					<description><![CDATA[Finally, some reality injected into the Stormy Daniels saga.

When I lived in Baton Rouge, a couple of decades ago, $130K would get you a &quot;4 Winda Wonda&quot; house in a middle class neighborhood.  And, that was after the Bust in the Oil Patch, which depressed housing prices for a long time.  Today, it&#039;d probably get you a house in middle to lower middle class neighborhood.  It wouldn&#039;t get you anywhere near Country Club of Louisiana, a gated community.  Take out 40% for the attorney&#039;s contingency fee, and you&#039;re left enough to get a new double wide and maybe a 1/2 acre lot in the country part of East Baton Rouge Parish.

As far as reflecting on the merit of Daniels&#039; claim, it&#039;s probably less than half of the cost of defending against a harassment suit.  Throw in the timing (right before the election, when Trump had been hammering Hillary over Bill&#039;s affairs and her role in the Bimbo Eruption Squad, and his own problems with the Access Hollywood tape), there was probably a premium placed on getting a quick settlement.  But, unexpectedly, Trump won, and Stormy realized she made a bad deal.

Wonder who&#039;s paying her attorney&#039;s fees and costs now?  It&#039;s doubtful that she is -- that would take a lot of time on the pole and a whole lot of Dollar Bills slipped down her G-string.  There&#039;s a Sugar Daddy somewhere.]]></description>
