They build buildings too:

Ocean Tower was to be South Padre’s newest luxury skyscraper before it started sinking during building.





BROWNSVILLE — The company that imploded the Stardust Hotel in Las Vegas, the Seattle Kingdome and the RCA Dome in Indianapolis has been hired to demolish Ocean Tower, an unfinished condominium tower that has been sinking into the sands of South Padre Island.

The 31-story building, since dubbed the “Leaning Tower of Padre,” is now the subject of a $125 million lawsuit against Raba-Kistner Consultants Inc. of San Antonio and Datum Engineering of Austin.

Ironically, the most right-wing person I've ever met, my former jerk-in-law, and a true fringe winger, graduated from Berkeley.

Being conservative does not insulate one from jerkhood.
