...but I don't. Nobody's gonna believe the ship is sinking until the icy water is up to their knees.

Al Gore's house--a 20 room mansion ( not including 8 bathrooms ) heated by
natural gas. Add on a pool ( and a pool house) and a separate guest
house, all heated by gas. In one month this residence consumes more
energy than the average American household does in a year. The
average bill for electricity and natural gas runs over $2400. In
natural gas alone, this property consumes more than 20 times the
national average for an American home. This house is not situated
in a Northern or Midwester n 'snow belt' area. It's in the South.

I know. Cheap shot. But, there's just something about Gore that seems insincere to me. Like his new identity is too manufactured and contrived--a born again ecologist without the legacy of study and practice.

The again, I suppose he's better than nothing.
