#1 My father's house has many mansions
And one or two minor expansions:
The wing built for me
Stretches right to DC
And the pull of its lunar attractions.

#2 I'm sure the folks who work at the paper mill in Bogalusa were really impressed with this argument.

#3 You just wanted to work Bogalusa into the conversation. Understandable actually.

#4 Probably wanted to use Grosse Tete, but discretion got the better of him.

#5 Wait a minute. If the house is only 36 feet wide but it has 7,316 square feet then how long is it? Oh, that's right, I have a calculator on my computer. Let's see, 7316 divided by 36 equals 203.2222222222222222222222. So for perspective, that's 67.66666666666667 yards. Not quite as long as a football field but pretty long for a house. Did I miss something?

#6 Maybe she should open a bowling alley.

#7 Actually, my first choice was Dry Prong, but I was afraid someone would view that as a microaggression.

Give the thing three stories (public rooms on the ground floor, private rooms upstairs, staff work rooms (kitchen, etc) in the basement), then recalculate.

#9 There are some cities that taxed houses based on the frontage - the width of the house. The solution was to build narrow but deep houses.

Ms Landrieu's house may be like that.

#10 I guess the stables are off to one side? Or maybe she just calls a Hansom cab?

Come, Watson, the game is afoot!

#11 Welcome to the residence. My name is Carson. Ms. Landrieu will be down shortly. Please let me take your through to the library.

#12 Three stories, OK. Then you only have a little over 20 yards. That takes her out of the bowling alley business. Poor girl.

#13 She rented a tired appaloosa
And strapped on a borrowed papoosa:
"How now, darkskinned brother!
It's me, Great White Mother,
Come back to embrace Bogalusa."

#14 The salary of Congresscritters is $174,000/year. Let me know how you become a millionaire on $174,000/year. Is this like Hillary turning $1000 into $100,000 by wise investing in cattle futures (sarc)? Democrats are just smart about other people's money and they don't pay their taxes?
