AND WHAT HAPPENED TO THE FINANCIAL RECORDS FROM SOLYNDRA THAT THE FBI CONFISCATED IN THEIR RAID THE DAY AFTER THE NEWS BROKE????
Obama White House favorite for weekly (daily?) wingdings.
From an Internet source: Filet Mignon Steak A 5 Kobe Beef 10 oz. Filet Mignon Steak Imported from Japan - A 5 Kobe Beef A5FM1001Regular price: $2,599.99.
$100,000 / $2,500 = 40 guests. What? They have a couple hundred per wingding?
(Pssst.. it's racist to talk about this.)
I saw the handbag episode. Dina Eastwood makes it very clear to Francesca her feelings about the price of the bag. To say she stood by and watched isn’t true. Francesca’s boyfriend presumably bought the bag or somehow otherwise obtained it.
>>>>$100,000 purse ???<<<<
You have to be a special type of moron to buy a $100,000 handbag
I wonder how the author spends his “disposable income”?
How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye. Luke 6:42
Would love to see them sitting around a campfire burning $100 bills, roasting hot dogs.
“....charity serving the NEEDFUL”??? I have not heard this before. When did it stop being the “needy”? Guess I am behind the times.
The bag ain’t worth hundreds of thousands...probably “worth”
200 bucks...in terms of labor, maybe the materials are
expensive cuz they’re rare, but not because they confer
any longevity or stoutness to the product...
Typical celebrity idiocy. But who is stupider, the
celebrities or the idiots who report their every
exhalation or excretion or the idiots who watch shows
or buy products associated with those celebrites?
Making compost is better than watching those celebrities
private activities.
“Mervyns”
Mervyn’s went out of business about five years ago.
I agree. The way he treated her was disgraceful. It looks like with this wife he went beyond low.
How is destroying a handbag “art?”
And how much was the value of the cars trashed during the "cash for clunkers" program? Where was this author then? Unlike this handbag stunt, that program actually destroyed goods of use to the working poor.
I think you are missing it. It was a handbag. The guy who made it got a $100,000 payoff, and then they destroyed the bag. Basically it was a $100,000 transfer payment to the maker. They could have just given him $100,000 for doing nothing and it would have been the same result. Would you find that problematic?
The Sondra Locke thing bothered me, too. He destroyed her career. He hooked up with Francis Fisher on the set of THE UNFORGIVEN. I thought he married some young t.v. weather girl after that.
Anyone who uses words like “needful” should be ignored.
Envy is evil. Using the needy as cover does not make it ok. Envy is a byproduct of excessive vanity. It matures into hate. The reason the wealthy rarely flaunt their wealth is because the envious at some point will kill them. The purpose of limousine liberalism is to pacify the envious. It is highly effective but it has its limits.
I find it funny that people are upset about a bag being destroyed. Haven’t they seen an episode of Swamp People? Where do they think Hermes bags come from?
And you’re just the guy to decide exactly what’s expected of them. Right?
Yeah, I'll believe that when I see you driving around in a '76 Pinto station wagon.
