The Sunshine Empire

Al Gore’s speech was magnificent, if not a little jacked up. He almost seemed like he was doing an impression of Subliminal Man mixed with some Baptist preacher. It was great at times and a bit weird at times as well. Watching the stage all I can think of is George W. Bush’s elaborate stage [...]
