...them. He is extraordinarily intense. If Americans decide they want a regular guy in the White House, they'll elect George W. Bush, who is also tightly wound but does a much better job of hiding it. The parade of Gore relatives was exhausting and a little pointless (news flash: Gore's brother-in-law thinks he's great). But from time to time, the real Gore did come through. During All Things Al, some of the speakers were arrayed on one of those groovy multilevel platforms the 5th Dimension once used to sing Up, Up and Away on shows...

Though Daniel concealed being a Jew, he was boisterous about being the best ballon chasseur player and about having persuaded May Qudsi to let him peek at her underpants behind closed doors...
...Flash forward. In the new film The Replacements, union members are portrayed as rich, uncaring, racist, sucker-punch-throwing goons. And the nonunion fellows who take the strikers' jobs--once they were called scabs--are ordinary Joes who are there not for the money but for the love of a job well done...
