Anyone know how to reduce the size of a mpg file? I have one I want to put on YouTube, but I didn't realize I can't post anything bigger than 100 mb, and it's almost 250.

And that says a lot.

6. Thanks, Julie
Now if I could only get my Carl Levin video up on YouTube I'd be happy. I don't know how to compress it to get it down to 100 mb.

9. Fight back hard on the latest Gore smear
Edited on Tue Feb-27-07 09:14 AM by gasperc
another bullshit hacket job

the Gore's bought an older 10,000 sqft home in TN, they have been remodeling the home an making it green, their efforts have cut energy usage of the home.

It is not an average home and is also used for the Gore's business dealings.

alot more can be found at this link

From countdown with Keith Olberman:
Good talking points when the issue comes up again, the last two paragraphs are key in my opinion


So is our third story tonight outrageous hypocrisy, a minor embarrassment or a demonstration of a different kind of wind power? First, that allegedly non-partisan think tank, which just happens to have gotten its story picked up by the notorious Drudge Report today, is called the Tennessee Center for Policy Research. Twenty seven-year-old President Jason Drew Johnson, hailing from the same American Enterprise Institute that takes money from big oil, cheer-leads the war in Iraq and consistently, and now to pretty consistent laughter, downplays global warming.
That said, even a partisan think tank can get the facts straight. So the facts, last year, Gore's Tennessee property consumed almost 221,000 kilowatt hours, 20 times the national average. It cost him more than 16,300 dollars. But Johnson's press release, calling on Gore to walk the walk when it comes to home energy use, omits several other key facts. The former vice president's home has 20 rooms, including home offices for himself and his wife, as well as a guest house and special security measures.

Furthermore the Gores buy energy produced from renewable sources, such as wind and solar. Tonight, COUNTDOWN confirmed with the local utility officials that their program, called the Green Power Switch, actually costs more for the Gores, four dollars for every 150 kilowatt hours. Meaning, by our calculations, our math here, that the Gores actually chose to increase their electric bill by more 5,893 dollars, more than 50 percent, in order to minimize carbon pollution.

The utility is also telling us that some smaller homes consume energy in the same range of usage as does the one on the Gores' property. Surprise, surprise, there seems to be political subtext here...

13. I look forward to that.
I've met with some fine folks from here and other places. Many of them from my own forum :)

My husband actually has a DU account now, so perhaps you'll see his posts too. He's keeping 'warm' in DU General Discussion Politics if y'know what I mean :rofl:

Maybe I should direct him to the MI forum:)
