iPod Essentials #65: 'Money for Nothing"--Dire Straits

So Octomom and brood are getting a new house in La Habra, paid for by Grandpa. How can Grandpa afford this $559K house? Through his countless media appearances, worrying about the mental state of his daughter. Mind you, he and his wife are $23,000 behind in their current mortgage.

The whole thing disgusts me. "Money for nothing."

True, Mark Knopler of Dire Straits wrote this catchy pop song as a bit of irony. Most musicians work hard for their financial survival. But what have the Sulemans ever done other than pimp out their family problems on DR. PHIL for a buck?

As the middle class becomes extinct in this country, it's hard not to become bitter toward people like them. "Money for nothing."
