The story was based on an erroneous hearing of Gore's remarks.According to a transcript provided by a representative for Gore, the former vice president said ``... we stopped at a little family restaurant in Tennessee. We were eating there by ourselves. It was a low-cost restaurant called Shoney's.''There will be no substitute story. " Too bad, I has some fun plans for that little morsel in my Dubya's Dayly Diary.

Mark is Deluded. Yes -- that's his name, Mark Delude -- no artistic license taken or needed in this one. Somehow this intellectual genius has managed to make it through 39 years of life. He was caught for "minor offenses." He was, therefore, serving time in a Vermont work camp for "nonviolent offenders." It is not clear to me whether prison "marriages" are common in his institution of residence, but the Deluded one obviously likes the place. He was just trying to get by and finish his 8 to 30 month sentence. I guess he just needed something to do on a Friday night, and the party supplies in the camp were running low. Unfortunately, having already displayed an amazing prowess for "of-fences" (hence his presence at the work camp in the first place), he managed to become confused and also have problems with plain "fences" too. Guards were de-Deluded. That's correct, he was missing. They couldn't find him anywhere on Friday night. So, the State Police were called in. They found him inside the camp fence with a case of beer and a carton of cigarettes. Seeking a better way to pass his time, the Deluded one crawled under the fence, walked over a mile to a local convenience store, and bought the goods he was caught with. He caught breaking back in to enjoy his treasure trove. His beer-run will net him an additional year or two behind bars, and a "bed" at a more "secure" (and anally-enlightened) prison. I bet he'll make a nice wife. I predict we'll be hearing more from this one in a year or two...
