YES, I'm kidding. I love man elected to the presidency in 2000 just as much as you do.

Silicon Valley's richest bachelor to wed

SAN FRANCISCO, California (AP) -- Google Inc. co-founder Larry Page, whose stake in the Internet search leader is worth about $20 billion, and Lucy Southworth are getting married in a ceremony scheduled for the weekend of December 8, according to a report published Tuesday in the San Francisco Chronicle. Page, 34, is following in the footsteps of Google's other founder, Sergey Brin, who married Anne Wojcicki six months ago in an exclusive ceremony in the Caribbean. The location of Southworth's and Page's wedding was not disclosed.

After Brin's wedding, Google invested $3.9 million in Wojcicki's biotechnology startup, 23andMe Inc.

The invitation list to Page's wedding is expected to include many of Google's current and former employees, as well San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom and billionaire Richard Branson, founder of the Virgin Group.

Former Vice President Al Gore, a senior adviser at Google, told the Chronicle he has been invited to the wedding but will not be able to make it because he will be picking up the Nobel Peace Prize at a ceremony in Oslo, Norway.

1. Gore - "I Have No Plans To Attend The Wedding." nt

OK, I made that quote up.

[whistle]

2. Well, Al Gore failed to go after his 2000 presidential victory and claim what was

...rightfully his. So, until he decides to do that, or runs again Mr. Gore will remain former Vice President throughout history. That is the sad fact of the situation.

[blm]

3. I wonder why the sitting president didn't issue an executive order saying ALL votes WILL

be hand counted.

I would bet my house that if the situation was reversed a GOP president who thought his VP actually won the most votes would demand ALL votes be counted and start the process right away and use the media to make any other action look petty and obstructive.

[whistle]

6. The sitting President in 2000 was in fact Bill Clinton and he could have done that

...yet President Bill Clinton remained silent on that issue didn't he.

4. That hypocrite if flying over to Europe in a gas guzzling airplane!

If he cared about the so-called environment, he'd swim. And hug a whale on his way over.

Oh, no, wait. Wrong spin. What I mean is... This is totally a sign that he's running! :annoyinglittledancingsmilyl:

5. What about the CO2 he created flying to Stockholm

does he ONLY think about himself?? :evilgrin:

7. google is conducting anti-democracy business in china, would be bad PR for al nt

8. Hard to think of a better excuse.

Too bad it's one I'll never be able to use to beg off of an event. ;-)
