Fausta’s first possible post-Nobel scenario for Mr. Gore aside, I think that she’s hit on something here:
The coy former Vice-President may run for president again, may choose to stay home admiring his Oscar, Emmy, and Nobel, or may do a one-man show on Broadway, which may in turn win him a Tony award, thus outdoing Rita Moreno, who hasn’t won a Nobel Peace Prize yet.
When you think about it, the possibilities are endless for the man. So, please: tell us what award he’s going to cop next, and tell us how he’s going to go get it.
For example: I think that he should try for a Hugo. Granted, he probably can’t write for beans, but that’s easily remedied: he can go look up David Brin, drag him away from his bleg for Diebold employees to expose the Neocon Conspiracy*, and they can hack out a book together. Quality may not even matter: there’s a fair chance that the committee will give the award out of sheer gratitude that somebody’s gotten Brin writing science fiction again.
So stick ‘em in comments. The more obscure, the better, but they’ve got to be legitimate awards. The guy’s got needs, you understand?
