Accompanying an excerpt from his new book, Time.com last week ran a photo gallery that included this photo of Al Gore’s office. As a board member of Apple Inc., I’m sure he gets a good deal on all of those 30-inch Apple Cinema HD Displays. However, on the Macosphere, some are wondering why, with all of that computing power, he couldn’t grasp a little better the concept of the “paperless” office.

Those who know my aversion to office paper can rightly assume I cringed when I saw the photo of Gore’s desk. All I could think was how he should have Merlin Mann come hang out with him for a few days.

Heck, I’ll be happy to ride my bike over to his house and help out.
