I saw that too. It is rather annoying to find that people with a cause generally do not follow their own advice, that goes for people of all political affiliations, or none at all.

I'd like to know how that is even possible. I don't conserve a damn thing in my house I'd even at my worse I'd spend $2400 a year (and that's gas and electric). Granted I'm poor as sh*t, but are you telling me he lives in a house 10 times as big as mine? That's a 21,000 square foot mansion with 20 gaming computers, 20 servers, 20 laptops, 10 old computers, 30 TVs, not to mention 10 of every normal household appliance. (Just to give some perspective on this, P Diddy does have a 17,000 crib....last I knew Gore didn't invent Rap to get on this level of income)

I'm guessing a typo on the bill. The only person on the planet that needs that kind of space and equipment is Nonstop with his 3 million kids.


If we are going to talk about rape, lets talk the stock market yesterday. I lost over twice my electric bill for the year in a single day. F-me.

i know it isn't the national inquirer, but aren't some stories on that site "questionable." i used to visit that site a lot in the past and there seemed to be pretty tall tales published there. i guess you had to sift through the bs. i agree with ace, this one seems pretty far out.

let's use common sense here! if al gore isn't using common sense that's his problem.

It's so cute how you want truth and human beings to line up and walk side by side in order for truth to be relevant and valid pork.

I guess when you poked hard enough and found that Thomas Jefferson's radical ideas on abolishing slavery and work on the constitution to fend off monarchy must have been unfounded when you learned that he owned slaves.

I suppose you also would have been dismissive of Columus idea that the world was not flat had you found he had a flat map of the world in his home. I suppose that would have made the idea completely irrelevant too eh?

Ok the last 2 paragraphs were complete hyperbole based on my first sentence but they sure were fun.

So, how big is his mansion?

Is it also his office? If so, how many people work there daily?

What are the power demands of a similar ...more republican...structure?

Gore charges 150,000 a speech to talk about global warming and
now has raised it to 175,000.00 after he wins his Oscar.
I have no idea if what they are reporting is true or not.
But if and I repeat if it is does that make him someone that is using a hot topic too make him self a ton of money while ignoring the same things he preachs ?
I have nothing against capitalism but supposely he owns 4 houses and flys private jets all over the place. This is like Hugh Hefner
preaching abstinence.
Just an observation and not a condemnation as I have no idea if this stuff is true or not.

Someone tell me that the people in this clan aren't strange.

[nonstop]

Good stuff.

It's the mysterious cat-toast device. A source of unending power. Bow before the mighty buttered feline.

This illustrates the concept better:

In short. No, ABC is not good enough for me. A lot of the mainstream media pick up those kinds of stories without seriously looking into them.

I think we need to take a grain of sodium chloride with any smear story in the news, and most of the rest of the reporting too. Anyone remember the swift boat story?

That being said, I have no idea about the accuracy of the Gore story one way or another.

Just out of curiosity, has Gore commented on the reports publically? What does he have to say about it?
