Good riddance, and now (hopefully!) we can get on our MAIN task at hand
since November 7th -- making sure we are adequately prepared to deal with
King George II -- and the sinister ambitions of resurrected Reaganbushies,
given carte blanche to turn back the clock while callow frat-boy Dubya just
goofs off, pretending to be in charge.
And, by the way, the meter on the 20-year cycle of presidential deaths
in office is now running for America's newest Jerk-in-Chief ... who may earn
his place in history, ironically, by seeming to amount to more dead than
alive, especially if made a martyr. Even more so if the act should be
committed by an embittered, fanatic DEMOCRAT -- which would settle the old
score with JFK-assassination investigastors and in other ways realize the
darkest wet dreams of ultra-right-wing Republican grey eminences ...
(Nancy Reagan should persuade George W to keep an eye on his "lucky"
stars.)

WASHINGTON (AP) - Closing his epic, 36-day court battle, Al Gore was

in politics.

congratulations once again - and finally - before telling the nation in a
televised address that he was bowing out of the bitterly disputed
presidential election.
