The Sale of an American Landmark: The Chrysler Building

I just opened up the Drudge Report a few moments ago and was momentarily stunned to see a large picture of the building I am currently sitting in over a large, bold, red, and underlined headline. After a spasm of concern - there aren't very many positive reasons for Drudge to feature a picture of a building as a breaking news headline - I noticed the headline was less urgent than it seemed:

OIL PRIZE: ABU DHABI TO BUY CHRYSLER BUILDING

Yet another American landmark being sold.  This time, it happens to be the one I work in each day.
