More evidence of two Americas? The new class of nomadic urban professionals vs. entrenched urban professionals cage match!Or, perhaps, just a designer catfight?
The class struggle in America continues . . .

Those guys with the robes, headscarves and sandals are nuppies? Whodathunkit! I thought it was another OPEC meeting.Bruce Majors | May 20, 2008, 7:57am | #
Your tax dollars at work: see how the parasitical political class lives in multi-million dollar houses decorated with old lady fuddy duddy furniture. Tom Daschle's house:http://www.homevisit.com/tour/legacy/mrisTour.asp?id=4777

This reminds me of the Absolutely Fabulous episode where Edina has the minimalist friends and flashes back to their apartment with no furniture.Guy Montag | May 20, 2008, 8:53am | #
So my livingroom with a futon, recliner and a television is just fine because I do not get a fed paycheck but his is bad?Oh, wait, I work for a government services firm. Better buy more ammo to keep away the angry Cosmotarians who will be massing below my balcony any day now!

In his column from our June issue, Contributing Editor Greg Beato chronicles how high-end designers are targeting America's new class of nomadic urban professionals.When, oh when will high-end designers start targeting the New International Professionals? That's right, I want to see more fashion attention being paid to Nipples!

I concur with D.A., nipples need more high-end designer loving.A decent enough article, but I considered it rather irrelevant and out of place on this website.

Now, as gas prices and gridlock threaten to constrain us, as Minutemen and TSA officials do their best to keep the flow of human beings in check, it’s no wonder products like Casulo and the GMC Pad are so appealing.huh?
High gas prices certainly don't make constantly driving an RV around very appealing, and I don't see how immigration policy has anything to do with this.
Methinks Mr Beato is trying way too hard to be clever.

Yes, it was. He was straining harder than Wilford Brimley after downing 8 glasses of Metamucil (orange flavor).David Cross | May 20, 2008, 11:42am | #

Today's whippersnappers have it so easy. When I was in grad school, I had to puruse the department listserve for second hand furniture and then give it away when I moved. The Casulo looks awesome, and I am sure anyone headed to college would like one.J.R. | May 20, 2008, 1:03pm | #

Looks cool, very slick assembly, but 300 pounds is pretty damn heavy. Some of it looks kind of flimsy, but it is hard to tell.Bruce Majors | May 21, 2008, 10:51am | #
If you want to see the house Hillary bought back in 2000 for over $2 million with her "book advance" money (i.e. unions and lobbyists buy her log and give it to people as a Xmas fireplace stuffer), here is the link.Sandy Berger, the famous Clinton archivist kleptomaniac, is married to her realtor (a nice woman, aside from her Clintonista connections).
The HRC house backs up the vice presidential compound at the Naval Observatory, so she and Cheney share a fence. Is this as close as the old bitch is going to get to that house?
