Pole Dancing In The Dark

And he does it again!!!!

I received one of those annoying boycott gas stations on May 15th emails today from some jackass that sent it to possibly every distribution list in the email directory. I should probably mention that it is a huge corporation that generally frowns on misuse of the email in such a way. Instead of humiliating her publicly by selecting reply all, (I did have the itchy trigger finger to do so, but that would make me no better than her) I instead sent her link to the snopes article pretty much debunking every thing in that email.

While I was there, I clicked around a bit reading articles here and there. I love that website. Anyway, while I was there, I came across this: "Green" Houses? Classic! The man is so wily that he can be the cause of all the global warming (or so some would have you believe) and still have a more “green” house then Mr. “Inconvenient Truth” himself. And how come I never got that email? Curse you Mr. McChimpyNaziCheHaliburtonDarthRove!!!!

Now in all fairness, you have to understand that Gore has “mitigating factors” like his mansion is so overwhelmingly larger that the average home, I mean, ya have to feel for the guy – really. There is also the fact that he and Tipper work out of their mansion, so that will increase energy consumption. What exactly is it Tipper does? I honestly don’t know. I’ll check that out later. And they do try to get their energy from “green sources” and good old Al buys “carbon offsets.” Still, I wonder if he purchases enough to cover all the emissions his private jet releases in the atmosphere every time he flies out to be glad handed by his adoring public. Somehow, I highly doubt it. Hey, Al – try mass transit, like the rest of us shleps.
