Albertus Magnus


Image of Christ on the Tester

(Ceiling over St Cuthbert's Grave)

Durham Cathedral

This is not a reference to the German philosopher and Dominican friar. I am writing briefly about the Great Al of our own day, Albert Arnold Gore, Jr., who was announced this morning as co-recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize for his work on saving the environment.

The image above is not to liken Al Gore (the man I still recognize as the elected President of the United States, not to be confused with the impostor in the Oval Office) with a Messiah-figure. It is simply that I looked at the image this morning and it seems so full of hope and glory that I started thinking about what it would be like to have Gore officially residing in the White House, as he should have done before.

Think what it might mean to restore honor, decency, vision, and legality to our wonderful, sad country.

You can help. Draftgore.com awaits your signature.

Congratulations, Mr. Gore. Please run.
