Life imitating George Carlin
George Carlin, circa 1992:
On his album Jammin' in New York, George Carlin offers a hilarious final solution to the golf problem: Turn courses into housing for the homeless. By the comedian's estimate, golf courses occupy three million-plus acres of American real estate — room enough, he says, for "two Rhode Islands and a Delaware for the homeless." (from an article entitled "Golf War Syndrome")
Mayor of Caracas, Venezuela, circa yesterday:
Caracas Mayor Juan Barreto announced late Tuesday that the municipal government planned to seize two elite country clubs, Valle Arriba and the Caracas Country Club, and redevelop them as low-income housing projects.
The planned seizures were justified as part of [President Dipshit Hugo] Chavez's federal policy to redistribute privately owned land to the poor.
Life: No Longer Distinguishable from The Onion.
