Convenient truth: Al and Tipper Gore separate after 40 years

There appears to be global cooling in the Gore household.

“Inconvenient Truth” creator Al Gore and Tipper, his wife of 40 years, are separating. The Gore’s are shown here in more romantic times.

Former Vice-President Al Gore and his wife, Tipper, are telling friends they "grew apart" after 40 years of marriage, and there was no illicit affair involved.

According to two longtime close associates and family friends, the Gores say they are separating amicably. Their decision came after a "long process of careful consideration," said one of the associates.

The associates said the Gores, over time, had carved out separate lives, with the former vice-president on the road frequently. One of the associates said: "Their lives had gotten more and more separated."

Which one of them will move out of their mega-mansion? Will Al be able to keep his home office shown below?

Looks a lot like how my “cave” would look if I had that much room for clutter.

I love the frog hanging on the wall.
