More Gore

Fresh from the dem-hypocrisy file comes the report that Al Gore is increasing his “carbon footprint” at an alarming rate! Actually up 10% from last year, after installing all of his energy saving bulbs, solar panels and super-efficient windows. He called that his “green overhaul” after taking heat for his monster energy needs. That worked well! His home now uses as much energy as 19 average American homes.

What all that improvements, what the heck is he increasing to more than offset the savings? Could it be that the advertised energy savings for all of that technology is not really there? No, it probably is. I tend to think it’s simply increased usage. I’d suspect the following items:

1. A climate-controlled showcase for his Nobel Prize.
2. A beefed-up security system with new hyper-sensitive detectors, installed right after he endorsed B. Hussein Obama for President. (Threatening calls from two different NY phone #’s.)
3. Even more power-assisted exercise equipment.
4. A new electronic “Carbon Monitor” which also plays DVD’s and dispenses hot and cold beverages.
5. A fully illuminated “Gore for Vice-President” banner on his front lawn.

Actually, Gore has stated that Item 5 has already been offset because he took the flood lamps from his illuminated American flag and moved them to the banner. (But since he flew it permanently at half-mast, I doubt that he used all of those lamps there.)

Anyway, I’m sure that Al would argue that all of these new toys and gadgets are really necessities, so that he can continue to promote his message that every American must do his or her part to save the planet. How can we not be inspired?
