Oh, that TV does belong to Ms. Jasper.
See my link here re: #417 reine.de.tout for the real story.

Thanks Reine. That is pathetic. The reason why many of these people are living in slums is because they spend what they have on these ghetto candy luxuries. The big screen TV, the Escalade, crushed velvet sofa, the bling.
I hate to say this but the Obama’s remind me of this. Yesterday he bought this swing set for the girls. I thought that it was a tad ostentatious. The same with the sort of restaurants they frequent. Michelle gets losbster and caviar.
It really sounds as if they are not used to anything. Or like when he did his Congressional addresss and he had to shout “where is my First Lady?”

There is something sort of Snoop Dawg goes to Washington-ish about it.
