Droolingcumspot has found some manners and, in an e-mail, requested (He's trying to get unbanned) that I change this post because Algore isn't really a hypocrite. Ya see, a lot of the energy he uses is green energy so it's OK for him to set a bad example and be an energy hog. Oh yeah, almost forgot. He also buys carbon offsets. More on that later. Let's look at two houses.
HOUSE # 1:
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 ALONE this mansion consumes more energy than the average American
household in an ENTIRE YEAR. The average bill for electricity and natural gas
runs over $2,400.00 per month. In natural gas alone (which last time we checked
was a fossil fuel), this property consumes more than 20 times the national
average for an American home. This house is not in a northern or Midwestern
"snow belt," either. It's in the South.
HOUSE # 2:
Designed by an architecture professor at a leading national university, this
house incorporates every "green" feature current home construction can provide.
The house contains only 4,000 square feet (4 bedrooms) and is nestled on arid
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 winter and cools
it in summer. The system uses no fossil fuels such as oil or natural gas, and
it consumes 25% of the 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. Flowers and shrubs native to the area
blend the property into the surrounding rural landscape.
HOUSE # 1 (20 room energy guzzling mansion) is outside of Nashville, Tennessee .
It is the abode of that renowned environmentalist (and filmmaker) Al Gore.
HOUSE # 2 (model eco-friendly house) is on a ranch near Crawford, Texas. Also
known as "the Texas White House," it is the private residence of the President
of the United States, George W. Bush.
So whose house is gentler on the environment? Yet another story you WON'T hear
on CNN, CBS, ABC, NBC, MSNBC or read about in the New York Times or the
Washington Post. Indeed, for Mr. Gore, it's truly "an inconvenient truth."
Now, Droolingcumspot, before you whip off that e-mail chiding me for getting my facts wrong read on so I can piss you off even more.
As far as I'm concerned, manmade global warming is one of the biggest steaming piles of bullshit fostered upon the human race since Islam (killing people who claim their religion is not peaceful since the 7th Century). It has become a religion. Anyone who could believe that since man is only responsible for 5% of carbon dioxide that we could have an effect on the climate is an idiot. I'm not even sure Algore believes his own bullshit. He certainly doesn't live as if he believes it.
As I said, manmade global warming is a religion and Algore is the high priest. Hey, he might even be the pope. Pope Algore I. Here's sumpin' cool. This religion, just like the Church during the Middle Ages, sells indulgences. They are known as carbon offsets. If you are a Hollywood liberal and you live in an energy guzzling huge carbon footprint mansion, you can get into environmental heaven by buying a carbon offset. That indulgence will pay for some sorry sucker planting some trees in Africa. Be an energy hog, sponsor some tree planting. That's how Pope Algore I can justify his huge energy wasting mansion. He's bought indulgences. Here's sumpin' else that's neat. Pope Algore I is part owner of the company that sells indulgences. Pope Algore I gets a cut. That's how the Church financed some of their building programs and it is probably how Pope Algore I is getting some of the money to finance his mansion. Where's Martin Luther when we need him?
It's not just Pope Algore I. Brother Breck Guy is building a huge mansion as well. 28,000 square feet. But his must be energy efficient. He was asked about his energy bills and he said the last one he saw was between $300 and $400 dollars. Holy crap! My house is only 2500 square feet and that's what I pay. It's a miracle!
So Algore, the snake oil salesman, is just like so many of the phony televangalists. He wants his flock to make all the sacrifices. Change their lifestyles. I heard him say that in his Power Point Presentation documentary.
Isn't that neat? You can have someone else put together a Power Point Presentation using questionalble facts, film it, and have the booger eatin' moh-rons in Hollywood give you an award.
Will Pope Algore I make any changes in his lifestyle? Will he promise to cut his energy usage? Will he curtail his flights on private jets? Will he make any sacrifices for his religion? Will he try to make a difference like he is asking his flock to do?
Are you kidding? He's Pope Algore I. The rules don't apply to him.
Update! Josh made me a Pope Algore I picture.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Update! Look what you can get on eBay.
Thanks Jay!
Posted by denny at March 28, 2007 12:39 PMwhen the pope was asked about his energy use he replied that they purchase a majority of green energy. But my concern is shouldn't he also be conserving the green energy, as that it could be used by more people. The fact that is is created from wind doesn't mean its free and there is exess. So the fact that he is using it doesn't really make him any better, he should be conserving all energy. What a dipstick.
