					<description><![CDATA[@F:&lt;i&gt;I don’t know how they missed Al Gore, but it’s still funny.&lt;/i&gt;

That was an SNL skit, Al Gore himself mooning around a prop Oval Office for &quot;West Wing&quot;. He seemed self-aware and a good sport about it. But that&#039;s the problem with politicians, they can simulate human behavior when they need to.

&lt;blockquote&gt;“I guess while you were vice president you never got to sit in it,” Sheen said. “No -- no I did not,” said Gore, who seemed reluctant to give up the seat.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

In the year 3000 he is the first Emperor of the Moon, rider of the mighty Moon Worm, and author of &quot;Harry Potter and the Balance of Earth&quot;.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I have a friend who knows an elderly (jewish) holocaust survivor. My friend tells me that said survivor is planning to move back to Germany due to TDS. Sigh. 

Part of the explanation for this idiocy is that I live in far left California Silicon Valley. I admit that I do not know the whole story, but it sounds like something that would happen here.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[What a great story!

1. IP theft by the Nazi government. No respect for the rights of the parents and, probably, copyright. 

2. The magazine did a terrible job of vetting. 

3. The joke is a great one!]]></description>
