While Al Gore’s new autobiography revealed many well-known facts about the innovator–such as inventing the Internet, inventing computer generated music (for his band, The AlGoreRhythms), inventing wind (actually, just channeling political rhetoric, the same thing)–he had one big regret.

To get a larger tax refund, Jurgen’s girl friend (now ex-girlfriend) had encouraged him to claim the interest payments on his home mortgage, even though he was almost a year in arrears on payments and about to be foreclosed on. She talked Jurgen into using the money for a Mexican vacation in Cancun, but now, with the house gone, he was looking over his shoulder wondering when the tax man was going to come and get him. . . . .
