Lead Foreclosure Fraud Investigators Forced To Resign By Florida AG's Office.Something Smells Fishy in the Sunshine State!
Posted: 14 Jul 2011 03:00 PM PDT
Former Florida Rep. Alan Grayson explained the standard foreclosure scams last year.
Hey, speaking of crooked politicians, look what Gov. Rick Scott's minions are up to! They're getting rid of the very people who were working to hold crooked bankers and brokers responsible for Florida's massive illegal mortgage foreclosure fraud accountable. Gee, I wonder why? That doesn't make sense, does it?

Rupertgate Thursday - The Games Begin.

Could be interesting - could be inflammatory - can't be boring.
BBC Radio 4 - PM Program - Murdoch segment - July 14, 2011
Click here to view this media
As it was reported less than an hour ago (at 9:00 am PDT), both James and Rupert Murdoch will be appearing before the Home Affairs Select Committee regarding the scandal, the fallout and the firestorm.
While momentum has been building and speculation increasing over what possible or probable repercussions are to be had here in the U.S. still remain to be seen, news and events surrounding this scandal are not going away in the UK anytime soon.
If anything, the Hearings, starting with Rebekah Brooks next Tuesday, should be interesting. Whether they will shed any light on what has been a long-running method of operation and a style of doing business is still a big question mark.
Here is the latest news as reported on the BBC 4 program PM, including an extended interview with Vince Cable, another figure who entanglements with Newscorp/News International cost him considerably.
The day ain't over and anything can still happen. And true to form, it just may.
Stay tuned.

Marcus And Michele Explain Marriage To You
Posted: 13 Jul 2011 06:00 PM PDT
Great news, everybody! Michele Bachmann and her husband Marcus are sharing marriage tips! Shall we all gather round and take notes?
These two supergeniuses of marriage, morality, and normalcy are feeling real share-y lately, and as the facts surface
showing that Marcus's federally funded* "clinic" engages in "reparative" (pray-the-gay-away) "therapy,"
perhaps we can examine what makes this God-ordained right-knowing perfect couple of God click.
Of course, there's a hippie-dippy school of thought that says every love is unique and beautiful just as it is. Having disqualified themselves with a lifetime of hateful policy and b.s. medicine, the Bachmanns can enjoy all the scrutiny and judgment they have eagerly heaped on others.
Feel free to share ways they can perfect their union in the comments!
