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.

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.

I'll bet you think the guy down the street who buys a new Mercedes is a moron and a disgusting person. You, like others, read a hit piece and believe it word for word without question. Amazing. What kind of intellectual credibility is that?
