[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 482949, member: 2189"] Ah come on Jones, she's making headway in realizing gov't really doesn't work so cut her some slack. I mean you have to crawl before you walk. When reality of gov't sets in, then we'll work on her about searching for facts and where to find them! :wink2: If I remember correct, at the time I think it was 60 Minutes who did a story on this and they pointed out that the property was disposed of at auction. The funny part was watching some of the, let me see how do I put this, ah non-attached property items that were sold individually. The auctioneer would stumble for words and of course everyone would then laugh and he finally gave in and just said, "what'll you give for this!" :happy-very: BTW: The Mustang Ranch is back as of a USA Today piece in August 2007'. It also gives a bit of history of the Mustang Ranch and you might want to send that urban legends link to USA Today because in the article nearly 2 years ago, they pretty much said the same thing as Moreluck did.
