and thought to spend it on something other than concert tickets, travel to shows, or say... food and shelter for the kids:

I guess firing an anti aircraft gun isn't part of the deal.

With Hillary on board, they would have to pay me the $100,000.00 to even set foot on it!

sadly, they won't even let you empty a belt or two of .50 BMG at the trash bags in the wake..

So...do you get your 100k back or not?
New York — She survived five kamikaze attacks and one torpedo, but the USS Intrepid was no match for a bit of New York City mud.
Crews called off a move of the 63-year-old aircraft carrier Monday after an armada of tugboats couldn't free the boat from its berth at Pier 86.
Officials planned to move the ship to Bayonne, N.J., to undergo an 18-month restoration as workers in New York rebuild the badly crumbling pier that the ship has called home.
The mission was scrubbed for the day at around 10:30 a.m. ET as the tide went down, said Dan Bender, a Coast Guard spokesman. There was no immediate word when the effort would resume.

So...when they finally get it out of the mud... let's see how many miles would it be from Pier 86 to Bayonne. MapQuest says it's 11.48 miles by car. At $100,000 for the ride - that's roughly $8710 per mile.
If I had $100,000 lying around, I would fill a cruise ship with BNers and cruise somewhere other than the Hudson River!

OK, hope springs eternal - I'm buying a lottery ticket today.
