Al Gore Invented the Internet

According to pompous Al Gore, he claimed to have invented the internet! Well, I'm certainly delighted to hear that - we are forever in his debt! I have rather serious doubts about that dubious claim, however. My understanding (tho' not all that well understood) is that it was a group endeavor! Robert L.

Here! Here!, Mr. Bob! Where would we be without dear Mr. Gore? Nearly as outrageous was his winning of the nobel peace prize for his movie about global warming?? C'mon Al!!...I would love to see you do a tribute to President George Bush, Sr... Another hero of mine. Thanks Bob!

OUCH!!! You sure gave it to ole AL! I am constantly joking around at work about how he invented the internet...It seems the younger generation will believe anything they hear!!! Next thing you know, it'll be in the brainwashed history books along with our Spanish speaking founding fathers!!! (lol) Great to know u probably knew the brand names of the dolls in my poem too! Vera is a real GEM! Doll collectors are typically meticulous creatures! luv to ya, Bob! gwendolen

Al Gore was a total bore; as far as I'm concerned he should continue to snore! :)
