Hypocrite
POWER: GORE MANSION USES 20X AVERAGE HOUSEHOLD; CONSUMPTION INCREASE AFTER 'TRUTH'
Mon Feb 26 2007 17:16:14 ET
The Tennessee Center for Policy Research, an independent, nonprofit and nonpartisan research organization committed to achieving a freer, more prosperous Tennessee through free market policy solutions, issued a press release late Monday:
Last night, Al Gore’s global-warming documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, collected an Oscar for best documentary feature, but the Tennessee Center for Policy Research has found that Gore deserves a gold statue for hypocrisy.
Gore’s mansion, [20-room, eight-bathroom] located in the posh Belle Meade area of Nashville, consumes more electricity every month than the average American household uses in an entire year, according to the Nashville Electric Service (NES).
In his documentary, the former Vice President calls on Americans to conserve energy by reducing electricity consumption at home.
The average household in America consumes 10,656 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per year, according to the Department of Energy. In 2006, Gore devoured nearly 221,000 kWh—more than 20 times the national average.
Last August alone, Gore burned through 22,619 kWh—guzzling more than twice the electricity in one month than an average American family uses in an entire year. As a result of his energy consumption, Gore’s average monthly electric bill topped $1,359.
Since the release of An Inconvenient Truth, Gore’s energy consumption has increased from an average of 16,200 kWh per month in 2005, to 18,400 kWh per month in 2006.
Gore’s extravagant energy use does not stop at his electric bill. Natural gas bills for Gore’s mansion and guest house averaged $1,080 per month last year.
“As the spokesman of choice for the global warming movement, Al Gore has to be willing to walk to walk, not just talk the talk, when it comes to home energy use,” said Tennessee Center for Policy Research President Drew Johnson.
In total, Gore paid nearly $30,000 in combined electricity and natural gas bills for his Nashville estate in 2006.

What does it take to maintain six-pack abs?
My theory, as explained to my 24 year old sister at the time...
i think you have to drink a six pack of beer. at least that's my theory.
actually, i think the amount of work for anyone over the age of 22 increases exponentiallyx2 every year in order to have actual six pack abs. that means, that if it takes you 30 min of ab work per day at age 22, that it would take me, at age 29, 64 hours of ab work per day to have six pack abs. therefore, it becomes physically impossible to have sixpack abs at approximately age 27.5 and highly unfeasible at age 25. so, if you want them for another year, you'd better get in gear, you can still get them if you're willing to do 2 hours of ab work per day...

Old-timers advice
When I was younger I hated going to weddings. It seemed that all of my aunts and the grandmotherly types used to come up to me, poking me in the ribs and cackling, telling me, 'You're next.'
They stopped that shit after I started doing the same thing to them at funerals.

Please help this worthy cause...
WOULD YOU DONATE?
A driver is stuck in a traffic jam on I-35 south,
just outside of St. Paul.
Nothing is moving north or south.
Suddenly a man knocks on his window.
The driver rolls down his window and asks,
"What happened? What's the hold up?"
"Terrorists have kidnapped Hillary Clinton, Ted Kennedy,
Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and John Kerry.
They are asking for a $100 million ransom.
Otherwise, they are going to douse them with gasoline
and set them on fire. We are going from car to car,
taking up a collection."
The driver asks, "On average how much is everyone giving?"
"About a gallon"
