Now that Al Gore has hooked up with Alfred Nobel, everyone wants to know: Is he or isn't he ... planning to run for President? Nobel's given him a bump. You can see it in the polls. You can see it when you look at him. A.Go's cheeks are rosy and his tummy is bulging. (Good thing he lost the beard. That would be way too freaky.)
So why the silence? Is he waiting to tell his family? Is he stressing over which friend to tell first? (He should just take them out to lunch and announce it to all of them at once.) Or has he been too busy vomiting?
The chatter is only getting louder. Come on, Al, tell us. There's a massive baby shower waiting to happen. (Note to attendees: No gifts over $2300.)
Vote below - then read why Al Gore is not just another Rita Moreno.

46. Aw Mo,
I get a Saturday off and everyone gets a life.
Well, for those watching the 180 Test Pattern--
I'll tell you about the time I went out on a date with Ann Coulter.
I picked her up around 7, literally, she couldn't get out of her bed. Then, she stumbled to the bathroom, took whatever, and when she came out, she looked at me with those Ann Heche (before the meds) eyes. She was wearing her only one black dress, you know the one, short and sleeveless and said, Let's go!
So we were driving to a very nice "dignified established" restaurant when she started rubbing my thigh. Then she looks at me and the rear window (at the same time) and says "Hey, wanna have some fun?"
I said "Yeah."
She says "Pull over." I pull over. She jumps out of the car, runs up to a Synagogue, pulls a Nazi flag out of her purse, hangs it on the door, and comes back and yells "Drive!"
We go on for a few miles, discussing how the Democrat's poisoned Reagan's drinking water when again, she yells "Stop."
I stop. She gets out and starts yelling up at some apartment building. She was saying something like "Come on hon, it's our night to party."
Then some lights come on and I can hear police sirens in the distance. She jumps in the car and yells "Go!"
I go. I ask her, "What was that?" She tells me that she was calling up to one of the 9/11 widows for their husband to come down. I said "But aren't they..."
She said, "Don't worry about it sweetheart, they're Harpies."
I ask her "I don't suppose we are really going to dinner, are we?"
She snaps back, "Look at me, do I look like I do dinner?"
And then she starts staring at me like this.
A long pause, and then she asks "Look, if you'd be more comfortable on a date with John Edwards..."
I dropped her off at the next Mosque, but I had to wonder, was I just overreacting?

47. Why would Al want to become President and have to clean up the mess left by the present administration? I'm sure that he's having too much fun now to be dragged into the political cesspool that is Washington, DC.
Plus this is the ultimate vindication for him....someone who is a good decent honorable man.

48.
The answer is no!!!! Besides you should have put her under the car not in the car.

JOHN, Answer NOOOOOOO !!! You are joking of course.

50. Mo,
Really, I think Al Gore was on the right track with his movie, he just was a little one sided with it. I'm not sure he deserved to win a Nobel for it though...Of course, I'm all for Bono winning it(by himself), so I think I may be a bit biased about the whole deal. John, I may be a conservative, but really, RUN, do NOT walk from Ann Coulter. Your Top Secret Clearance (which you'll need once Kimball is elected-trust me) could very well be in jeopardy just from that one date!!
Your friend in Maryland,
Jamie

51. I hope Al Gore DOES run for president. He'd make a hell of a lot better president than any Republican. :)- Couldn't you imagine him at a presidential debate with the Nobel Peace Prize in one hand and an Oscar in the other? I have to admit, that would be pretty funny. Oh, and by the way, SaM-from-#15, Al Gore WON the popular vote in 2000. He only lost because of our retarded electoral college (I doubt if you even know what that is). America's not a true democracy, because in a true democracy the ACTUAL VOTERS would be the ones that mattered, NOT the states.

That's why ILY,
Hey,
Where's Finn tonight?
Andrea, still waiting on the 59 Flavors?

53. Oh no,
Don't tell me we have to bail out Mo & Finn!
Look, I'm maxing out my Visa guys.
Can't you get along. In the City. And all that?
I'll see what my blue ball garden sphere goes for on EBay and I'll get back to you.
Andrea, I was wondering, could you tell me more about Sue & U.
Blayze, what DOES a History professor of Yale do on a Saturday night?
(probably wished he went to Harvard...hahahah...")
No, that wasn't funny.
This isn't either:
Just in from the Kimball Campaign--
Since the pundit media cannot establish a definitive State of origin of Candidate Kimball, i.e., no one knows what State Agent Kimball or Pixley County actually existed in, it is presumed that Hank Kimball is a favorite son in at least 16 states (and possibly Guam)).
Mo,
I'd have those suits pressed if I were you!

54. NEWS BREAK:
This is unconfirmed, but we are just receiving information that Puck's husband...what..have..may have just beamed Finn into a bulkhead...no, wait, we are receiving updated information, into, a, a, what sir?
Okay, we can go with this: Someone or Something has converted Finn's molecules into an abstract matter. More on this from Andrea.

Baltimoregal > you are sooooo right. I'm glad someone else noticed.
Thanks Andrea, It's lonely out here on the ledge.

MO - Great job on Olberman . I especially liked the remark about Leonardo D'Caprio. Keep on Keepin On. Have a fun weekend.

57. Oh No!
I got so lost going to bathroom after my Ambien that I acccidentally wound up on Ada Calhoun's site.
Marsha, et. al. don't leave me now.

58. I leave for the day and the whole blog goes bananas for Al Gore. Just because the man wins some absurd peace prize from Norway doesn’t he’s qualified for the presidency. So what if he invented the internet, Doritos, and global warming. He’s a fine guy and all but he had his chance back in 2000. If Gore wants to rule over stuff, you mind’s well just make him emperor of the world which he already kind of is.
It’s been a busy night at Yale, what with all my scholarly banter at the local gentleman’s club and discussing politics with the boys from Princeton and Columbia. I apologize that my input couldn’t have graced today’s update sooner.

59. Blayze,
You can't B.S. an Ivy League man.
You were at minature golf all day and you only left when the wind blew your ball off the windmill strike and you got cranky.
If Al Gore did, indeed, invent Doritos, then I couldn't think of a better reason to elect him. Oh, maybe just one.
Hank Kimball!

60. Aw Mo,
And BTW
I think they're still counting the ballots of the 2000 election, which Al Gore won.
Where's Lovey?
