Cheney Stayed At Uncle Tom's House >>>

Cheney Stayed At Uncle Tom's House
The Nation Tue Feb 21, 10:42 AM ET

The Nation -- Newsweek reported an interesting tidbit about Cheney's stay at the exclusive 50,000 acre preserve known as the Armstrong Ranch. It seems that the Vice-President's lodgings were in a guest quarters called "Uncle Tom's House."

A house named for a member of the Armstrong family?

I look forward to more reporting on the names of other guest houses on the vast property which Newsweek describes as "'Gosford Park' with a twang."

1. I'm surprised they didn't name it "Uncle Tom's Cabin"

5. You're right. You would think he would have stayed in the...
main mansion but then again maybe he needed some privacy;)

3. I wondered about that the first time I read it.
What are the names of the other houses on that ranch? Hmmm?

6. Well, the main house is probably called "The Big House,"
But, only by the help, I think.

What a bunch of jerks.
