Urge to Buy...

…Burj Dubai.

This post goes out to my Platinum-Level readers who are not affected by the economic crisis. I understand your frustration and fear that the new Obama administration will usher in an era of taxes, socialism, sodomy, and the lash. Perhaps I can offer a business-friendly solution? Perhaps I can interest you in Dubai?

Let us begin with the Burj al Arab Hotel, the world’s tallest hotel and [boasted as] the only 7-Star Hotel (at least until a few new hotels open up down the street). Situated on an artificial island, the Burj al Arab takes it symbolic design from the sails of boat. To stay at the hotel, start by dropping a M-note a night, at minimum, and continue by dining at one of its unthinkably luxurious restaurants. According to this promotional video, you must arrive and depart the hotel in a Rolls Royce. The helipad at the top of the burj also acts as a dangerously stupid tennis court:



Perhaps the dessert is not your cup of Tieguanyin tea. Well, one day outing you can spend your time in the indoor winter wonderland of Ski Dubai. Then reserve a round of golf at the Tiger Woods Golf Course (Bobby Jones chose Augusta; Woods chose Dubai). Next make your way over to the Dubai Mall Aquarium in the new Dubai Mall. (How did America not put these two things together: the human fascination and/or love for shopping and looking at fish). Don’t take my word for it, see for yourself:



Not convinced yet? Perhaps owning your very own island country will do the trick? It’ll only set you back around $25-30 million. (Shotgun Sudan).



I would like to extend my special thanks to His Highness Sheikh Mohammed, for his generous support to me and my blog. Like everything else in America, it is the Middle Eastern investors who may be the ones keeping me afloat and financed in the coming years.


Your Words Thomas Jefferson:

“I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.”
Quoted in 1802
