http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/45532559/ Now lots of minorities can get that coveted degree in puppetry and take that class at Georgetown about Jay-Z's life. And then join OWS when they graduate, of course.

I did it, Tom. Im STILL renting becuase like I said earlier....layout out massive montly payments for little value just didnt make sense for us. So I continue to rent. Not thrilled about it, but Im in a nice renovated house in a good neighborhood and we continue to scan the online listings for a house that works for us, financially and otherwise. Im dumb...but maybe not so dumb. By the way, thanks for the clarification on officer vs broker, above. Good thread.

I dont know....how much responsiblity does the broker really have to tell the idiots that took loans that would require 75% of their income to cover each month that they are !@#$ing nuts? Plus, there is this....lets say a broker really did stop making loans or tried to talk couples out of bad loans. Black couples.Im thinking the result wouldnt be pretty.

Same thing here....people were getting ARMs or interest only loans on original three bedroom capes on 50X100 lots in so-so neighborhoods for half a million. I didnt buy becuase to me, it made no sense. Im no genius (shut up, Tom) but still could see it just didnt wash. I just looked at the homes and said "NO WAY is this worth 3,500/month....NO WAY." But a lot of people bought under these conditions and are now shocked at the situation they are in. As are the lenders and the govt, too.

This is a very good post. To simplify it....everyone KNEW there was a bubble. I was looking at houses a lot during this time. NOT ONE realtor or mortgage guy failed to mention "the bubble we are in" and how one day it was going to all go away. EVERYONE knew what was going on....the subprime mortgages, the overpriced properties, on and on. The lenders, the sellers, the buyers, EVERYONE. And then when it all came crashing down, all of a sudden everyone was surprised and looking to blame other people? What a crock of ****. EVERYONE bought a one way ticket on that airplane they KNEW had two ****ty engines and a drunk Captian. EVERYONE. And when it crashed out into the cold Atlantic all the dumbass survivors had the unmitigated gall to act surprised.

Why give to a REAL charities when you can give to able-bodied 22 year olds with degrees in feminine literature and puppetry?

Stupid AND delusional......perfect. Please book a flight on a PSA 727 with a ****ty radar.

Its only "fair" that people like this get some of the 1%'s money.

Im sorry......he should be killed.

You should be killed.

Buh buh buh...he has baggage! He, like.....served his dead wife divorce papers right before her funeral.....or something. So he sucks.

Tell it "I need a blow job" and it will give you a list of escort services close by. My ass, its crap. Its !@#$ing great.

An absolute comic GIANT. RIP.

Not for nothing, but if Fitz plays a couple of more good games and they bounce back from the mid-season debacle I think the year turned out pretty good, for a rebuilding club.

FIRE JOE PENDRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1bills...youre whole point is that Newt is unelecable because of baggage the MSM would have a field day with. But your answer is to run a Trump/Palin ticket. Nah...those two are bulletproof....the MSM....the late night talk shows, the pop culture creeps....nah...they wouldnt have a field day with those two.

Dude..the stats from Super Bowl 27 were pretty close, too. Come on.

Im waiting for 1bills or dave to come back with "hes a poo-poo head." And then say that Gordon Ramsey would be a better candidate. Wait.....wrong reality show.

Yes, but its against Michelle My Belle. So its bad. And evil. And racist. Meanwhile, Jimmy Fallon's !@#$ house band blindsides Michelle Bachmann and not a word from the PC police. The beat goes on.

Are you serious? Newt's ALREADY answered that charge and would retort with about a billion charges of his own against Obama and everyone he ever looked at. And doing contract work for Fannie and Freddie is really not any kind of "scandal", especailly when its written fact that those organizations didnt take Newt up on his reccomendations.

Newt has written a ton of books, has been a speaker, a consultant, a Fox News contributor and has run his American Solutions website for a long time now. Thats a lot of work for someone who 'doesnt like to work.'

I think Newts a threat. I dot not beleive he is a perfect candidate. But he is at least a realistic one. Trump....is not. Im sorry...look at his postion on things. Telling China to go !@#$ themselves is NOT a real foreign (or economic) policy. Its a soundbyte to rile up Fox and Friends viewers.

Youre writing off Gingrich becuase he did contract work for Fannie and Freddie and is a Washington insider, but you like DONALD TRUMP???!!!??? Thats like saying youre opting for the 72 Pinto becuase the 09 E Class has two flat tires. If you dont dig Newt, fine. But Trump over him? Come on.

Newts got baggage, but he runs from none of it and welcomes scrutiny. And like its been said, he knows the facts cold, has a solutions-oriented campaign (whether or not they will work who knows, but the man actually has a written plan, not just nebulous, trite slogans like "change") and is a master debater (lol). The right will line up solidly behind him and the independents will be forced to give him a day in court. Why? Becuase if you throw some real ideas at people with an "America FIRST" restorative narrative they will have a hard time NOT at least listening to him. I think he is a serious threat.

If youre going to sneak song lyrics into your post, I suggest ones more in line with the Bills' play and management. I suggest "Stripped, Raped and Strangled" by Cannibal Corpse.
