Al Gore's home page
After reading the official announcement in "What's new with NSCA Mosaic" I just checked out Vice President Al Gore's home page at http://www.financenet.gov/vpgore.html Interersting that except for the "This is the Vice President's Mosaic Home Page" header, it is all empty. This from the man who wants to bring us the Information superhighway. Why can't politicians stay away from stuff they don't understand? Because that would mean that they have to stay away from everything. Just another anarchist, -- Lucky Green <shamrock@netcom.com> PGP public key by finger

I would be much more frightened if they did fully understand.
Actually, what's frightened me the most about this administration is that they have half a clue; And they seem to be willing to learn, if only by making mistakes that affect the rest of us. Gore's always kept up on technical issues, but hasn't actually lived them, and that's the problem: the routine use of the technology changes your POV far more than reading the specs. -- L.

Yep..."Never attribute to malice..." and all that.

It looks like the work of a "Kristian 'Kris' Chubb", rather than Al Gore, but check out: http://www.npr.gov/ it's got several pictures of Gore (sitting at a computer with his ultra serious expression, no less), and a voice intro by him.
