the bait and switch of all CAPTIONs


W is spreching: well, you may not get a finished house ... or you might have to invite the extended family to move in with you ... it's what we call economy of scale, and I know that stuff because I learned it in college ... and, I'm not even suppose to spoil things by talking about if the interest rate goes up, so just pretend I didn't say anything ...

4. "the object behind you may appear larger than in real life"
... most likely, it won't appear at all ... home ownership ... having a piece of the higher pie ... putting food on the family so we can co-exist with fish ... is your children learning? ... or ya'll really paying attention? ... the model behind you has been super-sized to make your eyes grow bigger ... you don't think you can really own a McMansion, do you? ... and, to think of the cost to ship that backdrop from one fund-raising city to another, or to have duplicates built and then knocked-down for a 15 minute appearance by yours truly, not to mention to fly me and my entourage, your tax money of course, we might have housed some of you ...

5. "So we figured we'd build like maybe a hundred or
a thousand of like these houses behind us here, and then get about 150 people to live in there--so they can learn to sleep in shifts and stuff, but . . . and here's the kick . . . we sell it to them! So it's their house! See? Course we got our lawyers working on how the payments act just like rent. And we'll make sure there's a convience store or something within a couple miles of each one. People will have to work out parking on their own . . . BUT, Hey!, there ain't nothing like owning your own home, right?"

Presidential Mystery Solved: Why Bush Is Stopping at Home Depot

Bush Rewards Generous GOP Donor with Visit to Maryland Store on Friday; Energy Bill Includes $48 Million Tax Break that Benefits the Giant Retailer
<snip>

Research by Public Citizen suggests the president’s visit is yet another way to reward the nation’s second-largest retailer for its generosity to the Bush campaign and the Republican Party. Home Depot employees and their families have given $1.5 million to the GOP since 1999, according to data provided to Public Citizen by the Center for Responsive Politics.

During that time, no candidate has benefited from Home Depot’s largesse more than Bush. The total includes $907,950 in mostly "soft money" donations to the Republican National Committee before such giving was outlawed by the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act (BCRA). So far this year, Home Depot employees and the company political action committee have contributed $31,000 to the 2004 Bush-Cheney re-election campaign.
<snip>
Buried in two small paragraphs on page 710 of the massive, stalled energy bill is a measure that would lift a tariff on Chinese-made ceiling fans sold by Home Depot. The new language was inserted during the closed-door conference committee and had never been debated by either branch of Congress. According to estimates by the Joint Committee on Taxation, suspension of the tariffs would cost the U.S. Treasury $48 million over five years. Home Depot CEO Robert Nardelli – who is making the trip up from Atlanta to appear alongside Bush – is hoping the White House will do some more arm-twisting on the energy bill to overcome a Senate filibuster that has blocked its passage.
