The end of the life of extravagance and waste of billions

This was an actual headline from the website of Al-Arabiyyah (the lousy news station of King Fahd's brother-in-law).  My comment: has any ruler or any ruling family ever been more wasteful and more extravagant and more sleazy than the House of Saud?  Ever?? When their oil depletes or when they get overthrown, we will get the real pictures of their horrific records--not that we don't have a picture already.
