Keep the Lincoln bedroom off limits.

"Do you like this hat? It makes some people angry, just the sight of it..."
This should do nicely.
How about a houseboat at the bottom of the Hudson?
And yet...
I just have two things to say about Khadafy’s ‘digs....C,4.
Perhaps the island where they stored the world trade center debris would be appropriate?
