Hey wait, Al Gore invented the internet while in office, we could at least charge a royalty for it right? The rest of the world could send us their goods and money for using our invention and we abolish taxes for all US citizens and live a life of leisure!

All hail Al Gore!

NEW YORK — Al Gore may have been lampooned for taking credit in the Internet's development, but organizers of the Webby Awards for online achievements don't find it funny at all. In part to "set the record straight," they will give Gore a lifetime achievement award for three decades of contributions to the Internet, said Tiffany Shlain, the awards' founder and chairwoman...............................But after joining Congress eight years later, he promoted high-speed telecommunications for economic growth and supported funding increases for the then-fledging network, according to the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences, which presents the annual awards.
