Life in Third World America II



OK, so on Monday I saw, coming out of a vehicle elevator at 1222 22nd St. NW, a shiny black 12 passenger van with tinted windows and a government license plate. The building is adjoined on the north by the National Osteoporosis Foundation at 1232 and to the south by a building that has construction fencing around it advertising a luxurious new boutique hotel. It's been surrounded by that fence for over a year, with no construction in sight. The weeds are growing along the sidewalk and the roof is covered with, wait, an array of radio antennae! What every luxury hotel needs!

So, Googling away, lo and behold, you can easily find out that 1222 is listed as the White House Parking Garage. Gee, you'd think with all that land they could have a garage right there at the White House--wait, they probably converted the underground garage to a bunker for Dick. Aside: can you imagine the ad? Large colonial; prime location; 25 bedrooms, lots of bathrooms; great kitchen with MARBLE!; partially furnished; room for a home office, security system, NO OFF STREET PARKING. Call Laura (Let Me Make Your Home!) at 202-456-1414 ext. W or text her at LauraB@shorttimer.com. Sorry, no Blacks or Muslims...

Two more observations. Want to bet the CIA has their hardhats on in that "boutique hotel"? And, ironically, the National Osteoporosis Foundation has a lot of cracked concrete in front of it. Just a guess, but I'm thinking not enough calcium in the mix...
