A Story I heard today:
Ex-VP Al Gore's daughter had a house built in the Catskills. 7,000 square feet. They buried 3 2000 gallon propane tanks. It has a thousands of feet long heated driveway. It has an outside heated pool. Though the occupants are there only a small portion of the time, the driveway is heated all the time. Tipper flew in on a helicopter to view the construction.

Does the pope wear a funny hat?
On that subject, here's a guessing game:
Which of the two houses below belongs to the environmentalist?
House Number One
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 Midwestern "snow belt" area. It's in the South.
House Number Two
Designed by an architecture professor at a leading national university. This house incorporates every "green" feature current home construction can provide. The house is 4,000 square feet (4 bedrooms) and is nestled on a high prairie in the American southwest. A central closet in the house holds geothermal heat-pumps drawing ground water through pipes sunk 300 feet into the ground. The water (usually 67 degrees F.) heats the house in the winter and cools it in the summer. The system uses no fossil fuels such as oil or natural gas and it consumes one-quarter electricity required for a conventional heating/cooling system. Rainwater from the roof is collected and funneled into a 25,000 gallon underground cistern. Wastewater from showers, sinks and toilets goes into underground purifying tanks and then into the cistern. The collected water then irrigates the land surrounding the house. Surrounding flowers and shrubs native to the area enable the property to blend into the surrounding rural landscape.
Which house belongs to former President George W. Bush, and which to Al Gore? The "inconvenient truth" can be found here: http://www.snopes.com/politics/bush/house.asp
An "inconvenient truth".
Yeah! And who built the tightest house ever tested by the University of Maine at the time (198?)?
Who?
WHO?
And WHY does the pope wear that hat? You can't get chicks with a hat like that!
Is Islam a religion of peace?
Err, wait, I got that one backwards...
Are his policies hypocritical to his lifestyle? Yes! Is it wrong to own vast property and accumulate wealth? NO! *so long as it is done with honesty which is another strike against the Tin Man.
Its ovious that people like GORE just becuase he is wealthy and write book about the enviroment and makes a phonie documentry on this GLOBAL WARMING poppycock that he and his greener then thou bunch can demand we all give up our SUVs from the back seat of his AC gas guzzling 4 mpg limos or his leer jet. AL GORE #1 ENVIROMENTAL HYPOTCRIT
