Al Gore Joins Apple's Board Of Directors

zzxc writes "News.com.com reports that Al Gore has been chosen to be on Apple's board of directors. Apple has a press release with more information. According to the press release, 'Al brings an incredible wealth of knowledge and wisdom to Apple from having helped run the largest organization in the world--the United States government' and 'He has remained an active leader in technology--launching a public/private effort to wire every classroom and library in America to the Internet.' The inventor of the internet should be a valuable asset to Apple."

When has Algore ever run a sucessful business, sure he's been a semi-sucessful politican (Can't win the big one), but that just means you have the ability to pander to 50.001% of the population (or 270 electoral college members) voting for you.

The gayness of correction punctuation is beyond all other gayness. This is an idea and thought based forum, spelling-bees need not apply.

First, America is a continent, not a country.

Thank you for revealing a total lack of understanding in your opening statement, so readers could safely ignore the rest of your wrong-headed rant.

North America is a continent. So is South America.

America is a country. When people say "China," they usually mean "The People's Republic of China." Likewise, when people say "America," they are speaking of "The United States of America."

Please note that it's not "Some United States Which Happen To Be Located On The Continent Of North America, Except For One State Which Is A Cluster Of Islands In The Middle Of The Pacific Ocean." That's because the "A" in "USA" refers to the country's name, not the continent.

Ummm, Al Gore is a known entity to most of the US, pro-greenpeace, pro-UN, pro-censorship, pro-abortion, pro-socialism, pro-taxes, and anti-military, I don't call those "appealing to republicans" Are you stating that the democratic canidate in 2000 attempted to pull a snow job on American voters? Say it isn't so!
