Earth Tones

If this was Gore's home, the wingnuts would mock him for it, too.

The wingnut noise machine is once again reaching levels normally associated with 17 year cicadas emerging from their underground burrows...I'm sure everyone stopping by here knows the reason: as Will Bunch says, "Breaking News: Al Gore Uses Electricity..."

More here, here, and at Crooks and Liars, who point out that Big Time ran up a six figure electric bill at his official residence back in 2001...that was paid for with our tax dollars.

This sort of stuff is typical, much like their screetching about those of us on the left who--gasp--actually hold investments (for the record, mine are real estate--my house--and a couple of whole life insurance policies my late father set up for me. In other words, not exactly a Wall Street playa).

Of course, IF someone like Gore actually took to--hmm, how to put it?--a lifestyle a little more earthy, these same insects would still be ear-splitting noisy, accusing him of being a "dirty hippie."

Well, fuck 'em if they can't take a joke.
