Al Gore & a "White Horse" Convention in 2008?
Far more likely is a turn to a known commodity, a "white horse," if you will. And here comes Gore, galloping onto the convention, the sword of truth in one hand and a Power Point projector in the other, ready to save the country, or maybe even the globe, and return us to sanity once more.

Appetite for destruction
The growing myth that corn is a cure-all for our energy woes is leading us toward a potentially dangerous global fight for food. While crop-based ethanol -the latest craze in alternative energy - promises a guilt-free way to keep our gas tanks full, the reality is that overuse of our agricultural resources could have consequences even more drastic than, say, being deprived of our SUVs. It could leave much of the world hungry.
