Has the San Mateo county provided $173 million in services to Larry? $70 million? Have they even provided close to $1m?

Fuck the bay area fifedoms and their property taxes.

I have no sympathy for Ellison. The only reason why I think this is ok is because the County is incompetent and often gives raises to already overpaid employees. Secretaries making $100k+??? WTF!?

If I was Larry's neighbor, I'd be hitting him with a lawsuit for devaluing the 'hood with his creation of a Mutant Ninja theme park. Clearly taking a page from Wacko Jacko and his Never Never Land concoction. Just goes to show that having ridiculous amounts of money only leads to the amplification of an individual's idiosyncracies - much to the merriment of those of us who didn't luck out in the dotcom boom and so forth.

This is genius. I'm going to call the auto salvage yard and get two or three $200 junkers for my lawn. The property tax savings should pay for them in the first year, and after that it's pure profit.
