The article you posted is a left wing hit piece. What Brooks does with his money is his business. If I had the dough, I would hire Aerosmith for my daughters birthday, too.. Unfortunately, I had to hire Ricky the Clown.

"What Brooks does with his money is his business."

I wholeheartedly agree, provided he earned it lawfully.

Just last week my beloved came home from work and was rather perturbed. Said a fellow employee expressed her belief that no American should bring home over $50,000.00, regardless of the amount of income they earned. She said that if you bring home anything over this amount, you are a greedy person. This employee driveled through the typical liberal rant, which included the evil SUV's, the unnecessary War in Iraq, all rich people are evil, and so on. Well, my beloved could not walk away from such an arrogant statement. The two of them engaged in a passionate discussion. During the conversation this woman stated that she doesn't see ANY good reason to die for another human being. My better half informed her that she is a cynical woman who has no hope. She said that there is no hope. My beloved disagreed, and so do I.

Ricky the Clown, eh. Well, we had Fundles the Clown. And that's no joke(pun intended). Next party we'll hire Ricky.

Oh puh-leeze. Hit piece, my butt. If some moron spending $10MM on a birthday party for a 13-year-old--money made by selling gear that put our troops in harm's way--isn't news IYO, what the heck is?

If we can't set aside our own rhetoric in the face of disgusting avarice like this, we have no more intellectual credibility than liberals. It's not an indictment of capitalism to point out sickening behavior when you see it.

BTW, I wouldn't spend $10MM or $1MM on a birthday party even if I was a billionaire. It's a ridiculous waste and as horrible an example as one could EVER hope to set for a child.

So, what did you think about Jim and Tammy Bakker?
