Tom Brady and his wife (lover? baby mama? I am not real sure) who spend a fair amount of time lecturing everyone on being good stewards of the Earth...and she is some sort of fucking Green ambassador to the UN!...are building a 20,000 square foot trophy house in Brentwood.

Now, don't get me wrong; I am all for people enjoying their money.
But much like Al Gore and The Edge, I find it rather hard to take the constant preaching about how we should all live as austerely as possible for the sake of Mother Earth, while they go off and do shit like this. Much like all the private jets, hundreds of limos with one person in them, etc etc when all the world leaders meet up at those fucking Climate Change conferences, belching carbon at a rate higher than the entire country of Ethiopia.
Hell YEA, Tom, 20,000 square feet worth of house is a pretty damn bold statement indeed on just exactly how much you and the little woman care about the Earth.
Yet another case of "for thee, but not for me," I suppose.
Kinda like the Obamas mowin' down on some ribs, greens, corn bread and sweet tea all weekend, while pushing Draconian anti-salt legislation, and constantly harping about obesity. 'Cuz I mean he WON, and all. He just makes the rules; he doesn't have to actually follow them like the peasants must.
