...Gore doesn't seem so bad. In the afterglow of Philadelphia, he'd seemed stale, small and eminently unelectable; two weeks later, with Joe Lieberman and a meaty acceptance speech under his belt, Gore and his adequately presented laundry list of presidential priorities seem to have a shot at properly benefiting from a stay-the-course mindset in this prosperous age. Bush may be the unknown again now - he's left Gore room to cast him as a smiling face with a dark reactionary soul, whereas Gore, however disconcerting his sudden bust of fighting populism may be to the satisfied...
Techtopia--as some local boosters call the new-economy belt around Washington--isn't just another one of those business incubators that seem to have taken root in nearly every large American city in the morning of the 21st century. If software center Seattle is the new economy's brain and chipmaking Silicon Valley is its heart, then Washington is its central nervous system.

Settles even has a catchy name for this phenomenon: the human thermal plume. He has created a portal, similar to a walk-through metal detector, that can detect the presence of microscopic amounts of explosive material in the plume...

She told him she'd been wearing her seat belt until she put on her panty hose. Olene was the kind of person I wanted to work with...
...making is clearly relying on Lieberman's presence to invoke the sort of Old Testament avenging angel who'll rain down plagues at the first sign of moral turpitude. Conventional political wisdom may suggest that picking a religious Jew would have cost Gore among undecided voters in the Bible Belt, but that's not necessarily the case. These are End Times, after all, and Christian prophesies that accord a major role to the Jews in the apocalyptic buildup that they believe will precede the Second Coming of Christ have prompted an unprecedented enthusiasm for Israel and Jews among many conservative...
