Congrats Big Al

My morning routine incorporates WPLJ while showering. I nearly got soap in my eye when Patty, Scott and Todd started discussing Al Gore's Nobel Peace Prize today. I knew he was in the consideration set, but didn't think it would actually pan out.

What a year my man has had! OSCAR, EMMY and now this? Oh, if only our would/should-be Prez had the ambition to use this as a springboard to toss his hat into the Presidential Ring...

Alas, my money's on the Presidential Elect creating a new cabinet position, Secretary of the Environment, for which Big Al would be a shoe-in.

Congrats to my favorite former VP. Well earned and well deserved.

OSCARS

My favorite part of last night's uber-long (and dare I say it, a bit boring) OSCAR ceremony, other than the Gmail chat play-by-play by "Yellow Briefs," was Gore's anti-announcement egged on by Leo.

And host Ellen's observation that "There's no rhyme or reason to who's gonna win, how they figure these things out...Jennifer Hudson was on American Idol, America didn't vote for her, and yet she's here with an Oscar nomination. That's amazing, that's incredible. And then, Al Gore is here, America did vote for him...very complicated."

Kudos on the win, Al. Now about that announcement...
