I was under the impression Kerry invented the ocean while recuperating from his 'battle' wounds.

There's no news here. This is the same bullsh!+ that has formed the backbone of the Black Spanish propaganda propagated by the British since the failed invasion of Britain by the Spanish Armada. Every child taught in the public school since the 1970s has heard this.

What is news is the translation of his diary into English.

No AlGore invented the ocean after he formed the earth. Kerry was in Cambodia at the time meeting one on one with Santa Claus.

Yeah, but he sailed the ocean, not the "ocen", so it doesn't count.

"El Rey que hay en Madrid, se fue en Aranjuez!"

Now, don't esstart, por favor!

But if Columbus had sailed the following year, the poem could still work because it would rhyme with "boundless sea" - Richard Armour
