STORY: Albert Gore, Jr. actually won the election in 2000, entitling him to the presidency, but George W. Bush stole it so he could poison babies, tip over garbage dumpsters in Alaska, and tear the ozone layer a new @ss hole..

TRUE OR FALSE? Irrepressively false. This story was spread by irrational Gore supporters angry that he lost both the election and all credibility with the American public. In actuality, it was Gore who tried to steal the election, but his efforts were thwarted by the rule of law, a fair day in court, an angry populace and a very cool-headed but tough-as-nails Bush -- plus the fact the Bush won the Florida vote and therefore its Electoral College votes.

Queen Elizabeth II observed that "the young can sometimes be wiser than us." Than us? Unfortunately, according to The Oxford Guide to English Usage, Her Majesty was guilty of improper usage.

I always thought the "Queen's English" was how or what ever the Queen spoke. I like the new proper usage. I mean, really: "the young can sometimes be wiser than we"? sounds awfully stilted unless you say: "the young can sometimes be wiser than we can".
