I don't know what she means by this in any way shape or form.

I do know that as "President" of this web concern she spends her time making cute little tschotskes for her adopted granddaughter. The granddaughter's mother is an MD and her father is an attorney. They are Korean and invited 300 people to her first birthday party.

Money is no object.

Oddly both of the MDs in this story derive the majority of their income from Medicare patients having obtained a state subsidized education in the UC system, but see taxing the wealthy as anathema.

What about when Homer "left something" upstairs for the new owners, and we're meant to think it was something vile, but it was flowers and a card that said.

"Please love our home as much as we did."

Um, I really did tear up a bit at that. I don't think the whole episode was played for laughs, really. I agree with Everfade, it was trying to be contemporary, but yes, I also agree with you it was a downer.

But it's because we care about the characters, their dilemma- and the shelter etc-

maybe the ep. is a good way to show millions of people out there what families actually are going through, showing how awful it really is. It has to be leavened with humor, but I respect the attempt more than..just mindless entertainment we're flooded with.

(Like the dad on Family Guy being "injected with the gay gene" and becoming a prancing, lisping swish. Dear God.)
