Some animals are more equal than others.

It is kind of like communism, where everybody was supposed to be equal and have equal shares. But the ones with the guns were more apt to confiscate property from those that did not have anything.

Al Gore and his ilk are typical socialists/communists. Be a good citizen/communist and do what they say and Don't ask any questions.

Gore is gooood because he cares about you. He only wants to HELP you.

When this is over, you will be walking to work while he flies in his charter jet sipping Dom Perignon and eating caviar with Filet Mignon.

You eat cake.

The Tennessee Center for Policy Research, an independent, nonprofit and nonpartisan research organization, 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.

I wonder if maybe Gore's combined house and pool house are more or less than 20x the national house size average?

Just a thought.

Because he's a politician with no scientific training who first told us all he invented the internet, now he's a climatologist. Neither of which has any basis in fact. Actually, he's just after our money, ... the only thing green about him is the money he's sucked from his brain dead believers.

He's a politician, what do you expect. Part of his "Global Warming" or "ManBearPig" campaign is to promote himself. Ever see "An Inconvenient Truth?" Can you say propaganda?
