Love where you live!
Just read a "news" item regarding the Border Patrol and found it both interesting and indicative of what our nation has evolved into over the past, oh say twenty years. Are you ready for this? Okay. The Department of Homeland Security, you remember them? They're the ones "charged" with "Protecting" the nation and the citizens (so long as those citizens continue to vote for the Messiah of course). Well, the DHS developed and issued demands of compliance from all its employees with their idea of how to respond to any armed confrontation. You understand what I'm talking about here? Any gunman, anywhere. Employees, and this is directed toward Border Patrol agents, those armed, sworn law enforcement officers sworn to protect us from the invasion across the border, are now trained in their new program to "run away and hide" and "throw things". All this from the squirrel heading that pseudo-agency, you know, the deer in the headlights lady who is today's champion of the "Peter Principle". So, those agents/officers we place so much faith in to patrol the borders to act like they are enforcing the nation's immigration laws are now suppose to run away and hide or throw things at the thugs and outlaws who freely walk or drive across the border, guns ablazin' whilst we are allowed to do nothing, courtesy of, thats right, you guessed it, YOUR President and his henchmen in the Justice Dept and Dept of "Homeland Security". How's that "Hope and Change" thing working out for you?

Some homes are slow to sell even in the hottest markets
With full-fledged sellers’ markets underway in dozens of metropolitan areas around the country, new research has found curious statistical patterns emerging: Even in cities where listings get multiple offers within days or hours, significant numbers of homes are sitting on the market for six months, 12 months, or more with no takers. Among the reasons: Mispricing, excessive restrictions on access to buyers and agents, failure to clean or make repairs, and a variety of other marketing bungles. Read the full story.

Principal forgiveness could reduce costs for taxpayers
Allowing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to reduce loan balances for borrowers who owe more than their homes are worth could ultimately reduce mortgage defaults and save the government money, according to a report by the Congressional Budget Office. Read the full story.
