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.

My plan is for my rebate check to finish paying off my truck (Ford Ranger) so I can lower my insurance to liability only. That way, I will not have the car payment and my insurance will be lower so hopefully I will be able to afford gas for it. I have adjusted my driving habits, like many people, and will continue to do so as fuel prices rise. I do not plan on buying a hybrid or alternative fuel vehicle anytime soon because it doesn’t make sense to me to have the debt of another car payment just to save money on gas.

It is about damn time. If my daughter was raped, the courts wouldn’t have to worry about debating this issue. I would go ahead and carry out the death sentence for them.

So Dell is opening their third call center in India. Part of me thinks that we are screwing Americans out of work and damaging our economy by outsourcing service and manufacturing. We are losing our edge. Another part of me says that having call centers in India allows Dell to sell PCs so cheap. It’s all about the bottom line.
