The Answer is below the fold.

They are both owned by Microsoft co-founder and current real estate developer, Paul Allen.

And thanks for the Stimupalooza De La Porkulus, he will save enough money on his tax bill to buy a third one!

Talk about tax cuts for the rich!

(yes, that is a private minisub on the upper deck of boat #1)

I wasn’t jealous until you pointed out the mini-sub. Oh, the fun I could have with a mini-sub.

I spent an hour or so the other night talking to a pilot that does some work for Allen. Some people live in a different reality.

Awesome! I hope he does buy a third one. The boating industry (at all levels) has been taking a beating over the last few years. Think of the jobs just one of those would create or save.

Oh wait, that’s not the official Obama position, is it? I’m not supposed to like jobs created by this kind of wealth creation. I’m only supposed to like the ones saved by government contracts. Crap, I keep getting this hopechange thing all wrong.
