LOL, frankie, I thought I might have struck a chord (cord?) when that post was yanked. ;-) And I'm sincerely sorry if it offended you.
Please do tell me though, where in this or other threads I've thrown barbs except in self defense? I don't want to come off that way.

Found this interesting update on Al Gore's house....I pulled 5 threads before this one and all frozen...
NASHVILLE, Tennessee (AP) -- Former Vice President Al Gore's upscale neighborhood granted the environmental activist approval Tuesday to install 33 solar panels on the roof of his mansion.
The city of Belle Meade, Tennessee, had blocked his application until new rules were approved unanimously late Tuesday, said Gore spokesman Chris Song. The city, located within metropolitan Nashville, said the panels must be placed in areas where they can't be seen by neighbors.
Gore, who starred in the documentary film "An Inconvenient Truth" about global warming, already buys enough energy from renewable energy sources such as solar, wind and methane gas to balance 100 percent of his electricity costs.
He is also upgrading the furnace, windows, and light switches, as well as installing new floor radiant heat and solar vents, to improve the home's energy standards, said Kalee Kreider, a Gore spokeswoman.
The home, bought by Gore in 2002, is more than 70 years old and illustrates the challenges of renovating an older home to conserve more energy, Kreider said.
"It's obviously easier to build a green home from the get-go," she said. "When you purchase an older home, these retrofits take a lot longer."

LOL! What does that have to do with his house renovations? Now his house basically serves as a stand-alone power generator with no carbon emissions. His previous credits went to buy equipment to provide more green energy. Good for him on that too.
Why don’t you do what you do best and go talk to his hairdresser? Maybe you can get some dirt that way?

Budman, the most hypocritical of all exposing (or at least he thinks he is)hypocricy. Amazing how there is absolutely NO hypocrisy from the right. Too bad everyone can't be that perfect.
If you could cite any failings of the cons you so dearly love and support, you might actually gain some credibility. Something which you currently have absolutely none. GWBs lack of spending vetos doesn't count as it is far too obvious.
Unfortunately, as with most loyal dittoheads, you can only recite the far-right rants you hear on the rush limpbaugh program.
Perhaps if this country is too foul for you, you should seek asylum elsewhere. "America, love it or leave it"

No, I think I'll stay -- still waiting for those on the "left" who said they would leave but haven't -- to leave.
