Isn't Albert Gore a lot like Mother Teresa?

Just look at the similarities. The late Mother Teresa walked the talk and shunned extravagances, living a simple basic life while dedicating herself to helping the poor.

Then think of Mr Gore’s lifestyle. Here’s just the latest of his many sacrifices for the cause of Climate Change.. or Global Warming… or whatever he’s calling it this month.

I disagree. Just ask John Stewart, sarcasm can very effective.

How big is the carbon footprint of Al Gore's new $9M Ocean Front Villa?

In drought stricken central California, The .7M ocean-front villa sits on 1.5 lush manicured acres with a BIG swimming pool, spa and lots of flowing fountains.

The Italian-style house boasts SIX fireplaces, five bedrooms and NINE bathrooms.

Do you think Al Gore will be burning roaring fires in all six fire places, while using millions of gallons to keep his 1.5 acres lush and green?

How many bathrooms, fireplaces and acres of lush green water guzzling lawn, does an environmentalist need?

If Al Gore is so concerned about melting ice caps and sea levels, why did he buy beach front property?

Et cetera..?

The boss had to go to California and dictated a letter to his assistant. This letter was addressed to their branch office in California.
‘Dear Mr. Balzac,
Please book a hotel suite for me. The hotel should be in the business district. It should be really De-Luxe. It should have swimming pool, spa, and gym. My suite should have AC, jacuzzi, bar etc. etc. etc.’
When the boss arrived, he was taken to his hotel. The branch manager accompanies him to his room. There he was shown the swimming pool, spa, gym, jacuzzi and the bar. He was surprised to see 3 beautiful girls. He asks ‘who are they?’.
The manager replies ‘they are the 3 et ceteras you have asked for’.
Do you think this is funny?
(I put in the question to make it legal in Y!A.)

Atlanta Hotels: Romance?

I will be making a trip to the Atlanta area for my wife’s birthday and anniversary (so a romance package is the idea of the question) and I would like to find a hotel with a "luxurious" feel to it. Here is a list below for those of you who may be able to help me.

Expectations:
Jacuzzi, swimming pool, spa if possible, dining, romance package

Location:
Will be visiting Dave and Busters and the Mall of Georgia, so a convenient location will be best.

Budget:
Comfortable with spending 0-300 a night but nothing over 0 a night.

classiest restaurant in Machu Picchu
The Temple of the Sun is one of the most recognized ruins of Machu Picchu.
The Intihuatana Stone is used to measure the angle of the sun and shows when the solstices and equinoxes occur.
Located west of the main square, this sacred temple is known for its huge walls and three trapezoidal-shaped windows through which the sun’s rays would pass illuminating the "Sacred Plaza" beyond.
