Tiger Woods buys pricey Hamptons hideout
March 18th, 2008
SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y., March 18 (UPI) — Golf great Tiger Woods has bought a 6-acre estate in Southampton, N.Y., the pricey playground at the east end of Long Island.
The price was $65 million, the New York Post reported Tuesday. For that, Woods got an exclusive address, a 13,200-square-foot mansion, a 7,200-square-foot guest house, lily pond, swimming pool, library and tennis court.
Woods already has a number of places to hang out, including an estate on Jupiter Island in Florida and a 155-foot yacht named Privacy. He is also building a palace in Dubai, next to the golf course he designed.
A source told the Post Woods almost lost the Southampton house, with a higher bid offered a few hours after he signed.
Woods’ neighbors on Gin Lane include Arthur Ochs “Punch” Sulzberger, head of the family that owns The New York Times, designer Vera Wang and developer Alfred Taubman.
“It’s one of the oldest and grandest estates on the East End,” one broker said. “As soon as something goes on the market on Gin Lane it gets snapped up quickly, even in this slowing economy.”

Republicans have more balls, and will actually block a Democratic president… :\

first off.. the author is a woman.secondly, this is a comparison of the two leading Democratic Party front runners, which is the opposite of ron paul. he is running for the GOP, and he is definitely not a ‘front runner’.. nowhere in the article were they talking about mccain or huckabee or anyone else in his party..and if you’re just trolling, you did an exceptional job..

Historically, the problem with your proposal, which HAS been implemented before, is that it creates the power to elites to disenfranchise anybody that they choose. In the south, generally blacks were not allowed to vote because they weren’t “qualified”, etc.

That’s a bad thing?

It was very informative.But I can’t help to notice that the the author left out some notable bills that Hillary introduced, some without any cosponsors.S.1898 - A bill to amend the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 to expand family and medical leave for spouses, sons, daughters, and parents of servicemembers with combat-related injuries. S.1911-A bill to amend the Safe Drinking Water ActS.2222 - A bill to require the International Trade Commission to report on the specific impact of each free trade agreement in force with respect to the United States on a sector-by-sector basis, and for other purposes.

I agree. Most of the stuff I’ve read on DailyKos seems very biased to me.

it’s not misleading at all… I think the point is that most people are seeing hype because that’s all the media organizations will report.It’s good that you did your research, I wish more people would. The problem is the “MSM” (for lack of a better term) focus on trivial, “horse race” type issues, scandals, and 10-second soundbites.I think the title will spur more people to read the article, which is a good thing.

Talk about empty rhetoric. The Europeans have been quite effective at using government to provide their citizens with excellent education and healthcare. We have been extremely effective at using our government to provide for the development of technology.Government is a tool for coercion, yes, but it’s also a medium for cooperation at a scale that is not possible in the private sector.
