I don't think that's it. Guest house isn't the same angle as the main house in the Statesman shot, but it is in the Google shot.

I agree, Al Gore's ridiculous energy useage looked really bad, so I'm glad that something was done about it.

Clearly Lance needs to listen to this.

Or maybe the chance to win a car will help, then he can stop having to ride his bike everywhere.

Nice aerial shot of his house next to the headline.

I really didn't need to see that - I just step out and take a look at my yard. I'm trying to be positive though and not call it brown. Instead I call it "khaki"...

Its a nice house. Not an architectural work of art but it is nice. Of course I like vanilla ice cream too. HEB (local grocery) carries a store brand that is just fantastic. Might have to treat myself to some after my ride this morning.

Why do celebrities have to be good citizens? What's the obsession with "looking up" to your heroes?

If Lance spends his cancer foundation's money for his personal, I'd be pissed, but other than that, meh.

He doesn't carry a gun. I'd feel more comfortable with him than you.

Wait, maybe this is a threat to you and your family - you should shoot him.
