- Sen. Obama got another big endorsement yesterday as former Vice President Al Gore not only backed Obama in a speech in Michigan last night but also slammed “President” Bush by urging Americans to reject Bush’s legacy of “incompetence, negligence and failure.” (oh, what could have been in 2000... sigh)
- The Bush White House has once again skirted the law and no one seems to care. A federal judge ruled yesterday that the White House Office of Administration is not required to turn over records about a plethora of missing e-mails. Essentially this means that the White House doesn’t have to disclose documents relating to its piss-poor e-mail system that has caused millions of White House e-mails to, well, we’ll say “disappear” for now. (This is pathetic. Everything the White House does should be easily accountable… and that goes for whichever party is residing there. With their reluctance and incompetence regarding their email system, once almost gets the idea that they’re, I don’t know; hiding something. But this administration would never do that, would they?)
- There have been a lot of news stories lately regarding Bush’s legacy… though I don’t know why. He’s still (unfortunately!) in office for another seven months (eep!), and he has plenty of time to polish his image. I just don’t think it can be done… the damage is too severe.
- SCOTUS has accepted a case that will determine whether top government officials can be held personally liable for (allegedly) knowing about or condoning the mistreatment of people detained after the 9/11. Stay tuned…
- Wolf Blitzer says: “Iraq will still have an 'enormous' impact at the polls.” (Wow… great investigation there Wolf, how’d ya figure that out all by yourself?? Sheesh…)
- Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice made an unannounced visit to Lebanon yesterday and gave U.S. support for the Lebanese government's attempts to get past their political differences with the Hezbollah-led opposition.
- The NY Times has come to the self-evident point that people with their own brains saw a LONG time ago, that “McCain appears to have ceded some of his carefully cultivated reputation as a maverick” and on the primary election issues, McCain’s “stances are indeed similar to Mr. Bush’s brand of conservatism.” (Welcome to the club, we’ve got jackets)
- And have we mentioned? That in a new interview with Sky News, “President” Bush suggested something that should send a chill up everybody’s spine? He said that his family’s time in the White House may not be done, mentioning his brother, Jeb, as a future presidential contender. Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please God, make it stop!!!

Thank God we didn't get GORED or there would have been more 9\11's and gas, if available would be $10 a gallon.
The first house is 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 this residence consumes more energy than the average American household does in a year. The average monthly bill for electricity and natural gas runs over $2400. In natural gas alone, this property consumes more than 20 times the national average for an American home. This house is not situated in a Northern or Midwestern "snow belt" area. It's in the South.
The second house was designed by an architecture professor at a leading national university. This house incorporates every "green" feature current home construction can provide. The house is 4,000 square feet (4 bedrooms) and is nestled on a 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 the winter and cools it in the summer. The system uses no fossil fuels such as oil or natural gas and it consumes one-quarter 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. Surrounding flowers and shrubs native to the area enable the property to blend into the rural landscape ...
The first house is outside of Nashville, Tennessee; it is the abode of the "Environmentalist", and Nobel Peace Prize winner, Al Gore.
The second house is on a ranch near Crawford, Texas. It is the residence of the President of the United States, George W. Bush.
An "inconvenient truth". ~
And your source for this information would beeeeeeeeeeee.....
