I did like the symbolism of the office with the great lord sitting at the desk and red high backed chairs for four acolytes (or as* kissers if you prefer) arrayed in front of him ready to receive their marching orders.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-60034740742258626462011-01-07T04:57:57.845-08:002011-01-07T04:57:57.845-08:00Ya'll need to go back and reread this posting....Ya'll need to go back and reread this posting. Mama says "the same state–not the same house–where President Obama, his handsome family and a coterie of Secret Service Agents spent holed up over the December holidays."<br /><br />Not even an oblique implication that the Obama's vacayed with that Korean actor fella.<br /><br />As for the proliferation of those leather folding chairs, I suspect that some government G6 assistant type was given a "black" American Express card and told to go buy furnishings for this temporary abode of the (then new) Treasury Secretary. Lacking imagination, he/she picked up a dozen or so of those chairs (along with a batch load of other ugly ass furniture) to make this house a (temporary) home for Mr. & Mrs. Paulson.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-33818404521168252512011-01-06T21:51:11.313-08:002011-01-06T21:51:11.313-08:00Mama, check out Andrew Sorkin's Too Big To Fai...Mama, check out Andrew Sorkin's <i>Too Big To Fail</i>; he's got lots of information about Pualson and explains that he's obsessive about living a modest life. The apartment in NYC was 2000 sq ft, which is tiny for a finance CEO. He's a bird-watcher and environmentalist; his single biggest expense is that he's slowly buying up a coastal island off of either SC or GA.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-54938175416129439412011-01-06T21:04:42.074-08:002011-01-06T21:04:42.074-08:00I thought I would like that house, from the floor ...I thought I would like that house, from the floor plan, but the pictures tell a different story. I thought it was hideously ugly.<br /><br />But, Mama, this was one of your better posts EVAH. Your horrified fascination with the chairs had me giggling throughout...until I hit the "bred like rats" part, which had me guffawing. I also liked the barging into the master bath part, and something at the end which I've already forgotten. But the smile remains on my face as I type this.<br /><br />Good job. Ugly house.
