Condi Says "No" to the Pac 10...

Well the former presidents didn't make much news over the weekend, so that means we have to venture out to our "B" list of former diplomats.

Former Secretary of State, Condoleeza Rice, who already appeared on ATG earlier, makes a bit of news. According to Sports Biz, Condi was offered the position of Commissioner of the Pac 10 conference. She is an avid football fan and has mentioned in the past that her dream job would be holding the position of NFL Commissioner. Don't think current NFL Commish, Roger Goodell, is going release those reigns any time soon. That said, Condi has turned down the offer and is reportedly returning to teaching at Stanford University - where she previously taught. Sounds like a relaxing gig after relentlessly traveling the globe for nearly a decade trying to put out fires.

In other news, FOX News commentator/shock talker, Glenn Beck has "outed" former Vice President Al Gore as trying to create another Hitler Youth movement. What!? Hold on to your hats for a moment; let's explain - and please don't shoot the messenger. Instead of being Hitler-like and attempting to create a "superior race" (whatever that is), Beck has said that Gore is encouraging kids to become climate storm troopers to further his global warming doctrine. Apparently Gore was recently talking to a group of teens and pre-teens about how the Earth's climate is heating up and adding that they know more than their parents about it. I'm not touching this commentary with a 10,000-ft. weather balloon. But you can check out the following Glenn Beck bit on the YouTube video below. (One side note: Buffalo State College held it's annual national teach in conference on global warming over the weekend. The low temp: -6 degrees. Advice to Buffalo State: Hold this conference in the summer when it's 100 degrees warmer.)



BTW: If you missed it, former President Ronald Reagan's 98th birthday was last Friday, February 6. I know he's not alive, but you gotta say one more "Happy Birthday" to the gipper.

Okay, we here at ATG fell asleep at the wheel regarding the coverage of this juicy story about our former Attorney General, Alberto "Gonzo" Gonzales still being unemployed. According to CNN's Campbell Brown - way back on Feb. 3, it appears that Gonzo is having a bit of a problem finding employment since his days as our country's head lawman. Check out the following clip...



Ok, this next photo has nothing to do with anything - except that it's simply too good not to share: former First Lady Nancy Reagan sitting on Mr. T's lap perhaps around the holidays (Mr. T's Santa suit gives it away). This shot was probably taken back in the day when "The A Team" dominated TV on Tuesday nights. When you dig up something like this, you just gotta do the right thing and share...



Not sure we can top that gem, so we'll quit while we're somewhat ahead.
