It's not earth shattering and won't change world history. Albert Gore, as announced by the University of Tennessee, is going to receive an honorary degree. His will be the third in the long history of that school.
The other recipients are Senator Howard Baker and Ms. Dolly Parton; very heady company, indeed. My question is, why has Davey Crockett, a citizen of the Volunteer State, not received some kind of degree? After all, he is and always will be the "King of the Wild Frontier". Besides, "he killed him a bar' when he was only three".

You young whippersnappers, anyone under the age of fifty-five, will not recognize the pictured Davy Crockett. This is Fess Parker and he played Crockett on the Disney TV Show in the 50's. I placed him on my post because I thought he was better looking than the real DC. My buddy, Jude, is a blog reader and we used to watch the show together along with another friend, "Collie". The photo will bring back memories.
Al Gore brings back memories, too. All bad.
