So it has been said that the economy is in a state of HOLY CRAP. According to the Governor of New York, we have to tighten our belts all the way back to a Victorian corseted 19" - the sky is falling, we are going belly up - if we don't fix this now we are all doomed...
Why is David Patterson ordering a $21,000.00 hand-made Turkish rug for his executive residence? Perhaps expenditures such as this one in July are what put us in the position we are in today? While I realize it is very difficult for either him or his wife to get to Huck Finn's or Mooradian's, I am sure they had something of a suitable selection for him to chose from in the $200-$500 range that would have done very nicely.
Perhaps now that the cat is out of the bag, he will rethink his purchase and have his tailor make the rug into a few colorful coats for the homeless people sleeping in the park across the street.
Or perhaps he could donate it to the local food pantry so all the hungry people stopping by for a can of soup could wipe their tattered shoes on it before stepping inside.
Maybe, since it's Turkish, he could make a gift of it to the brilliant techies at RPI so they can study the dynamics and mechanics of a flying carpet that seats 10.
Since he is take, take, taking away from healthcare it could be used for a warming blanket in the surgical recovery ward.
Or cut up for bandages - since it contains color and sterilizing it would fade them, it would only be used for non-life threatening cuts to prevent infection.
Me no understand.

Seriously, he's blind.... he can't even SEE the carpet, right? He can't even properly appreciate the precision with which each teenie tiny knot is tied.
well, legally blind to be exact - he should still know braille which would let him "read" the tiny knots, but not truly appreciate them as you infer:-)
