Right now, nobody annoys me more than Al Gore.
Why? Surely this bastion of an eco-warrior should be above insults. Acquiring as he has a kind of saint like divinity, not to mention a Nobel prize. You know Nobel, invented Dynamite, Gelignite and more seriously Balistite; a mixture of soluble nitrocellulose and nitroglycerin specifically designed so that snipers could shoot people and their rifles wouldn't give them away with the telltale smoke of gunpowder. What a nice chap.
Back to Gore. Gore... I mean even his name has a nasty edge to it.
But get this, recently he's been telling the people of the US to use less gas (petrol) and so on and so forth. In the same way that Gordon Brown told us all to stop wasting food a matter of hours before tucking into a eight course meal during the G8 summit. I digress.
No, Al Gore's greatest crime in my mind is hypocrisy.
Here's a picture of Al Gore's house, or rather the front of it. Because it's far more extensive at the back than you might imagine. 
So I've included an image taken from satellite so you can see the true extent.
But that's not the story. No, the real story is that despite Al Gore bragging he'd made extensive changes to his own home to become more eco-friendly; it still manages to burn through 191,000kWh or electricity versus a average of 15,500kWh. Keith Olbermann, who's show Countdown I like (if not always agree with) points out that the majority of the electricity comes from renewably sources.
SO WHAT!!?! That's like saying it's OK to run a 3mpg car because it runs on Vegetable Oil. Are they seriously telling us that it's impossible to get the house more efficient that TWENTY TIMES THE LOCAL AVERAGE!!?!
My other question would have to be; What the hell is he running in their?! James Bond style laser beams?!
Wait... what if Al Gore is creating Global Warming by some kind of electrically powered 'death ray'!!!
