I kind of like the thoughts of decrepit trailers with old tires on the roofs.

I have only been inside it once and it is pretty spiffy I must say.

If your party has it's way, that's where we'll all be living. In Romneyvilles. And they and their most generous contributors (Not YOU or me.) will be living in places like the castle below once again.

We've been there once before. And for most folks, IT SUCKED.

Yeah, the party of the rich would... oops that would be the left.

Nice pool. Not really all that impressive for an ex-Vice President, though. I wonder what a typical Exxon execs house looks like?

Looks more like my cousins house.

He owns a construction company, a disaster recovery business (When he isn't on vacation in Cabo or taking his daughter shopping in London.) and dabbles in commercial real estate when the market is up. Also constantly bitches about how "impossible" it is to run a business, what with all the taxes and bullshit regulations that keep him destitute and living in his Corvette.

But, hey, he's a Republican "job creator", so I just smile and nod. Don't want to upset the poor thing.

Ted Turner seems to be doing ok too. With all the federal land locked up, he's doing quite well fracking natural gas from his huge land holdings. I'm sure he's going to give all the profits to the poor folks though.

Hey, Carl. Something occured to me. The VA Regional Hospital in Richmond Virginia has a Starbucks inside.

Are all of those offices and spaces government offices? Or are there private enterprises operating there too?

I sure hope not. I'd rather he creates some jobs with it. Maybe hire more cleaning staff for one of his homes. Or pay a homeless guy to stand in line for him when he takes Hanoi Jane to Radio City.

Maybe we should stop oppressing Ted and give him another tax cut?
