Gore guzzles energy

Filed under: General, Politics, Life

So Al Gore’s home uses more electricity in a month than the average home does in a YEAR. And this is after he made the big “green” renovations to his home. He has won awards on the phony global warming kick he has been on and he uses almost twice as much energy in a month than the average person does in a year. The man is a fake and a fraud, he is in the global warming game for the money.

Worst Male-Bashing Ads

Filed under: General, Life

This is a good list of commercials that a man-bashing ads at their worst. It is infuriating when commercials portray men as complete idiots who have to be lead around by women. The truth is that many of us actually vacuum, do dishes, and help our kids with schoolwork and do other activities with our family.
