That's what I wish Al Gore would say after a vicious, malicious attack on America through his speeches. You know, like a "Saturday Night Live" skit or something. He was funny on SNL, but he's not funny now. He comes off as a truly spiteful man still obsessed with the election he lost, and especially who he lost to.

 We are a free country, and the man can say whatever he wants to say, but I mean "really". Shouldn't he show even a miniscule streak of respect for America and it's leaders? Doesn't he have any loyalty for fellow countrymen in the world arena of political persona? I like the article that Kathleen Parker wrote today. She, as usual, has nailed it on the head. I'll paste a few lines of it next. It appeared nationally, but I read it in the "Orlando Sentinel" newspaper.

 No one wants this world we've inherited from the terrorists, least of all Americans who don't relish endless security checks. Nor does anyone want innocent people detained or denied access to a nation that welcomes all.

Were I an Arab-American detained for no good reason and denied my civil rights because of my ethnicity, I'd be furious. I'd raise Cain, write op-eds and maybe even file a lawsuit. And then, very quietly, I'd thank Allah that I live in the U.S., where such protests are encouraged and where a citizen can sue his own government.

However much we might wish otherwise, we're locked into this defensive mode for the foreseeable future. In the meantime, everyone is entitled to think and say what he pleases. The same free speech that permits dissent -- and controversial cartoons -- also allows fools to out themselves.

Surely even the Saudis see the true picture -- that Al Gore is a bitter politician who, sadly, seems to be one slice short of a loaf these days.

 You should really check out the whole article, she is a good read. Just go to www.orlandosentinel.com . That was my cheap endorsement to avoid copyright infringements.

 OK, just joking.

 Hey did you see who North Texas A&M hired as an assistant football coach? Take a wild guess. Ryan Leaf. That's right, the four year wonder who "stole" millions from the San Diego Chargers and retired! Freakin' retired!

 I'm no lawyer, but I'm sure that SD expected SOMETHING for their huge investment. Remember, he was chosen #2. Peyton Manning (#1) is still in the league and on his way to a "Hall of Fame" career.

 Leaf will be the QB coach and Assistant Head coach. I wonder what he brings to the table other than "early retirement strategie s"? Until next time, see ya.
