How much energy (BTUs) did it take to remove it from merry old england, transport it 5000 miles, then put it back to gether again? So much for living the Green life.
There are plenty of Vermont or Maine barns that would have been just as nice. Why did it have to be from Europe? It sounds like these two do not like American products. Perhaps that is why Kerry wanted SWISS cheese on his Philly CheeseSteak. Hi bike is made in Europe. His motorcycle is made in Europe (don't be fooled by the Harley, it was only for show). Even his wife is not American. And I further suspect that most of the condiments in his 5 or 6 or 7 homes are from overseas.

Okay, so I gather that while the farm was established in 1485, no one really knows how old the barn itself is. I get off on ghosties as much as the next overgrown boy but I imagine the Scooby Doo handbook would maintain that disassembling the structure, moving it 8,000 miles and putting it back together with extensive modifications would pretty much clear out the psychic cobwebs (unless the Idaho location happens to be on on of Stephen Kings' "ancient indian burial grounds." Nevertheless, I'd like to see what a good screenwriter could come up with (Te-RAY-zah could scare off any damn spook a la Catherine O'Hara's Delia character in Beetlejuice.

ghost ping to the list ??????

HiYa Pookie.. good work!

There is something in the turn of century aristocrats that made them want/need to bring a room / house etc back & reconstruct.

A fav "mansion " of mine is the Stan Hywet house in Akron OH.. the Goodyear people.. Sieberlings. They brought back the master bedroom.. intact.. for their master bedroom & incorporated it into the residence.

Friend send it to me in e-mail.

I'm a big fan of the people that did that kind of work. I live within an hour of Newport RI where all the summer mansions are. But the one thing about the Astors and the Vanderbilts was they did not cloak themselves in the "enviromental" movement. That to me is where the rub comes in.

[DollyCali]

I love, love, LOVE, Newport RI. The mansions, cliff walk, rugged beaches to swim, snorkel; restaurants, city walking guide,cemeteries, history. It is one of my fav US cities.

I was in OCS there "a few" years ago..

[DollyCali]

There are many "ghost stories" at Stan Hywet as well as the Newport "summer oottages"..

so many stories & research to be done.. so little time

Lunacy. Hanged himself in barn. Perhaps there's hope yet.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

There is an overwhelming urge among some Folks to be associated with "Royalty". Many seek the security of loyal "vassals", some would wear the crown.
It has always interested Me how intent much of Europe is, to this day, on preserving the concept of royalty.
We can't allow it here.
Preserving and restoring old things is fine, but drawing on their power of history, to pretend superiority and authority, is not.
A week from now, We will have a leader, or We will have a king. Only one option is right for America.

Don't you love it when lefties lecture us about the Kyota accord and driving our SUVs when these SOBs own fleets of vehicles, private jets, and multiple mansions with living rooms bigger than my whole house. I think they truly believe they're royalty and deserve to live better than us as their birthright.

I'm going to be majorly depressed if this nimrod wins.

On the other hand, it could be an ominous foreboding of what could lie ahead...

From the original film 'The Dead Zone' (Christopher Walken as Johnny Smith, Martin Sheen (ack) as 'President' Greg Stillson):

Stillson: Put your hand on the scanning screen, and you'll go down in history with me!

Five Star General: As what? The world's greatest mass murderers?

Stillson: You cowardly bast--d! You're not the voice of the people, I am the voice of the people! The people speak through me, not you! Now you put your g-d hand on that scanning screen, or I'll hack it off and put it on for you!

Stillson: The missiles are flying... Hallelujah, Hallelujah!

I can see a lunatic President Kerry behaving exactly like that, and that should scare the Hell out of any sane person.

I thought the ghastly secret about Kerry's Idaho digs was that George Soros owned the house next door?

[night reader]

Lurch should fit right in!

[MeekOneGOP]

Wow. Kind of an interesting story here. And all those hangings/suicides associated with this place.

Thanks.

[Alamo-Girl]

Thanks for the ping!

Perhaps there is.

Yeah and the really scary thing is that both Martin Sheen and Kerry really are lunatics. Kerry would probably ask Sheen to be one of his top advisers since Sheen has so much experience "playing president" in the movies.
