Gas prices back under $2/Gallon in the US

Yes, they always denature Ethanol for cars

They do the same thing with N2O. The Nitrous you buy for your car has a lung irritant in it so you can't run a dual stage system. One stage for the engine and one for the driver.

I've seen Al Gore within twenty feet at some political photo op when I lived in Tennessee, previous to the Clinton-Gore presidential bid. There is no way I would believe him to have a PDD of any sort. He is not just a liar, he's a really good liar. Some of his lies are not good, however. He did not invent the internet and his "love story" was never made into a movie.

I don't think he came up with the inventing Internet rumor. His political adversaries did; he expressed himself rather clumsily about how he got funding for it in the eighties.

The history of the internet goes back to 1967, when it really was a internet; it was developed for communication between some US universities. That was the "bulk" or "internet proper", so to speak.

[DirtDawg]

Well, in any case, it's not a secret anymore.

So, does anyone know if Al Gore has AS or not, or is it yet another Internet fairy tale?

I heard that Al Gore invented the Internet.   

If he has AS, he is not officially diagnosed, as far as I can find.  I know his son broke away from holding his hand and ran out into traffic when he was six and was hit by a car. 

Some people believe that Al Gore has Narcisistic Personality Disorder.

I had forgotten about this tragedy. That would be enough to make someone leap off the deep end and fight to get out of rope range.

... and he knows how to turn that kind of BS into a positive, better than many politicians. Whether you start a lie or not, plays a small part in how you actually use it and benefit from it, most of the time. He might be dangerous. I first became aware of him when I lived in Tennessee and he was moving up in that state's politics. I liked him then! He was also a big fish in a small pond, while serving Tennessee, but the caseload that accompanies national politics has undeniably taken a toll on his credibility, as he tries to swim in the "big water".

I would choose Gore over Hillary, but I'm afraid that may be the exact form of the Democratic ticket, in the next presedential election. We may get both.




MODDED TO ADD:

Yes, I've seen the statement he made, denying that he is preparing to seek the nomination.

Last night, Al Gore’s global-warming documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, collected an Oscar for best documentary feature, but the Tennessee Center for Policy Research has found that Gore deserves a gold statue for hypocrisy.

Gore’s mansion, located in the posh Belle Meade area of Nashville, consumes more electricity every month than the average American household uses in an entire year, according to the Nashville Electric Service (NES).

In his documentary, the former Vice President calls on Americans to conserve energy by reducing electricity consumption at home.

The average household in America consumes 10,656 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per year, according to the Department of Energy. In 2006, Gore devoured nearly 221,000 kWh-more than 20 times the national average.

Last August alone, Gore burned through 22,619 kWh-guzzling more than twice the electricity in one month than an average American family uses in an entire year. As a result of his energy consumption, Gore’s average monthly electric bill topped $1,359.

Since the release of An Inconvenient Truth, Gore’s energy consumption has increased from an average of 16,200 kWh per month in 2005, to 18,400 kWh per month in 2006.

Gore’s extravagant energy use does not stop at his electric bill. Natural gas bills for Gore’s mansion and guest house averaged $1,080 per month last year.

“As the spokesman of choice for the global warming movement, Al Gore has to be willing to walk the walk, not just talk the talk, when it comes to home energy use,” said Tennessee Center for Policy Research President Drew Johnson.

In total, Gore paid nearly $30,000 in combined electricity and natural gas bills for his Nashville estate in 2006.

yes, but he houses 20 mexican families who takes care of his lawns.

Sweden's new priar minister had a Lithuanian maid, that was underwaged due to the Swedish minimum wage law. Of course the son of a fucking bitch got away with it.

The history of the internet goes back to 1967, when it really was a internet; it was developed for communication between some US universities. That was the "bulk" or "internet proper", so to speak.

I know, and so does Al Gore. That's my point.

How has he used that Internet rumor? I'm asking because we haven't had that kind of coverage on him, and I really would like to know. It seems to me that it's the kind of lie you wouldn't want to use since it's so easy to disprove.

IMO, apart from the fact that he doesn't want to run, he would be the best candidate, liar or not. The chance of the US getting a President that doesn't lie is practically nonexistent so as a foreigner dependent on US politics, I'd much prefer a President with a clear and explicit agenda, which he has.

To put it frankly, Al Gore is full of shit, like most politicians? 

[odeon]

No, I don't think he is, actually.

[Litigious]

Not full of it, but that's a pretty cheap and ridiculous lie.

Yes, their son nearly died, but he eventually got better.  Tipper Gore went into a deep depression after that.
