If you had 75 billion laying around?

The Editors on Copenhagen Consensus on National Review Online

I would buy up as much land as possible that's adjacent to the Clinton Library, set up a massive trailer park, and fill it with nothing but fat women in blue dresses and black berets.

Simple. I'd open a casino on an island or beach somewhere and drink a lot of alcohol.
