There’s Nothing Wrong With Having Nice Things

Mayor-Elect Bill DiBlasio may not be moving into Gracie Mansion, so that his son can remain in his previous school, and, as a show of humility, Pope Francis has chosen to live in the Vatican guesthouse, instead of the opulent Papal apartments. I’m at a loss – I thought that becoming powerful was all about helping the less fortunate, while enjoying rent-free luxury real estate. Couldn’t our new Mayor and the Pope allow the rest of us to use their official residences, on a time-share basis?

I miss the Tsar.
