Metro Section: The Million Bucks Was Never in the Briefcase!

  • Note to self: personifying evil is more lucrative than previously thought. [Fishbowl DC]
  • It all depends on where you drop the furniture bombs. Being impaled by particle board seems like a bad way to go, but a little clean-up and that end table could be a great living room accent for a stylish Mosulan (Mosuler?). [Throwing Hammers]
  • “MySpace Trainwreck” or “MySpace People that Wonkette Wants to Party With,” it’s just another case of tomato-tomahto. [Ashburnite]

Buy Duke Cunningham’s Ill-Gotten Furniture

dukeauction.jpgA small sample of Duke’s crap — his apartment must’ve looked like an Opium Den..

We linked last night to the AP story on the upcoming auction of Duke Cunningham’s loot. While the article mentioned that “anyone but Cunningham can bid,” it failed to provide more specific details as to how you, the little guy, may get your piece of the spoils, and forever own a souvenir of the Age of the Lobbying Scandal. We are here to rectify that. The Duke-Stir’s riches can be yours (except the really good shit, which he pawned right before the hammer came down) — and there’s still time to register, folks.

The Treasury Department’s March 23 Public Auction in L.A. looks to be a fun one (there’s a helicopter for sale! Not Duke’s, but still — sweet!). Peruse the catalog. If you’re in the neighborhood, pick us up one of the armoires.
