AP:

The Emmy Awards spread the wealth Sunday, honoring supporting actors in "Grey's Anatomy," "Lost," "Entourage" and "My Name is Earl."

"My own mother told me I didn't have a shot in hell at winning tonight," said Katherine Heigl of "Grey's Anatomy." "This is my dream come true. I've been doing this for 17 years."

HOUSE # 1:

A 20-room mansion (not including 8 bathrooms) heated by natural gas. Add on a pool (and a pool house) and a separate guest house all heated by gas. In ONE MONTH ALONE this mansion consumes more energy than the average American household in an ENTIRE YEAR. The average bill for electricity and natural gas runs over $2,400.00 per month. In natural gas alone (which last time we checked was a fossil fuel), this property consumes more than 20 times the national average for an American home. This house is not in a northern or Midwestern “snow belt,” either. It’s in the South.

HOUSE # 2:

Designed by an architecture professor at a leading national university, this house incorporates every “green” feature current home construction can provide. The house contains only 4,000 square feet (4 bedrooms) and is nestled on arid high prairie in the American southwest. A central closet in the house holds geothermal heat pumps drawing ground water through pipes sunk 300 feet into the ground. The water (usually 67 degrees F.) heats the house in winter and cools it in summer. The system uses no fossil fuels such as oil or natural gas, and it consumes 25% of the electricity required for a conventional heating/cooling system. Rainwater from the roof is collected and funneled into a 25,000 gallon underground cistern. Wastewater from showers, sinks and toilets goes into underground purifying tanks and then into the cistern. The collected water then irrigates the land surrounding the house. Flowers and shrubs native to the area blend the property into the surrounding rural landscape.

HOUSE #1 (20 room energy guzzling mansion) is outside of Nashville,Tennessee. It is the abode of that renowned environmentalist (and filmmaker) Al Gore.

HOUSE #2 (model eco-friendly house) is on a ranch near Crawford, Texas. Also known as “the Texas White House,” it is the private residence of the President of the United States, George W. Bush.

As former Vice President Al Gore waits to hear if he has won this year's Nobel Peace Prize for his tireless effort on climate change, a new video will air this weekend capturing Gore on a fuel-guzzling private jet!

When the topic of a blog is the wretched excesses of yet another annual orgy of self-conratulation for alleged accomplishments of no interest to the public the comments go off thread rapidly & never return within a mile of the thread. This is what makes reading the comments useful sometimes. The magic didn't happen this time. All of it, blog & comments, is a bore.

Not a Soprano fan just on principle, kind of sums up American priorities and values.

It'd be nice to see an Iraq war reality show whre we get to see the treatment of innocent Iraquis at the hands of their occupiers, the Americans. Oh well, maybe next season.

Do you really think our troops are targeting innocent people? The Iraqis we are killing are not innocent. What an idiot thing to say.

Gore got an Emmy for what? A kids' tv channel that has never been on the air. Also, Gore never received and Oscar, he just accepted it. He was not actually eligible to receive the award and had to give it back after leaving the stage.

Gore getting a standing "O" from ligerals? This is headline news? hehe. He will received the same when the Nobel Peace Prize Committe gives him the Peace Prize. Could be their last chance to slap at Bush. Gore, Trump, Paris, Pat Robertson, Jim Dobson, all these people they create a niche for themselves and make millions. What a racket.

The loser was "FREE SPEECH" ! They edited out Fields for adding God to damn, & Griffin for denying belief in God.
Why do we allow religious zealots this kind of power?

You poor, clueless schmuck. The Emmys are awards for TV, the sole source of information for most remaining Republicans. Do you watch TV? I don't, but I'll bet you do.

There are plenty of good movies. They won't be coming to your giant megaplex. Thank goodness we have a small independent theater in my town, where every single movie is a gem.

You know these Cohn-servatives have been doing a lot of crying lately.

Way to go Al.

While we hide in the Bush's, embarrassed of the patriachal pedophiles and bathroom stall banditos of the Rape-public party, which holds the White House, Al is respected everywhere on earth.

Please run AL.

If Obama/Edwards/Richardson/Kucinich wins the nomination, could he pick Al Gore as his running mate?

Why not?
