A photo circulating online is purpotedly the lit up home of Al Gore. It looks like an extremely gauch Christmas display…but the following local discription is probably more accurate.
Al Gore Leaves The Light On For Ya, by Kleinheider Post Politics, Nashville Post
** Even during Earth Hour. President of the Tennessee Center For Policy Research Drew Johnson takes a Saturday drive by Al Gores during the time most environmentalists went dark: I pulled up to Als house, located in the posh Belle Meade section of Nashville, at 8:48pm right in the middle of Earth Hour. I found that the main spotlights that usually illuminate his 9,000 square foot mansion were dark, but several of the lights inside the house were on. *** In fact, most of the windows were lit by the familiar blue-ish hue indicating that floor lamps and ceiling fixtures were off, but TV screens and computer monitors were hard at work. (In other words, his house looked the way most houses look about 1:45am when their inhabitants are distractedly watching Cheaters or Chelsea Lately reruns.) *** The kicker, though, were the dozen or so floodlights grandly highlighting several trees and illuminating the driveway entrance of Gores mansion. *** I [kid] you not, my friends, the savior of the environment couldnt be bothered to turn off the gaudy lights that show off his goofy trees. **
