How the fuck does Tom@FFS sell anything? (or "M.net retard of the day")

I posted something I had been told when the deal happened. Obviously I had only heard one side of the story. When I was corrected I admitted that I did not know it all. If I continued to call you all wrong, or deny that I was wrong, then I would see a problem.
I was wrong, I was corrected, then acknowledged that. I guess it's cool to continue dragging me through crap about it.

Al Gore actually lobbied for an amendment to the Kyoto Protocol to install PC Pro's on all vehicles to cool the Earth, and stop global warming. However the evil conservative neo-cons got involved and lobbied for exemptions for the big 3, and Al Gore didn't want to overburden foreign car companies, and cast them into financial ruin, which would empower the GOP to kill the earth. This will be the deciding factor in the 2008 presidential race which elects Hillary Clinton, subsequently saving the world from global warming...all thanks to the PC-Pro. What can FM say about that? No air to air intercooler ever did anything for the earth other than pollute. Looks like we know who FM is voting for this election season.

Ah yes, Al Gore, savior of the earth
But he's looking to install some solar panels, so it's all good.
[T]he Tennessee Center for Policy Research charged Monday that the gas and electric bills for the former vice president's 20-room home and pool house devoured nearly 221,000 kilowatt-hours in 2006, more than 20 times the national average of 10,656 kilowatt-hours.
....
The Center claims that Nashville Electric Services records show the Gores in 2006 averaged a monthly electricity bill of $1,359 for using 18,414 kilowatt-hours, and $1,461 per month for using 16,200 kilowatt-hours in 2005. During that time, Nashville Gas Company billed the family an average of $536 a month for the main house and $544 for the pool house in 2006, and $640 for the main house and $525 for the pool house in 2005. That averages out to be $29,268 in gas and electric bills for the Gores in 2006, $31,512 in 2005.

nothing, compared to the energy used to shuttle the president from the white house in dc to his ranch in texas.
as i understand it, marine1 shuttles him from the white house to dulles, where he boards airforce1, which is accompanied by a second 747 (which contains his armored convoy) and at least 1 fighter escort. when he lands in texas, the armored convoy takes him to the ranch. he has satellite and helicopter survilence while in route. this assuredly costs much more, each way, than whatever rediculous amount of energy his home uses per year.
