Last week's movie was Tombstone, and I'm going to have to call it a tie. I like Drew's quote better, but I think he misquoted it. I think the real line is "Why Ike, whatever do you mean?" The Johnny Ringo line is "Why Johnny Ringo, you look like somebody just walked over your grave." Close, but no bottle of whiskey.

The headline: Gore's Mansion Uses More Energy After 'Going Green'
Enviro-crusader Al Gore just finished up renovating his home in Tennessee to make it more eco-friendly. After spending more than $16,000 on improvements that will surely save this soon-to-be-melting planet, "the former vice president uses an average of 17,768 kWh per month — 1,638 kWh more energy per month than before the renovations."
Some perspective; according to the Energy Information Administration's website, the average American household uses 920 kilowatthours (kWh) per month. In other words, Al Gore uses 1,900% (19x) more electricity per month than the average American household. In fact, the additional amount of electricity Gore uses each month since the renovation is nearly double the amount a "normal" family uses each month.
Frankly, the High Priest of Hype wouldn't be any more hypocritical if he were actually having polar bears flown in from the Arctic and throwing them into a bear-burning stove to heat his humble abode all winter long. I've said all along that I'd be more inclined to believe the global warming hype if the people proclaiming our impending doom actually believed it.
By the way, this article over on Snopes is kind of fun, too.
