14. It's nice to know at least one public figure whose conversation
doesn't demand chemical mediation of some kind.

7. Okaaaaaay.
If we can choose any beverage, I choose a couple of nice cups of steaming Earl Grey.


Seriously.

29. "Tea with Al Gore" -- it's actually been tried, with great success!

35. yes ...
I posted a report in my DU journal. Actually, what I did was give my ticket for the "tea" room to one of my students, and I sat in the overflow room with the video feed. Which wasn't a bad deal, because Gore insisted on coming down to the basement to talk to us! A very thoughtful gesture on his part -- he didn't have to do that.

36. He did something similar at his booksigning that I attended.
He didn't have to speak to us as it wasn't scheduled - but did and spoke to each successive group of 100 or more people that day. I think there were probably 600+ people there so he made short speeches for everyone.

Very thoughtful human being.

40. Of all the stupid things during the 2000 race....
...this was at the top of my list. Dry drunk Motherfucker George Bush couldn't even have a beer, but President Gore, who can take an occasional drink, is lambasted.
