Maybe the pictures are not that good but I feel that my bathroom looks nicer than that and is worth less than half of that.

They're perfect and deserve all of our money and rights. I've started a petition on the whitehouse.gov site that would require all of us to walk around with a government boot up our asses.

And it only took 6 years for them to uncover this. I'd like to know who signed the approval papers for this work.

A sub zero fridge in the bathroom ?

And all because it had a leak.

I have an idea..tell government to stop renovating private bathrooms and that alone will save SS and give it a surplus even !

This enormously overpriced redecoration took place in 2009. When, oh yeah, the Republicans were in power. This happened under Bush's watch and Bush chose him for the position.

So much for moral outrage.
