JUNIOR MC GEE AND THE SPINNERS

Seems our friends at The Early Spin managed to get under Junior McGee’s skin.

ALGORE: HYPOCRITE

Take a look at this: Algore uses 20 times as much energy as the average American household, all the while he is lecturing the rest of us about energy consumption, that we need to radically change our lifestyles in order to save the planet.
A day after a film about his efforts to combat global warming [...]
