There's a picture of where the pipeline goes on The Oil Drum. Some speculation is that the Russians don't like this alternative pipeline, because the price of oil would be higher without it. or, they would be making more money without it. Seems to me that I read some time ago 5...

Ok, I vote this for the most disgusting fact in this thread, past, present or future. We are having out septic tank pumped out. The guy doing it is a a laid off IT guy making much more money than he ever did in IT. So, he has read all about the chemistry, and care and feeding of...

Horses and barn doors. South Ossettia (sp?) has been invaded by Georgia? Russia? Somebody. Big oil pipeline somewhere nearby.

Gee, I previously thought PG county was an ok place. I'm an ex Baltimoron. My mom still lives there and it would take a nuclear explosion to get her out. Lotsa murders in Big B.

I didn't get to 1500 in 2 weeks!! Since last fall, as you know.

I just finished fighting with a Merril Lynch "analyst. He was actually recommending that I buy a CD from WaMu. Or, in the alternative, B of A. I was insulting. He's from New Jersey, and says the property market in New Jersey and New York are just peachy and I should trust the US...

I did very little of any of that, and I resent having to pay for these idiot's idocy. On the credit Default swap thing: It takes a while for this stuff to penetrate my teeny weeny brain, but was default saying that when somebody hedges with somebody and hands them money, instead...

Hey, 1,500 get no kudos?

Top party school is University of Florida at Gainesville, where my daughter went. She got an excellent education. There was however, an incident involving booze and trees however.

And I still don't get the Magic Box post of default; I suppose I will have to read it over and over again.

That thread was the greatest thread of all time, and it kept on going until well into the next day hitting well over 400 posts. Default hasn't shown up on subsequent threads that I've noticed. It may be that he has to work. And--didn't anybody check to see that there were assets...

I was checking the tax assessor in Miami-Dade, for something and discovered a new category, called foreclosure statitstics. I don't know how long it's been there, but I just found it. Has the number of foreclosures year by year and they are floating up and down sorta randomly and then...

Ok, no suggestions yet as to what should be cut. Come on, buck it up and let's have it: or I will thing y'all belong in the state legislature. Big stuff too, 'cause that's what's needed. Or, if you think you should be taxed more to pay for stuff you are reluctant to cut, where...

Back when I started reading IHB, I went bank a ways and started foreward. It was like looking at a foreclosure tsunami headed toward us all. Closings had aready stopped dead, but foreclosures were just starting their horrific rise in Miami-Dade County. Now we are in the midst of the...

Now that Coastal Oak Place looks like a million dollar place to me. Or 900 anyway. Finally something that actually looks valuable! Looking over the golf course and all. Is it all staged? No pictures on the walls at all. Anybody ever actually live there. Odd shaped rooms, but...

Good glory you people are heavily taxed!! We have no income tax, effectively no estate taxes, lower sales taxes. . . Ok, so what does awgee and his mom think should be cut? Be specific. What actually can be cut? I understand you over pay your prison guards. Gosh, there is...

C Risk is down. A conspiracy. Snark, snark.

And I thought that Florida was bad off. Nobody here wants their ox to be gored, but the money is gonna be cut, and I guess the ones cut will be the ones who whine the least, certainly little will be spared based on value produced.

As pointed out at Calculated Risk, the west coast is 3 hours behind, so could be more from other time zones.

I regularly advise clients to add a clause that says overnite guests are ok, but people who are living there permanently should cause the rent to go up 100-150 a month. Only fair. More wear and tear.
