Tiger Woods To Design Golf Course
A recent full page ad in The Wall Street Journal (81707) described the world's #1 golfer's plans to design his first American golf course at The Cliffs near Asheville, North Carolina. Hey Tiger, if you have any trouble with extremist environmentalist in those woods, give us a call. We have dealt effectively with them before and would love to again.
Homesites range from $300,000 to more than $3 million. Well don't think we will be living on that golf course, though we hope to play it one day. And custom homes range from $700,000 to more than $5 million. William R. Shelton is the Broker-in-Charge. 866-253-7816

Presidential Candidate Mike Huckabee Plays Bass Guitar
We like Mike, left, because he is cool and conservative. On top of that he plays bass. Larry Graham is surely proud. Since we have not heard Mike play we do not know if he thumps and plucks like Larry Graham (inventor of the thump and pluck). Bill Clinton might be Elvis but Mike Huckabee is Larry Graham.
Mike Huckabee is the bass player for his band, Capital Offense. Huckabee recently won the Iowa Straw Poll and it gave his campaign renewed life. Huckwbee would clearly be a great president. Lucid and straight forward, he expresses his conservative values without hesitation and in clear tones. Huckabee is also good on global warming too.

Elvis Presley Copied Sly Stone Costumes & Sideburns
Elvis Presley was The King but Sly Stone is the Emperor. The Emperor is still rocking 30 years after The King stopped. Clearly Elvis saw Stone in concert and started copying his style. Those Vegas-style jumpsuits were right out of Sly's closet. Except for the hat. Elivs was not into hats. Stone was always into hats. Anyway, the proof is in the pictures. Look at Sly's outfit, left, and at Elvis', right. Elvis clearly copied Sly.
Elivs copied black artists during his entire career. He, like the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, was quick to credit the influence. Elvis became the coolest white entertainer by copying blacks. Elvis was Chuck Berry without the guitar licks and Little Richard without the, well, Little Richard. But El had that voice. Nobody could take that voice from him even in the end when he was struggling with weight and drugs. How in the world did Sly outlive Elvis by at least 30 years. Back in 1970 nobody would have made that bet. Presley's drug use was hidden until he died, whereas Sly showed up high (cute and popular at the time) at many venues.