Posted by: Greg1 on March 28, 2007 02:15 PMThe whole concept of "Carbon Offsets" is a scam.
It's not even offsets. Someone just pledges to plant a tree (or several) that should, in theory, need that much carbon to grow.
Trees don't last forever. Even ones planted by companies where Gore is a major stake and stockholder.
His "Carbon offsets" don't cost him anything. Yours will. And they're not offsets, they're merely delaying the "release of carbon".
he said the last one he saw was between $300 and $400 dollars. Holy crap! My house is only 2500 square feet and that's what I pay. It's a miracle!
It's the miracle of being a trial lawyer with a history of winning cases by channelling the dead - would you want to be the poor billing sap dealing with him, and getting sued by him?
Posted by: Unix-Jedi on March 28, 2007 03:15 PMIt's so surreal how my worlds collide on your blog: Droolingcumspot was my very first friend in high school in 1989, and now this?
I'm reeling here.
Posted by: Erica on March 28, 2007 04:45 PMMy head is gonna explode if I have to listen to that fat bloated idiot tell me how to live MY life. Walk the walk and talk the talk first you fatassed hippycrite. Not that any of his suggestions would do any good. Unless Pope Gore I plans on extinguishing the sun sometime soon, shit given the chance he probaly would. For the good of the planet and all.
Posted by: kerrcarto on March 28, 2007 05:04 PMI have a small modular house (two bedrooms, a "great room" of combined living, dining area and kitchen, one bath and an unfinished basement). The town in which I live is small, but it has its own electricity/water; my winter months bills are around $40, and the summer ones are about $30. I use very little heating oil even though I live in northern NH- about 20 minutes from Mt. Washington! If I'm at home in the day, the heat is set on 65. At night and when I'm out, it's on 58. I usually only have two lights on in the house, plus the tv and appliances. I drive a fuel efficient car (an Accord) and commute about 100 miles a day (no public transportation around here). I don't like waste and avoid using more than what I need.
Why? Because it costs less money!!
I can't tell you how many times I've been at some limosine liberal's house with the heat cranked, every light on, and their "gas guzzlers" in the garage. If people want to do that, then fine, but don't preach that global warming nonsense to me!
Posted by: AnnaD on March 28, 2007 05:11 PMWith all of the baby boomers approaching the age of death, someone better be alerted to the fact that cremation is very Planet Unfriendly because it is exceptionally polluting.
In the near future, to have potentially millions of people being cremated every day, the planet will be overwhelmed and will not be able to sustain such extensive pollution.
Damn, the heat alone from all those fires will put us over the edge with regard to Global Warming.
Burying is no better, not enough land.
So, instead of cremating your loved one, send them to SWHFTDD (Snakeoil Willie's Home for the Dearly Departed).
Here our evironmentally sennnnnnsitive "handlers" work to properly "recycle" your loved one so as to commune with nature as God always intended it to be.
The departed's "human remains" (meaning souless) will be carefully freeze-dried, de-compartmented, and arranged into three differant bite size canine treats.
By passing through the canine's "natural" system, they will be synthesized into a form that for millions of years has helped lifeforms to increase and flourish on the planet.
This new, yet simple form we like to call a DRUT.
Hell, do not be surprised if suddenly a daisy popped up out of one of these "communing with nature" DRUTs.
So, don't wait in line at the crematorium, ship your loved one off to SWHFTDD as soon as possible (or when the time is right).
Note: Anyone interested in buying stock in SWHFTDD please send your name ond address to:
So, to go about purchasing some of these offsets, who do you make the check out to? I think this would be a great scam. You could print up some really spiffy looking documents, call them carbon offsets and sell them "at a discount" on Ebay.
Praise Gore!
Dang. I was too late...

Posted by: Jay on March 28, 2007 05:38 PMOk. Here is a nugget on carbon offsets. Some Eurotrash in Denmark sells them to the new Pope of Hollywood. He then rakes his commision, and then uses the rest to plant some trees in the congo. Well, the congo forest is growing, but it is now encroaching on Kimba's farmland. Kimba says to his government, "hey I'm just a poor farmer please don't take my land." the government says "F U Kimba". Kimba now cannot feed his family. He now needs the help of Brad Pitts ONE...thanks gore. what a sham. read krauthammer for more on this.
