Just say Gore...

According to various newspapers: Al Gore III, 24, was driving a blue Toyota Prius about 100 miles an hour on the San Diego Freeway near the Crown Valley exit in Laguna Hills when he was pulled over by an Orange County sheriff’s deputy at about 2:15 this morning, a sheriff’s department spokesman, Jim Amormino, said.

Some random thoughts:

* Gore III should be a spokesperson for the Toyota Prius. There are many people, Rush Limbaugh included, who may be greatly surprised to hear that the Toyota Prius can go 100 miles an hour...

* Wouldn’t now be a great time for Al Gore, Jr., to launch a “Just Say No” to drugs campaign?

* I’m constantly amazed by politicians like Al Gore, Jr., trying to get their hands on the machinery of government to force the rest of us to live as they see fit, yet, they can’t even take care of business at home.

* I agree with Al Gore III—drugs should be legalized. He didn’t say so in a policy statement, but he has with his actions.

* I suppose St. Albans, Sidwell Friends, and Harvard University are all feeling proud today. Gore attended St. Albans and and graduated from Sidwell Friends, and graduated from Harvard University two years ago.

* Al Gore Jr, who says he doesn't anticipate running for president again, is quoted in the Washington Post today as saying that "I've kind of fallen out of love with politics." Al, politics fell out of love with you a long time ago...

* Even though the sheriff's department accepts personal checks and credit cards, Gore III was left in jail for more than 10 hours. That's just what would have happened to me when I was growing up, even if bail had been $20, not $20,000...

Is the SOTU over?

  Some people asked me if I watched President Biden’s State of the Union. Haha! I have seen enough of them. Not just Biden’s SOTU, but SOTUs by US presidents!  Back in 1999, I not only watched President Clinton’s SOTU, but the Cato Institute gave me the task of keeping track of all of President Clinton’s proposals and promises. Since then I have watched few SOTUs, once as a blogger at the invitation of National Public Radio. https://tinyurl.com/3dv5y452  

Volunteering at the school choice rally

Yesterday morning I volunteered at the rally for the Opportunity Scholarship Program. My, how time has flown! Six years ago I was one of the folks who was lobbying Congress to set up the program. Yesterday I met some teenagers who were in the 2 nd and 3rd grades back when we were pushing for the program. Now, some of them are big enough to whip my ass in a fight. So, yes, there is a good reason for these kids to get a quality education. Some of the school choice movement's greatest advocates and political leaders (Virginia Walden Ford, Howard Fuller, Kevin Chavous , Rep. Boehner, former education secretary Spellings, and DC Mayor for Life Marion Barry!) were there yesterday. This group was organized...I wasn't looking, but I bet they walked off the bus in 2s. * * * I had my group line up against the wall. They had a tough teacher with them, believe me, I was saving them by taking control. That was a no-nonsense lady. She wasn't even interested in small talk with me as we w
