Participant[quote=walterwhite]You guys are making me feel bad for not actually producing anything. But at least I’m not blaming any particular group for anything. I like me life; I’m just maybe perhaps useless.[/quote]
Don’t feel bad. You keep us entertained AND informed. And we’re a tough room.
You can be the Human Resources Director at the new network. How’s that sound?
Participant[quote=flu][quote=eavesdropper]Actually we had people in our development who managed to stay on in their house for over two years after foreclosure proceedings were initiated against them. They finally were forced out, but not before they had totally stripped the house. Kitchen cabinets, sinks, faucets, appliances, tile, light fixtures. Same for all four bathrooms: plumbing fixtures, faucets, cabinetry, mirrors. Took out the furnace and air conditioning units. Even removed ductwork and wiring in some areas. The house ended up selling for half of what they are typically selling for now in traditional (i.e., nondistress) sale situations.
They obviously had not paid their mortgage for a while before they received their lis pendens, and then managed to get another two house-payment free years before the ax fell. They probably made a bit from selling all the appliances and building supplies. In the meantime, the law-abiding residents here will be penalized since lenders will try to use the sale price as a comparable for future buyers.
As far as I know, they’re not in jail, and they haven’t been charged with anything. I watch for their names when I read through the real estate transactions. Something tells me they’re going to be happy homeowners within six months.[/quote]
Follow me… Take deep breathe. Breathe….Hold it in… Breathe out…. pffffffffffffffff…Breathe in……..Breathe out… pfffffffffffffffffffffff….. Laugh…Ok try to laugh…Start with a small “heh”….Good…Go for two… heh heh…..Very good. You’re doing very well…. Let’s see if you can make it to three. Ready? heh heh heh….Excellent….Now let’s work on those vocal lessons… LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA…..[/quote]
That’s too much work. If the government would just create a program for people like me, I could get free Xanax and Valium to keep in my coffee table candy dish for moments like this.

ParticipantQuote from article: “One real estate agent said she has seen some foreclosed homes booby-trapped and even rigged to explode.
“They figure, ‘How am I going to get my investment back?’ — in those cases, this is what they do,” said Realtor Maria Polito.”Okay, maybe it’s just me, but how does filling your pipes with concrete, booby-trapping your home, and rigging it to explode get your investment back?

Participant[quote=Allan from Fallbrook] What I call the “genuine liberal” or “genuine center-left” posters like SK, afx or Gandalf, bring an intelligent, thoughtful approach to debate and dialogue, but, more than that, a genuine concern for the well-being of this country. It isn’t about tit-for-tat mudslinging, or what Rich calls a “right versus left slapfest”. Its about trying to find common ground and common cause and fix the damn problem.
Unfortunately, we’re now a part of, and consumed by, a 24 hour news cycle that treats everything, no matter how mundane, stupid or non-sensical, as grist for the mill and worthy of public view. Hence, we treat a lunatic moron like Christine O’Donnell as an honest-to-God Senate candidate, or a triumphalist Know-Nothing like Sarah Palin as a Vice Presidential worthy.
Hopefully, we’ll wake to the reality that that won’t get it done and we need to get off our collective asses and get back in the game. Or not. There’s always Canada.[/quote]
We Piggs have to buy a TV network. The commentary would be intelligent and diverse (something missing from just about every network news production except that of PBS and Comedy Central these days), and we certainly could do a better job than the Hannitys, Olbermans, Becks, Scarboroughs, Schultzes, and whoever is the latest through CNN’s revolving door. We can call it TSNN (Tough Shit News Network) and use slogans like, “You’re Not Going To Like What We’re Going To Tell You”. And “If You Can’t Handle It, Don’t Tune In”. And “If You’re Looking For Someone Who Agrees With You, Change the Channel.” And “Trying To Make A Difference In America. Not In Your Screwup Of A Life”. No human interest stories here. And no journalists posing as neutral commentators. No fake outrage. In fact, no emotion of any sort. We’re reporting the news, for pete’s sake.
Oh, and every penny we’d make, over and above production costs, would be donated to pay off the national debt. I think we’d be a cinch to succeed. But, if not, who gives a rat’s ass.
