I say the man deserves more than a million bucks…

Point of order:

Al Gore did not claim to invent the internet.

Any fair review of the legislative record makes it clear that Senator Gore was an early and forceful advocate for high-speed national networks, and that he understood how this vision could lead to widespread benefits for the citizenry and for commerce in the United States.

Repeating that bit of folklore is not even funny anymore. It’s past time to be informed about it.

Was just a joke for the title.

I still say the guy deserves more than a million dollars.

Too bad he didn’t (for whatever reason) patent and then license his invention. He’d make Bill G (or the IKEA guy) look like a peasant.
