You're right, that "piece of crap" was thoroghly debunked by Snopes. Never did Gore ever claim that he invented the internet.

If only people would use the correct totally ludicrous claim instead of the almost-synonymous totally ludicrous claim, we could put this one to bed.

Not synonymous. "invention" refers to development of the idea, whereas "creation" refers to the actual realization of that idea. Al Gore did indeed take some initiative toward the goal of creating the internet, which is pretty much what he said.
 
Speaking of urban legends, does Ashcroft really anoit himself with cooking oil when he is elected or appointed to public posts?
 
Ashcroft letter
It would by my pleasure to structure the announcement of this resignation and the ensuing transition in conjunction with you so that your administration and the course of justice are served optimally.

I have handwritten this letter so its confidentiality can be maintained until the appropriate arrangements mentioned above can be made.

As Jon Stewart pointed out, "Aren't the computers at the Justice Department supposed to be secure?"
 
With John Ashcroft gone, we're going miss piece's of wisdom like the following: "The underlying cause of crime in America is criminals".

This was quoted in todays Reno-Gazette Journal, in the "What They Say" column" (a series of quotes as filler on op-ed page). It didn't gave a date or context.

Two explanations:
1) John doesn't know how to use a word processor
2) Justice Department computers are being monitored for porn.
 
Ashcroft

Certainly I am glad to see Ashcroft gone. Although I am upset that Bush won the election, this guy quitting without a doubt made my day. In fact one of the reasons I voted a against Bush, was Ashcroft. I think I can struggle through 4 more years with Bush, but I am not sure I could have made it through sane with Ashcroft still there. I don't think that people really realize how scary this guy is.
This guy was more then your typical religious fanatic nutcase. He was intelligent and knew how to do some damage. And not necessarily to terrorist. How many have been convicted for 9/11 so far? I can't think of many if any.

If you look at this guys background, you can see perhaps why he has such whacky beliefs. Believe me its scary.

I think about anyone would have been better than Ashcroft, maybe even another dead guy. Hopefully, since Bush is in for another term, he won't so easily succumb to the wishes of the the Religious Right, and will make some apointments that are not whacked out by nutty belief systems. Let's hope.

May your hope now be officially crushed. Gonzales is the joker who came up with the legal excuses for torture employed at Abu Grahib. So we can look forward to four more years of embarassing and destructive Justice Department shenanigans.

Ashcroft says judges threaten national security by questioning Bush decisions
WASHINGTON - Federal judges are jeopardizing national security by issuing rulings contradictory to President Bush's decisions on America's obligations under international treaties and agreements, Attorney General John Ashcroft said Friday.

In his first remarks since his resignation was announced Tuesday, Ashcroft forcefully denounced what he called "a profoundly disturbing trend" among some judges to interfere in the president's constitutional authority to make decisions during war.

That's right. People with basic human rights are a threat to national security.

It would probably be far more convenient for the government to throw anybody they wanted into a hole (or simply kill them) without ever investigating whether they committed a crime or not, or having to publicly demonstrate that they did.

Heck, why not get rid of the whole Judicial branch of the government while we're at it. I'm sure he's resents that congress doesn't vote for every single little thing to the president wants, too.

All a president has to do is start a war to become an absolute dictator?
