Death to America: "Eminent Domain" when used to transfer private property to other private parties
What's Drew Carey doing these days? Here's one answer — and it is pretty intelligent:

Although I don't think the trend started in California, leave it to Hollywoodland to jump right in on the fad with both feet. Keep in mind I am an ex-public servant (Parks District Board member, 4 years) and I fought eminent domain even for public works, unless public safety was involved.
Now, the Supreme Court of the land inexplicably approves of government hijacking of private property TO GIVE TO OTHER PRIVATE PARTIES, solely to generate more tax revenue, or renovate areas more to the liking of the government.
Compare/contrast the approach in Anaheim, south of L.A. in Orange County (see last half of the flick).

I think I like Drew. Although, I did have my heart set on the price is right job, but probably wouldn't have got it anyhow. And would definitely rather see Drew Carey there instead of Rosie O.

Welcome aboard!
Carey plays his "everyman" cards pretty well. I especially enjoyed the Eminent Domain article because of the nearness and dearness to my heart of the subject (subjugation of personal property to the "Greater Good" of the political machine), and I don't know anything about Drew's personal politics so that didn't impede my study of the video. I suspect, since he is from Cleveland (motto: "The Land of Flaming Waters"), AND in the entertainment biz, that he is probably a progressive/liberal; that, however, only makes it more enjoyable when I find common ground with persons not of my own political ilk.
Thanks for the comment!
