remember a story George H W Bush told once. I think it was mid-Presidency, and a little school girl asked a similar question.

His reply was that he stopped writing checks and started using a CC since people wouldn't cash the check (since the signature is potentially more valuable), so his checkbook was always out of balance.
