and now... the News
Hang on, because it seems that the stock market is really stimulated:
dayum. the day traders are making a fortune.
so. while you're enjoying that wild ride, here's a peek at your tax dollars at work:
on Thursday afternoon, they literally broke the foreclosure padlock right off the front door and then broke into the house... "We are actually trespassing... said Beverly. "Legally it's wrong, but homesteading is the only means that she has left to stay into her house... . we feel as though this is the right thing to do... Inside, there's spray paint on the walls and evidence that someone has possibly been remodeling... The group says it was staging similar demonstrations in six other cities nationwide while urging a moratorium on foreclosures...
The community organizing "group" is ACORN, yup... and they've graduated from teaching people how to steal elections to teaching people how to steal houses. Lesson number one - don't call it stealing, call it a demonstration.
How wonderful it is that their training seminars are being paid for by money straight out of the stimulus bill.
Is this a great country or what?
and... speaking of stealing... let's talk about deadbeats...
Chicago has yet to recoup the $1.74 million cost of President Obama's victory celebration in Grant Park -- despite a burgeoning $50.5 million budget shortfall that threatens more layoffs and union concessions.
Makes ya wonder what he did with that the $30 million surplus campaign funds. Betcha no one asks that question.
and... it looks like the wealthier folks are thinking 'tea party" after all: Jumbo Loan Defaults Surge in U.S. as Recession Reaches Wealthy Homeowners.

That's not "homsteading". It is simply a combination of breaking and entering and grand larceny and probably a few other things. I hope the law-breakers are arrested, tried, convicted, and locked up.

Arrest Made in Home Foreclosure Civil Disobedience Program
Monday, February 23, 2009
By Joshua Rhett Miller
Police in Baltimore today made what is believed to be the first arrest in a civil disobedience program aimed at supporting homeowners who refuse to vacate their foreclosed homes.
An activist with ACORN — the Association of Community Organization for Reform Now — faces criminal charges after breaking into a home in southeast Baltimore on Thursday to protest the foreclosure crisis sweeping the country.
"This is our house now," ACORN member Louis Beverly reportedly said after cutting a lock with bolt cutters at the home.
Beverly will be charged with fourth-degree burglary, according to Anthony Guglielmi, a spokesman for the Baltimore Police.

The only way our country can recover from this mess is for O'Vomit and the entire DNC to be removed from office, tried for treason and executed. "WOLVERINES"
