The French newspaper, Le Monde, has suggested that the appointment...

Yesterday, the European Union decided who its leaders should be following implementation of the Lisbon Treaty. Note I say the European Union and not the people of Europe, because they have no role in the process. Europe has once again become an elitist/technocrat's dream, and there is plenty of evidence of the technocrats' delight in this press conference: There is no better example of the elitism...

Funny enough, in fact, that he managed to raise a daughter who wrote for "Futurama." (Also "Saturday Night Live," but let's just forgive her for that.) Gore does pop up now and then doing cameos in various comedies -- like Thursday...
