Live Earth is Ridiculous



So normally, I would make fun of hippies and environmentalists at any opportunity I had, but after listening to Live Earth around the world today on Sirius.......I have to admit that this is one occasion where they've actually done something right. 100 of the world's best bands playing on all seven continents....with even a band of science researchers rockin' out on a stage set up in Antarctica. Bravo hippies...bravo environmentalists. Today I salute each and every one of you. You have staged the biggest and greatest musical event of all time....which nobody can fault you for. I can only wish that I was at the New York show....pulling up in my SUV, wearing a shirt made by a peasant in a sweat shop, and throwing all of my beer cans in the trash, as opposed to "conforming" to your recycling effort.

Keep up the good work. Peace, love, Rock N' Roll, and Global Warming.

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.
