I love that Merrill Lynch CEO, who said he just couldn't work in that office the way it was decorated, so he spent a over a million dollars to make it his perfect think tank. Well, that didn't work out well.

Blackwater Worldwide, denied
an operating license in Iraq, said Thursday it could leave the country within 72
hours but cautioned that such a move would cause more harm to the American
diplomats it protects than the company itself.
Hey, earlier this week, all the e-mail service in the White House completely collapsed. No e-mails coming in, no e-mails going out. Everything had to be written down on paper by hand. It was like if John McCain had been elected president. - Jay leno

Big snowstorm has hit the northeast, and President Obama actually said this. He said that people in Washington can’t handle harsh winter weather like people in Chicago. But, to be fair, Chicago is shielded from the snow and ice by the protective dome of Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich’s hair.- Conan O'Brien Palin Family Value$
A pair of
Naughty Monkey shoes allegedly worn by Sarah Palin were auctioned off for $2,025

The AHNC weekend commentary
What’s in a name?
Six months
ago, a survey of Americans for name recognition of “Blagojevich” would have
turned up responses like:
Subject:I had hoped to hear good news from you on your house flipping (or did you mean "flippin' house"?)
A friend of mine who is a
realtor called me yesterday and asked if I had any money. (I wish!) He said
there are terrific bargains out there but sales are sparse. He's been scraping
by for a year now. Unfortunately, I zipped through the budget on the last
terrific bargain I bought (which actually WAS a terrific bargain, but needed
(needs) a lot of work. I'm going to the bank this evening to see about
refinancing and combining kids' student loans and home equity loans - that is
AFTER the bankers stop laughing. They actually called me, though - I wonder if
I'm getting punk'd?
You're not getting punk'd...I received a call the other day from a company I had satisfied a home loan through (I flipped a townhouse). They wanted me to refinance similar to your situation. Yesterday, I got denied because I did not earn enough, I was a several thousand shy of an FHA 30 year fixed at 5.3%. I just satisfied a loan through them in full as I have with seven other homes during my lifetime. I have good credit and never claimed bankruptcy and I can't get a loan because my income is a few thousand short? Geez Louise, how much more dependable do I have to be? The company is going to try some other avenues for me to qualify but I am not encouraged. The best solution would be to sell this house and not have to deal with all that loan crapola. It would be interesting to know where all that loan money is going --- to refinancing homes or home sales? Because home sales here came to a halt last spring. I wonder if people aren't buying homes because they can't get a loan or because they are sitting back watching? I'm doing both. :( Good luck Pudge and thank you for writing.

A statue
built for Iraqi journalist Muntazer al-Zaidi, who hurled his shoes at former
U.S. president George Bush, is seen in Tikrit, 150 km (95 miles) Baghdad,
January 27, 2009. An Iraqi town has unveiled a giant monument of a shoe in honor
of the journalist who threw his footwear at former U.S. President George W.
Bush. The letters on the sign reads "Muntazer is fasting until the sword breaks
his fast with blood, silent until our mouths speak the truth".
Peace.
