Gore Wins Oscar, Lights Up the Night

There’s probably a joke in here about Gore using geothermal to be self-sustaining in his energy usage…

DRUDGE REPORT FLASH 2007®: Gore’s mansion, [20-room, eight-bathroom] located in the posh Belle Meade area of Nashville, consumes more electricity every month than the average American household uses in an entire year, according to the Nashville Electric Service (NES).

Help Find Jim Gray With Web 2.0

At this point it seems unlikely that Gray will be found alive; that sounds pretty insensitive to write but the ocean is unforgiving and Gray has been missing for 7 days. That’s some very cold water at this time of year (52 degrees, if that) and a very big ocean, even with top notch survival [...]

Team Hoyt

If you don’t feel a few tears coming up as you read this father-son story and watch the video, well you just aren’t human.

This year, at ages 65 and 43, Dick and Rick finished their 24th Boston Marathon, in 5,083rd place out of more than 20,000 starters. Their best time? Two hours, 40 minutes in [...]

Fiorina calls HP scandal `very sad’

MercuryNews.com | 10/08/2006 | Fiorina calls HP scandal `very sad’:
