This Old House
a: Seattle ~
b: rickety old house
What: "Cities are obsolete and require way too much care and feeding for what they provide in today's socially networked world. Seattle is like a rickety old house in constant need of repair...no one has the time for such a money pit any more when you can have quite a nice lifestyle in the ring exurbs these days."

The Show Tune Town?
a: Las vegas ~
b: broadway play
What: "I always say Las Vegas is like a Broadway play. The hotels are the set, the employees are the actors, and the whole thing is designed and carefully choreographed to provide the visitor with an experience. A large part of that experience for certain segments of our business is to feel like you're at abandon in an adult playground where you can do what you want." The rest is a discussion of who and what runs Las Vegas.

a: Hillary Clinton ~
b: a caricature of a Republican
What:
"Undistinguished, hawkish, corporate, opulent, for sale-Hillary Clinton is like a caricature of a Republican. As long as she can obscure that fact from the Democratic masses, from the anti-corporate doves whose social progressivism is far more strident than her own, she will be able to maintain the illusion of the impregnable frontrunner."
