While reading some other folks blogs this morning, I came upon a post by Tchaka that made me wonder. He wrote that he likes to look out for his fellow man. That is a paraphrase of what he said, but the point is that he wants to help his fellow man (or woman). I like that. I think that we all do. ...

I never quite thought of it this way but if you disagree with me, are you a racist? You see, if your idea is different than mine, I simply get to say "you my friend are a racist. You're not seeing what I am saying, you are simply against my skin color. It is very simple. You are a racist." Kind o...

I am even more sure of it now. I have always kind of questioned the motives of some of the people both on AR, in the media, and in the general public on this healthcare bill. Every time it gets debated, the thing turns into an outright argument. But I keep reading and hearing one thing that both...

We have all known people who just are not able to act in extreme emergencies. The events just cloud their thinking and they are not able to do what needs to be done. They try to act, but their actions are not helpful. These are people who may be nice, smart, and good looking, but that is where it...

As I watch some of these Town Hall meetings, I am appalled at the behavior of the elected officials. You can comment on the behavior of the citizens, but they get a pass in my book. They're the boss - even if they are minimalized and trivialized by the elite running the meeting. Citizens are mad,...

As a guy who has been buying some short sales of late, I have finally figured out how the banks calculate how much they are willing to take for a property. Ask anyone who has ever offered on a short and they will tell you that after you make your offer, you do not get to hear any news for at leas...

For years it was build it and they will come. Yes, for all of us builders, we could simply build a nice spec home and have it sold within months, or possibly weeks. A nice little payday and then start the process all over again. Those days have been gone for a while now. Now, it seems, that most ...

I can feel it. Oh yeah. Fall is coming and that can mean many things, but especially one really big thing. Sports. Football. For some of us, football is beyond a sport. It is our lifeblood. Friday night high school games, Saturday college games, and Sunday pro games. 3 days of uninterrupted actio...

Again. Mortgage apps for both refinances and new home purchases rose again. A couple of weeks going here. It is almost a run for those of us who have been waiting for this to happen. The refi apps moved up for a second straight week, while the new home apps climbed for a fourth straight week. Nic...

White House and the Congress predict record deficits. Great. The story goes on to explain that they both use different accounting methods, and came up with slightly different numbers, but that they both predict deficits on the order of "we are screwed". No kidding. My 3rd grader predicted the sam...
