		<description>Hello...  

 I just wanted to say hello to everyone. I have been a long time lurker of this forum and decided to join. There are a lot of interesting posts here and the members and the MOD&#039;s are pretty friendly.

I would like some advice from maybe some of the senior members about home buying. Me and the wifey are thinking about buying a home. I have been reading a little bit about foreclosures and getting some homebuying tips from this [url=http://agentsbuddy.com]Real Estate[/url] site but we are still undecided. 

I think this site is more for Real Estate Agents just trying to promote themselves for free.

Suggestions or Ideas appreciated from any member.</description>

		<description>That was a really sweet video with the dogs.

My cat will talk to me.  Meow meow meow.
Telling me all about it.  My cat is quite the ham.

Now my dog- my dog is always so happy to see people, me too.  Even if I ran to the store.  I can&#039;t imagine how she&#039;d react if we were gone longer than a day.

We finally had to train her to sit and be calm if she wanted to get her pack leader&#039;s greetings.  So we walk in the door now, she goes nuts running back and forth then she&#039;ll come practically sit on your feet and wait...until you pet her then she&#039;s off running around again....to your feet for more love.

Its so hard to keep from wagging your tail when you&#039;re SO happy and sitting on the floor.  And that thing is deadly when it goes.</description>

		<description>Critic Of ACORN
http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Employment_Policies_Institute
The Employment Policies Institute (EPI) is one of several front groups created by Berman &amp; Co., a Washington, DC public affairs firm owned by Rick Berman, who lobbies for the restaurant, hotel, alcoholic beverage and tobacco industries. While most commonly referred to as EPI, it is registered as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization under the name of Employment Policies Institute Foundation. In its annual Internal Revenue Service return, EPI states that it &quot;shares office space with Berman &amp; Company on a cost pass through basis&quot;. [1]

EPI has has been widely quoted in news stories regarding minimum wage issues, and although a few of those stories have correctly described it as a &quot;think tank financed by business,&quot; most stories fail to provide any identification that would enable readers to identify the vested interests behind its pronouncements. Instead, it is usually described exactly the way it describes itself, as a &quot;non-profit research organization dedicated to studying public policy issues surrounding employment growth&quot; that &quot;focuses on issues that affect entry-level employment.&quot; In reality, EPI&#039;s mission is to keep the minimum wage low so Berman&#039;s clients can continue to pay their workers as little as possible.

EPI also owns the internet domain names to MinimumWage.com and LivingWage.com, a website that attempts to portray the idea of a living wage for workers as some kind of insidious conspiracy. &quot;Living wage activists want nothing less than a national livingwage,&quot; it warns (as though there is something wrong with paying employees enough that they can afford to eat and pay rent).

In 2005 EPI provided, according to its IRS return, $307,995 by way of grants to the FirstJobs Institute, which it describes as an &quot;economic literacy program&quot;. [2]</description>

		<description>Police: iPhone Left in Hot Car for Three Hours

WINNETKA, IL—This normally peaceful suburban town is still reeling following the news Monday that a local resident, whose name is being withheld by police pending a full investigation, left an iPhone unattended for more than three hours in a car parked in the hot sun.

&quot;Responding to calls from concerned passersby, who observed the iPhone sitting in a vehicle in the parking lot of the Westfield Shopping Center, police arrived on the scene at approximately 4 p.m. and immediately intervened to save the device,&quot; said Winnetka police chief Douglas Blaine. 

&quot;Security cameras have shown that the iPhone had been in the car—with the doors locked and the windows rolled up—since 1 p.m. Due to the tragic and highly emotional nature of this case, we cannot say any more at this time.&quot; -The Onion</description>

Whenever I&#039;m gone for a few days or weeks, my kitty greets my return by bawling me out for being away...then runs up and cuddles and purrs, then thinks about and bawls me out some more, then more cuddle, then more bawling out....  

I love the video, but I also suspect that&#039;s how the dogs greet the guy every time he returns from checking the mail box.

		<description>What a homecoming!  Thanks, MonkeyHawk for sharing the video.  I, too, love my cats, but I have a dog who loves me with abandon and I get that kind of unabashed expression of love from her.  The cats try not to show how much they love me but I know it anyway!</description>

Free…I’m always amazed that people actually believe everything they read on the internet and listen to on conservative talk radio…the fact that they vote really frightens me.
-------------------------------------------
Could that be part of the reason we are in  the mess we are in? Maybe some sort of IQ test is in order.</description>

		<description>So McCain hasn&#039;t taken money from Freddie and Fannie, Biased? His campaign manager is with the accounting firm that handles them both!
You forget McCain is &quot;that one&quot; who voted time and time again against banking regulations.</description>

		<description>This is not about Senator Hillary Clinton. This is about Governor Sarah Palin.

Branchflower said Palin violated a statute of the Alaska Executive Branch Ethics Act.

		<description>Troyboy,
&quot;Rex Peterson, 25, a sniveling, obscene, drunken, pro-abortion coward of Nebraska with a criminal record, faces new charges of terroristic threats after attacking pro-lifers with his vehicle, as they were lining the sidewalks of Nebraska City, NE on Life Chain Sunday, October 5.&quot;

Hey, what about all three of your sniveling, obscene, drunken anti-choice cowards who offered to shoot me, tried to take swings at me and who called me anonymously at 2am with offers to burn my house down if I showed up to escort women past your barbarian nano-horde? Shoe on the other foot now?</description>

The report, which was commissioned and released by a bipartisan state legislative panel made up of 10 Republicans and 4 Democrats, said: “The evidence supports the conclusion that Governor Palin, at the least, engaged in ‘official action’ by her inaction if not her active participation or assistance to her husband in attempting to get Troooper Wooten fired [and there is evidence of her active participation].”

===================================
&lt;i&gt;Palin, at the least, engaged in ‘official action’ by her inaction&lt;/i&gt;

What sort of weasel words are those?

Sort of like some other spouse interfering with Government office? 

Travelgate anyone? Hillary?</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;* The Bush administration, which failed to provide needed government oversight of the increasingly dicey mortgage-backed securities market.&lt;/i&gt;

False, 

Bush asked Congress every year since 2001 to pass legislation for tighter controls. It&#039;s part of the official record - fact.


&lt;i&gt;* Former Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan, who in 2004, near the peak of the housing bubble, encouraged Americans to take out adjustable rate mortgages.&lt;/i&gt;

False.

Greenspan was known for not making specific recommendations, he never said such a thing.</description>
