Would you spend $99,000 to be in DC for the Inauguration?
Edited on Mon Nov-10-08 12:33 PM by Bertha Venation
Ritz Carlton Georgetown has an inauguration "special." They call it "affordable luxury." It includes lodging, first class airfare, luggage, and a side trip to Grand Cayman.

Anyone have any idea how $99,000 could be spent for better uses? The homeless come to mind, for starters.

3. If I get to bring 98 of my friends along for that total price,
I'd kick in my share. Otherwise, their use of "affordable" triggers my Inigo Montoya reflex...

5. wow, America's 2nd harvest could put that cash to good use!
No way would I ever spend (if I had) that kind of money on a trip like that.
