Reply #92: Destiny called but got a busy signal.

So Destiny is kind of lost. She was hoping for Gore to pick her up. She's stranded by the side of a long, dark road near a solitary pay phone, and she's worried about being raped, killed, or (given Republican tendencies) killed THEN raped.

Why isn't Gore answering? Maybe he's on the Internet (and no, I won't make any jokes about it being "his" Internet) and he only has dial-up, not DSL or cable. Maybe he's reading Ain't It Cool News for reviews of his movie. Maybe he's talking to History, not Destiny, trying to arrange another book deal.

Whatever it is, Destiny is looking through her address book to see if there's anyone in the Democratic Party who is willing to give her a lift. She can't rely on Al Gore. The real question is, whoever answers, will he or she actually take her home, or abandon her by the side of the road, which happened two elections in a row?
