They Play Poker in Nevada, Yes?

Look, the politicos are still going at it down in DC. The newest developments are 1)President Obama is going to invite Republicans and Democrats to Camp David this weekend for some more “fun”, and 2)Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) has stated that Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA) “doesn’t even belong at the negotiating table”. Presumably, because Cantor [...]

Okay Bennie, You Win. For Now.

Yeah, I didn’t like this market action one bit. I also dont like the games they are playing in Congress versus the White House. As in, it smells like there’s gonna be a “settlement” on this debt ceiling thing. But it’s really gonna be a can kicking, down the road to 2012. The Republicans are [...]

The Easy, Simple Math

Wanna get the poopie scared out of you? Well too bad. I’m gonna do it anyway.
I want you to try a little exercise this morning. No, not on the treadmill. On the balance sheet. Your balance sheet. And then you can apply it to others.

Responsible?!? I’m The BEST!

So I caught this little story on housingwire.com yesterday. It was talking about this program called the “Responsible Homeowner Reward”. Basically, the program gives incentive to a homeowner to NOT walk away from his/her house if they are underwater on their mortgage. They kickback CASH MONEY to the homeowner if the homeowner makes his/her mortgage [...]

No Pain? No Pain!

Been reading a few interesting articles lately and little missives. Did you know that Congress, while they diddle along in this debt cap “thang”, are looking at making it a LAW to put 20% down on a home in this country? I doubt it’ll ever happen, but boy is that a good idea. Of course, [...]

HealthCare

Well, somehow I got my cable, phone, and internet all hooked up after a week of waiting. I know you are all happy about that. But I’m not in my apartment typing away. Oh no. My old man is getting his hip replaced and I’m at the Hospital for Special Surgery in NYC, NY as [...]

Swim Time!

No I don’t have my internet, cable, or phone service yet. But there are ways around that to communicate with people such as yourselves. It’s also hotter then Hedes which tells me I need to stay cool. Therefore, the pool is in order. My kid is also about to hit the pool this afternoon after [...]

Filthiness Abounds

So I gather there was some sort of murder trial down in Florida the past few weeks? It ended yesterday? Well, all I’ve heard coming out of it was 1) the defense legal team, “the winners”, had a big celebration at a bar across the street from the courthouse, 2) the “innocent” mother is going [...]

Now We Have Come Full Circle

So no, I don’t have my internet, phone, or cable up, yet. The cable company is “backlogged from the very busy 4th of July weekend.” That would be backlogged because NO ONE was working at the cable company on the 4th of July weekend. So I’m at one of those coffee joints with the free [...]

Happy Birthday, America!

Well as you may know, moving stinks. I had at one point 10 people on the payroll yesterday and it still took forever. And all I did was move 5 floors in the same bldg and send stuff to one of those personal storage places. The moving part is finally done. Now cable tv, internet, [...]
