Friday, May 28, 2004

This is a serious holiday coming up, and not because of the Indy 500 or the unofficial opening of summer. Weâ€™ll be back with a full lineup for Tuesday, and in the best news the proudly demented Al Gore has had since the time Leninâ€™s admirer Armand Hammer helped make his family rich, Enemy Central has decided to extend the ex-veep creepâ€™s eligibility for a grand Enemy of the Week prize another week. Nothing will prevent our weekend from getting off to a glorious start, not Al Gore, not even a spot of stormy weather. Just how glorious? As we type, the view from ninth-floor windows reveals a golden rainbow ending right atop a northeast corner of the Pentagon — and a Memorial Bridge aglow in white light. Unlike an Al Gore, our capital sure can rise to the occasion.
