House Of The Rising Sun

First of all, thanks to AG for keeping the top post alive.  I've been half too busy and half too depressed to pay half as much attention as this half assed blog is half worth.

But; and in any case, I was tickled by this post over at Firedoglake:

As long as the American Public now owns most of the mortgage market, and considering that Palin-McCain seem to be cratering along with the entire economy, I would like to make several Modest Proposals to the incoming Wildly Socialist Democratic Government:

1. Federal Payments directly to designers of housing.  Believe me, this is VASTLY IMPORTANT.  Come On!!!
2. Dog Houses now qualify as second homes.
3. So do cardboard boxes
4. All new suburban houses must be painted lavender.  
5. If you qualify for a credit card, you qualify for a home loan.
6. AND the same health care plan that Congressman receive.
7. Did I mention that Architects are now Federally subsidized?  
8. You CANNOT build a house beyond your primary residence until you have spent at least two years working at minimum wage.  Yes, I'm looking at you Bill Gates.
9. That counts your spouse's houses.  Yes, we are looking at YOU, John McCain.
10. I am the final arbiter or Architectural Suitability.  JUST SAY NO TO CRAPPY-ASS GREENFIELD SUBDIVISIONS, STUPID DEVELOPERS!!
11. 3 Car garages are not only stupid, they will now be subject to criminal penalties.
12. Every dollar expended in suburban development will be matched by federal funding of urban development and/or mass transit.
13. Vinyl siding and vinyl windows are hereby outlawed.
