The White House had the story eliminated pending a re-write by Al Gore. This was delayed by global warming as his personal jet overheated while idling on the runway waiting for the fuel truck to top off the tanks. Full story at 10pm

He certainly is doing well. Big mansion and a big boat on the lake. I am sure they are all solar powered or something of the like.

If you really notice you don't hear much about "GLOBAL WARMING" any more. They can't prove global warming and have found they were collecting their info from asphalt parking lots. Now they say the globe is cooling. With all that info and not knowing what they are talking about it has been renamed "CLIMATE CHANGE".

Now other than a glitch or 2 I think the internet is great....If it wasn't for the internet I couldn't complain about Windows Vista.... I still can't get on web sites that are on engineads!!!!

Please be advised this is my opinion and mine alone. It does not reflect the views of management or this web site!! Any simularity between these statements and real statements are purely coincidental. Fred
