I’ll bet it has “insulation” so as to not suck up too much heating fuel and contribute to global warming!
John Edwards, who announced his Democratic Party bid for President in New Orleans amidst the poor black folk because he can “so relate”, is nearly done unpacking the (I’m guessing) 900 semi-trailer loads of material goods to decorate his new home in North Carolina.
Looks like he only mowed down enough trees in his clear-cut logging operation amidst what used to be a lovely forested area to satisfy the needs of a typical growing family of poor non-union and possibly illegal immigrant servants, so at least we know it’s all A-OK.

From this house, not entirely unlike the kind of houses Hillary and Bill share, or one of the many that liberal Democrat John Kerry shared with his wife(s), or those that several other liberals live in, John Edwards will best be able to live amongst the people and commune with them, notwithstanding the “No Trespassing” sign at the gate.
It is here that he will scribble speeches about man-made global warming and how people should reduce! reduce! reduce!, and how the separation between rich and poor must be eliminated, and about how the forests are God’s sacred gift and should be left intact (and which also eat up greenhouse gasses so we must plant more trees!), and about how people should pay their fair share of taxes, and stop with the nuisance lawsuits.
Edwards Home County’s Largest
By Don Carrington
RALEIGH – Presidential candidate John Edwards and his family recently moved into what county tax officials say is the most valuable home in Orange County. The house, which includes a recreational building attached to the main living quarters, also is probably the largest in the county.
The Edwards residential property will likely have the highest tax value in the county,- Orange County Tax Assessor John Smith told Carolina Journal. He estimated that the tax value will exceed $6 million when the facility is completed.
The rambling structure sits in the middle of a 102-acre estate on Old Greensboro Road west of Chapel Hill. The heavily wooded site and winding driveway ensure that the home is not visible from the road. “No Trespassing” signs discourage passersby from venturing past the gate.
Don Knight, Orange County building plans examiner, told CJ that, including the recreational building, the Edwardses’ home would be one of the largest in Orange County.
Knight approved the building plans that showed the Edwards home totaling 28,200 square feet of connected space. The main house is 10,400 square feet and has two garages. The recreation building, a red, barn-like building containing 15,600 square feet, is connected to the house by a closed-in and roofed structure of varying widths and elevations that totals 2,200 square feet.
The main house is all on one level except for a 600-square-foot bedroom and bath area above the guest garage.
The recreation building contains a basketball court, a squash court, two stages, a bedroom, kitchen, bathrooms, swimming pool, a four-story tower, and a room designated “John’s Lounge.”
Edwards was the Democratic candidate for vice president in 2004 and a former N.C. senator.
Thursday afternoon, the Edwards for President press office was unable to provide information on any additional buildings planned for the estate.
