GORE!!!

You know, on a site devoted primarily to movies, a title like the one above good be heralding a diatribe about the general decline of standards in todays movie industry -- How too many films rely on visual ick to provide scares (or in the case of Blair Witch, to provide genuine ick all over theater floors!). But no, the title for today comes from my re-reading some of the gripes listed down below -- mainly the one entitled Slick Willie. It was a medium rant about the then impending impeachment proceedings, and how I thought they'd all be a waste of time (call me prophetic). The last line of it read, "And do you really want President gore?" Time has passed now, and the question is no longer rhetorical -- Do you really want President Gore? Do you want President Bush again? Yeah sure, he's a different person, but let's not try to kid anyone -- the nuts don't fall far from the tree. I was actually looking forward to something interesting -- Elizabeth Dole, that would be a shake up, wouldn't it? And from her years with the Red Cross we know she cares what happens to people outside the benefits to be gained politically. My father-in-law has been rooting for Bush since the last election just about, but he's rich, and it's a real good bet that rich young Gov. Bush is going to support policies my in-laws will approve of. As my wife is an only child, and we are destined to also benefit from policies favoring the rich, I suppose I should like him too -- but I ain't rich yet. And I still don't like Gore.

Now what?
