    I found the catch line irresistible.

    I don't take joy in seeing divorce on the more serious side.

    Al and Tipper Gore separate after 40 years

    This thread will probably have to be moved as the heat on this thread will probably climb like a hockey stick.

    Was their separation gradual or more of a hockey stick?

    That's what he gets for listening to that satanic Rock-And-Roll "music".

    So how is this of interest to anyone? Couples grow apart and decide to go separate ways. Bible-thumpers may try to tell you that it's immoral for couples to separate, but the fact is, it's no business of anyone but the couple involved. It affects nobody else if there are no young children involved. In fact, I'd say it's commendable that when the time came to separate, they did it amicably.

    I'm thinking that it's possible to enjoy the thread without getting overly political. Granted, as soon as it does, if I'm going to move it anyway I'd just as soon send it to the garbage bin rather than FHoPol.

    At least now Al can listen to his Twisted Sister albums.

    Let's say I have fantasies of making quips on current events like Jay Leno and probably fall short. :eek:

    I might agree the split would be less likely if they had spent the past eight years in the White House, but there have been only 43 Presidents.

    Again, I don't wish divorce on anyone.

    [WARNING! POLITICAL TALK AHEAD!] You see, that's the difference between Conservatives and Liberals. You get 12 Conservatives in a room, ask them a question, and you'll get one answer. Get 12 Liberals in a room, ask them the same question, and you'll get 12 answers (13 if one of the liberals is Bill Clinton). So of course The Conservatives think because ONE pundit off-handedly said one thing in passing, All Liberals agree with it and it's etched in stone in the Liberal Commandments.

    Of course, I always laugh when I hear "Liberal" and "Mainstream Media" in the same sentence, because the Mainstream Media is as liberal as the multinational corporations which own it.[/POLITICAL TALK]
