oh, and by the way, it appears that melissa etheridge also won an
oscar. hey, i don't live in a ****in' cave or sumpthin'......OF
COURSE i know who melissa etheridge is. um......well, i knew the
name, anyway. becky had to play some of her stuff for me to recognize
the voice. i don't recall whether she came up on the terrific female
vocalists thread a few weeks back. she certainly should have. one of
the most distinctive and moving voices in the generally vomitous
puddle that is popular music today.

Well, well, well, . . . ah crap. Amen to the above.

Thanks to that pesky Freedom of Information Act, we discover that,
last
August alone, Gore used 22,619 kWh - more than an average American
family uses in a year.

Accepting his Oscar last week, Gore said: "It's not as hard as you
might think.
We have a long way to go but all of us can do something in our own
lives to
make a difference."

Gore is reportedly installing solar panels on the roof of his mansion.
How much
bloody electricity can one man use, for God's sake? He may have
invented the
Internet, but it now looks as if he's running the whole thing from his
house."

Well, the facts are that he does, in fact run his business from
offices in his house, as does his wife. Throw in the energy demands
for security requirements, etc. and you have a clearly above-average
electricity demand, even for a quaint little 20-room mansion.
Comparing Gore's electricity usage to an average family house is
nothing short of stupid.

Add to that the fact that Gore buys his energy (it's right there in
that FOIA thing) from "green" producers at elevated prices and buys
carbon offsets for the energy he uses, and you're left with the
inescapable fact that Mr. Gore does indeed "walk the walk" where CO2
emissions are concerned. Those who try have tried to use his utility
bill alone while obfuscating the rest of the story to paint him as
some sort of hypocrite are fundamentally dishonest IMHO.

WHOA !!! Hold on just a goddamned minute here, where in the hell
do you get off ruining a perfectly ridiculous right-wing rant with
*facts* ? Sweartagawd Joe, that kind of pathetic liberal behavior
is just what we've come to expect from the loonie left.

Even if Steven Colbert fades into oblivion, I think his one quote that
will endure will be that "reality has a well-known liberal bias." :-)

Yep, a classic line. Here's a good one:

do you get off ruining a perfectly ridiculous right-wing rant with

So let me get this straight: as long as you got the means, you can
simply _buy_ your way out of modifying your lifestyle for The
Cause? To a true leftie I would think _that_ explanation would
be just sooo right-wing. There ain't a single rational universe in
which Al Gore can claim to live a "carbon-neutral" life.

Just so you get it straight, I agree with Joe.

What possible difference can it make to anyone? You don't actually BELIEVE
that loonie left-wing "global warming" crap, do you?

Idiot.
