    <title>The  $26,000 &quot;My Dior&quot; Cellphone</title>
    <summary>--&gt;For the idiot who has everything comes the latest in unbridled extravagance: fashion house Christian Dior is set this month to launch of line of luxury cellphones costing a ridiculous amount of money. The phone will come in two versions, a &quot;basic&quot; one for $5,000, and a &quot;Lady Dior&quot; one for $26,000. The latter&apos;s pricetag is justified by 640 stones and 3,251 carats of Swarovski crystals embedded in a crocodile skin sheath. Both models will feature touchscreens, integrated media player, bluetooth, blah blah blah, but they do have one actual innovation. The phone comes with a &quot;My Dior,&quot; a USB key-sized version of the main cellphone that communicates with the mothership cellphone via Bluetooth and clips to the outside of a bag. Christian Dior says this way you don&apos;t have to go digging through your purse to find your phone. We think it would also come in handy if you don&apos;t have time to set up a full security perimeter every time you want to make a call.</summary>

Poor people are too lazy to get that third job to put their kids in private schools. Now if we cut their tax bill by $150, all would be better. Bridges crumbling is just the free market working itself out. You should know when you go on a bridge, it could collapse. Buyer beware.</p></p>]]>
