Al Gore announced that his vice presidential candidate is Joseph Lieberman. I didn't know much about the guy and I was reading about him - he is a very smart guy. It was reported today that senator Joseph Lieberman has written 5 books. After hearing about this George W. Bush said, "Big deal! Anyone can 'write' 5 books; It's 'reading' 5 books that's hard."

TV ratings were released last week and it turns out that 7 times more people watched the show "Survivor" than watched the Republican Convention. To make sure the same thing doesn't happen at the Democratic Convention, Al Gore says he's going to catch a lot of fish and walk around naked.

At a political event over the weekend, a woman mooned George W. Bush and the phrase "Raise the minimum wage" was written on her butt. Not surprisingly, it was in president Clinton's handwriting.

Last night when Jesse Jackson spoke at the convention, Jackson referred to the Republican Party as "the inclusion illusion." When asked what he meant by "inclusion illusion" Jackson said, "Sorry about the confusion. I think I have a contusion."

Yesterday, president Clinton flew to Michigan to meet Al Gore for the ceremonial passing of the baton. Apparently Gore took the baton from the president, then boiled it in hot water because he didn't know where it had been.

Campaign aids to Al Gore say that Al Gore has insisted on writing his entire nomination speech by himself. Which is fine with them as long as Gore lets someone else deliver it.

Yesterday, president Clinton went to McDonald's and the 18-year old woman who waited on the president refused to charge him for his sandwich. She told the president "Don't worry about it. I'll make the money back tomorrow when I file a sexually harassment suit against you."
