Gore's speech
Gore's speech is a stemwinder, and will fire up the faithful. But is it really wise to hammer the coal industry in this context? Granted, that's Gore's thing, but with West Virginia hanging in the balance do you really want to say that the Republicans are in the pocket of Big Coal? Or have the Democrats written Appalachia down to zero?
UPDATE: All in, the consensus up here in the 'Dacks is that Gore gave a great speech.
MORE: Missed this -- we should not have fought the Mexican war? Well, if we had listened to Lincoln on that one there would be no Senator from Arizona, so I suppose I see the point, but still. Opposition to the Mexican War is not the reason why we remember Lincoln, or think that he was great.

Well of course not. These are the Democrats. When the Mexican army crossed the border and attacked US troops, we only had what was coming to us.
That link is incorrect, BTW. Wrong post, right site.

I didn't feel like spewing my dinner on my new couch, so I didn't listen to Gore's speech.
However, I've got a sawbuck that says "Gorebasm" didn't mention a thing about the 10,000 sq. ft. house of his that eats up electricity at 12 times the rate used by "the little people."
If Albert had been smart, he would have just watched Obama's speech at home while fondling his Oscar, but, he, he has no shame, does he?
