Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth" may have inspired many to
participate in yesterday's "Earth Hour" by switching off their lights
from 8:30 p.m. to 9 p.m., but maybe the former vice president didn't
get the memo.

Drew Johnson, the president of the Tennessee Center for Policy
Research, decided to drive by Gore's mansion in Nashville at 8:48 p.m.
and records that floodlights were on illuminating the driveway leading
up to the main quarter.

"I pulled up to Al's house, located in the posh Belle Meade section of
Nashville, at 8:48 p.m. - right in the middle of Earth Hour," he wrote
on his blog. "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."

He added: "The kicker, though, were the dozen or so floodlights
grandly highlighting several trees and illuminating the driveway
entrance of Gore's mansion. I [kid] you not, my friends, the savior of
the environment couldn't be bothered to turn off the gaudy lights that
show off his goofy trees."