Posted by: patrick on March 28, 2007 06:09 PMDon't forget, he owns the "carbon offset" companies as well. : /
Posted by: vetfromhell on March 28, 2007 06:24 PMWillie,
You wouldn't happen to be a majority stockholder in the Soylent Corporation, would you?
Posted by: Grumpy Old Ham on March 28, 2007 07:06 PMIf I take a crap in the forest and fertilize enough to allow a tree or a plant to grow would or could I receive a certificate that allows me to buy a Cadillac and a Land Rover? Al Gore is a living legend of plane bullshit and anyone who believes him and his ilk is just as dense as the forest that I shit in.
Posted by: gene Hall on March 28, 2007 08:30 PMHis next carbon offset needs to be in the form of a graphite bat. That might knock a little sence into his thick skull. Then again, only the bat would likely suffer from it.
Posted by: Jeremy on March 28, 2007 10:23 PMJeremy - Actually the bat needs to be applied to all of the booger eatin' moh-rons, like Droolingcumspot who actually buy into this bullshit. Pope Algore I is laughing all the way to the bank. He's another Jim Bakker.
Posted by: Denny on March 28, 2007 10:29 PMWe'd need several bats then. I figure you could break one over Glowbullgores head and not faze him. It would be like smacking a bowling ball with a tooth pick.
They suffer from ALS, acquired liberal stupidity, and there is no cure. ALS destroys 99.9% of functioning brain cells and those do not grow back. The only up side of ALS is they are generally able to work at Burger King and Target stores if, I repeat IF you can get their lazy asses to work.
That reminds me, ya think Jane still has her BK job?
She wrote me once claiming she had never worked at Macys, and in fact has held her present job for four years.
Jeremy - Then she lied on her blog. Go figger. I cannot imagine her holding any job longer than six months.
Posted by: Denny on March 28, 2007 11:26 PMShe also denied that hapilyneverafter was her blog. It was registered under the Name of Harris to an address in Minnesota near home.
She is an unconsionable liar, we both Know that. If she said it was raining, I'd still consult a weather man.
Six months? I'd hazzard she would be gone before probation was over IF the boss has a brain.
One thought that crossed my mind was that she suplemented her income as a street walker. Lets face it, some of them are pretty skanky, she'd fit right in, attitude and all.
For the truth about global warming, take a look at this video of a recent BBC program. It's over an hour, but well worth watching.

Posted by: Gerald Williams on March 29, 2007 06:30 AMJeremy.......
"Acquired liberal stupidity", I like this comment, it is the last piece of the puzzle of how raving liberal`s came to be.
Some liberals are natural......"born stupid"...... then some go to college where they acquire the stupidity needed to protect them from truth & reason.
It would seem you have discovered the evolutionary missing link.
Posted by: dudley1 on March 29, 2007 08:11 AMGore says the Earth has a fever. The problem is, Gore's enviro/ecomomic treatment for the fever is the equivalent of giving the feverous infant a massive dose of aspirin that causes the earth version of Reyes syndrome that causes brain damage and destroys his liver and ultimately kills the kid. How can any person with a single functioning brain cell believe what a dope and sanctimonious schmuck like Gore says?
Posted by: allenc on March 29, 2007 11:23 AMSo, what you folks are saying is that global warming is a myth. That the whole world is not going to dry out and blow off in a huge dust cloud. You are telling my that I can quit mowing my little half acre of lawn with a syckle and scissors and crawl back on the old John Deere. Does that mean that I can leave the rice burning piece of crap in the garage and drive the proper British motor car now and then. Maybe throw the top down on the old Cougar and enjoy the rare sun shine.
It can only be a dream for us in western Washington. If I did any of the stuff, the Church of algore people would break off from protesting the worlds greatest military at The Port of Tacoma just to hunt me down and kill me with tofu burgers.
Maybe if I send $ to algorz company, I can get drive big car credit.
By the way, I put a "Tax Accountants for Hillary" license frame on the back of my old Rolls. You should see the looks I get when I go into Seattle.
Actually Mr. Gore, the earth does not have a fever. It is just constipated and needs a laxative to get rid of you GW pieces of shit!
