Well, first thing I have to point out is that Bohemian Grove is a place, not an organization. It's where the Bohemian Club meets. It's that 2,700-acre old-growth redwood near north of San Francisco. The Bohemian Club began back in the 1870s. Its initial members were mostly journalists.

And although I think there may be other reasons why that particular term was chosen as well, but I think the original five members, there were like three journalists, there was a merchant and there was a vintner guy who owned a vineyards, California, how surprising. None of them terribly wealthy, but they formed an exclusive men's club. Was and still is.

Nothing terribly unusual about that at the time. But it became fashionable. And as it became fashionable, more wealthy people wanted to become part of it. And the thing about getting rich guys to join your club is what do rich guys have? Money. And of course, it's one of those rich guys that bought Bohemian Grove, where now you build your... your old boy's summer camp, which is what it is.

They got cabins with goofy names. They go there. They perform skits. They dress up in costumes. True, some of those skits look like pagan human sacrifices, but it's just a skit. What's really going on there? On the one hand, you can argue, look, it's a rich guy's club. They like to get out there. The whole motto of the place is weaving spiders come not here.

So we're never going to talk about business. We just want to get out into the woods, put on some robes, burn a couple of effigies in front of the owl, have a good time. Probably get drunk a lot.
