What has the public reaction to the Bush administration's decision to pass the buck on global warming for a year (a year we may not be able to spare) been? Vast silence.

While Apple's management has publicly committed itself to become a more environmentally friendly corporation, it simply may be noise and words on a page. There is no way to verify that this pledge will be implemented.

This was a week for might-have-beens and paths-not-taken. Al Gore accepted the Nobel Prize, reminding us that America's loss was Mother Earth's gain. President Bush stood in the White House and told ABC: "I doubt I'd be standing here if I hadn't quit drinking whiskey." Sobriety's gain was America's loss. And Bill Clinton told an Iowa crowd that when they were first dating, he advised Hillary to dump him. I wonder if Ron Burkle gave the same advice to Bill. And a reminder to all readers: our Bush Years posters are selling like Lawrence O'Donnell dolls at a Salt Lake City voodoo shop, so order yours today. They make great political stocking stuffers.

Gore's post election contributions are so impressive that many of the vices, rightly or wrongly, he was saddled with in his 2000 presidential bid are now the virtues that many want in the next president.
