Al Gore, a one-time vice-president serving under Bill Clinton, best known as a staunch environmentalist and the self-described “inventor of the internet” – a claim Gore later repeated only in self-mockery.
The Vice President backtracked significantly on environmental issues as he pandered to middle-of-the-road voters in the run-up to the 2000 U.S. election. Ultimately Gore won the most votes overall, but lost to the Self-Proclaimed President, George Bush (see electoral college) in the aftermath of the strangest and most public vote-recount in history, in the State of Florida.
The issue was resolved by the unprecedented intervention of the greatest three-ring circus on earth, the U.S. Supreme Court. The court then held their own election for president, finding for Bush in a party-line split decision – essentially invalidating the votes of several million U.S. citizens.
Numerous investigations had contrary findings about who actually won in Florida, but no one argues the fact that Al Gore won the popular vote. Gore later repeated this fact so many times that even many of his supporters were glad to see him go.
Afterwards, Gore faded to near-invisibility, which he attempted to overcome by declining to shave, and by making the odd televised appeal to Americans about things that no one remembers anymore.
In the long run, he may be best-remembered for his slide-show (and later film) about the threat of global warming, “An Inconvenient Truth”. But then, if his predictions are correct and everything is burned to a crisp, maybe not.
Al Gore saying #1: “You win some, you lose some—and then there’s that little-known third category.”

Supports racial tension and is afraid of the Opie and Anthony show because he knows he will be put in his place. He'd rather go after the livelyhood of an old white man rather than a gangsta rapper. He does not represent the black race correctly.
Al Sharpton is a hypocrite who does not respect the first amendment.

" The Father of Algebra." (780 - 845 C.E.) Abu Abdullah Muhammad bin Musa Al-Khwarizmi was a Persian mathematician and astronomer. He wrote the famous book "Al-Kitab Al-Mukhtasar fi Hisab Al-Jabr Wa'l-Muqabala" ("The Compendious Book on Calculation by Completion and Balancing") in 830. The book offered a systematic and logical approach to solving linear and quadratic equations. This became the premise of algebra. He is also responsible for introducing the Hindu-Arabic numerals to the West, thus becoming the golden standard in global mathematics. He also refined Ptolemy's theories on geography to design the first map of the then "known world", wrote on spacial, time-mechanical devices such as the clock, astrolabe, and sundial, made a table of trigonometric functions, and geometrically interpreted the conic sections.
Sure. Newton created the calculus. Liebniz refined it. Kepler popularized it. Lambert generalized it. And Euler organized it. If it wasn't for Al-Khwarizmi, however, most people wouldn't even understand basic arithmetic.

Arabic term meaning 'The Brotherhood.' Al-Ummah is a 19 day camp which gives you the best experience of your lifetime.
We're one big family, Al-Ummah brotherhood, where we can learn to be the best that we can be.

Al Sharpton would do the world a favor by getting a real job and/or just sucking on a hose pipe.

Kind of like Al-Qaeda, but more like Timothy McVeigh.
I’m not scared of Al-Qaeda, hell I’m from Brooklyn. I’m more scared of Al-Cracker!

Al Qaeda is a loosely affiliated network of Islamic terrorist organizations, operating in the Middle East and throughout the rest of the world. The name of the organization, nominally headed by Osama bin Laden and Ayman Al Zawahiri comes from the Arabic word for "The Base". The name came from a database created by bin Laden at the end of the 1980s that contained the names of Islamic extremist fighters who fought against the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan in the 1980s. So far, the bloodiest attack perpetrated by Al Qaeda came on September 11, 2001, which precipitated the US invasion of Afghanistan and the decimation of the terror group. Prior attacks by Al Qaeda included the bombing of the USS Cole on the Gulf of Aden in 2000, the bombings of US embassies in Tanzania and Kenya in 1998, and the Khobar Towers attack in Saudi Arabia in 1996. Al Qaeda vowed worldwide jihad against the US in the early 90s, listing a number of grievances, specifically: the US presence in Saudi Arabia, the US support of Israel, as well as failing to follow the Islamic way of life.
The soldiers of the US are coming to take revenge for our dead and exterminate the Al Qaeda murderers.
