WashPost's Chris Cillizza; "Watching Al Gore"

[AlGore-08.com]

As any loyal Fix reader knows, we continue to believe former vice president Al Gore might decide to run for president in 2008 despite his repeated assertions to the contrary.

Al Gore isn't categorically ruling out another White House run. (AP Photo)The latest piece of evidence? Gore will join Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean and former president Bill Clinton in New York City tonight for a fundraiser expected to raise $1.3 million for the national committee. Gore will also attend a VIP reception prior to the larger event.

Gore is featured on the cover of this month's "Green Issue" of Vanity Fair, which describes him as the "unlikely 'It Boy' of this year's Sundance Film Festival." Gore's quest to focus attention on the dangers of global warming is the subject of "An Inconvenient Truth," a documentary by Davis Guggenheim due out in May (along with a book by the same title).

This would actually be a re-election, if I'm not mistaken. Go for it, Al!

5. Gore is ..

.... one of a handful of Dems I could enthusiastically support. And he could win too. I'm hoping for a miracle.

9. Tao Te Ching

So every morning after I meditate I pick up my little book of Tao sayings...
This is what it said today...

When a country obtains great power
it becomes like the sea:
All streams run downward into it.
The more powerful it grows,
the greater the need for humility.
Humility means trusting the Tao,
thus never needing to be defensive.

A great nation is like a great man:
When he makes a mistake he realizes it.
Having realized it, he admits it.
Having admitted it, he corrects it.
He considers those who point out his faults
as his most benevolent teachers.
He thinks of his enemy
as the shadow he himself casts.
If a nation is centered in the Tao,
if it nourishes its own people
and doesn't meddle in the affairs of others,
it will be a light to all nations in the world.
