Today Land of Excess presents a “spec.” house which the online RE listing claims has “one of the best ‘price per square footage in 22101!” For those of you who don’t know, 22101 is a zip code for Republican-Nirvana-Land McLean, VA. $1,980,000 gets you garaging for 3 cars, 6 full and 2 half baths, and 6 bedrooms. And the lucky buyers gets to pretend that the more private part of their daily life occurs in something that they think is like a castle. Our reality-based selves wonder if the recent non-reality-based Republicans of the W era are so non-reality based that they think something like this is swell. Apologies to our one Republican- Leaning Reader.
