I'm sure you'd prefer Barney Fag as president.

A Tale of Two Houses

Here's some interesting information. You can check
this out on Snopes .com under "The Story of 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 this residence consumes more energy than
the average American household does in a year. The
average 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.

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 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 surrounding
rural landscape.

HOUSE #1 is outside of Nashville , Tennessee ; it is
the abode of the "environmentalist" Al Gore.

HOUSE #2 is on a ranch near Crawford, Texas ; it is
the residence the of the President of the United
States , George W. Bush.

An "inconvenient truth?".

Yep!

It just goes to show that Gore is a hypocrite,
and GWB is smart sensible man unfairly
demonized in the press.

Do you have any links to the design of GWB's
house?



It just goes to show that you shouldn't listen to sockpuppets or
believe the right-wing wackos.


So, in your opinion, Snopes is lies? Or only when they don't agree
with you?

You need help. Please see a shrink.



He also needs de-tox . . .
