I was looking through through the news from late yesterday and today trying to see if there was anything worth talking about when lo and behold, Mike Gravel delivers. In a big way. Mike Gravel, in case you don’t know or have forgotten, is the forgotten Democratic nominee to run for president. No one ever listens to him because at all the debates, the moderators rarely ask him a question and when they do, he comes across like a crazy ass grandfather that might be suffering from some form of mental deterioration. Despite this, I like the guy and tend to like what he says at the debates, though I don’t know how much of what he says is actually possible because I’m no expert on that stuff. I just occasionally follow politics for the senselessness of them. I’m easily entertained.
Mike Gravel decided to bless me, as well as you, with some entertainment today. You owe it to yourself to watch Mike Gravel … rapping.
It’s Super Tuesday according to MSNBC, which means they’re going to spend the day talking about politicians even though the only exciting news to come out of politics in the past day or so was that Dick Cheney had an irregular heart beat. There’s little else going on at the moment besides a comical Dancing With the Stars moment from last night that I’ll get into later, and I’ve got little to rant about this morning, so I’ll talk about Al Gore because he surprised me the other day. I watch the news obviously, so I’ve seen Al Gore, and I know he looks a lot different than he used to when he was Vice President, but it wasn’t until yesterday when he was shown in a White House photo op with other Nobel Prize winners that I realized just how much he’s changed. He’s sort of turning into a bloated zombie with a strong resemblance to Ted Kennedy. Wasn’t it just a few years ago when he had the Grizzly Adams thing going with the brown beard? I have no problem with gray hair because gray hair can look distinguished, but for some reason it just makes Gore look ancient, and he really needs to accidentally walk onto the set of a Just For Men commercial stat. For that matter, he could be for Just For Men what Bob Dole was for Viagra. A step down from his Nobel Prize work perhaps but just as Dole was a hero to the no longer functioning, Gore could be a hero to the ungraceful agers out there. A super hero even.
