They really need to nip this credit card thing in the butt. . . Credit card debt are even worse as they are unsecuritized. At least with mortgages, you have a piece of property/house to value. People will walk into BK court and get their CC debts wiped clean. The banks have learned...

McCormicks is a good deal. . .I work around the one in Irvine and co-workers go there once in a while. Pucks at South Coast is pretty good. . .I believe that they have pretty good drink specials and half of of sushi rolls and appetizers.

Troop. . you know I love you but... I go to Saddleback and unlike many preachers that I see, Warren does not preach from the pulpit (at least when I was there). He speaks about caring for others despite having differences with them. Warren gave his opinion on what he believes on the...

I do not want an American car.. . it is not worth me getting stranded on the side of the road, having to cough up $$$$ for repairs 50K miles later, or surrounding myself with cheap leather, mismatched plastic components, and illogical instrumentation.

I am not sure whether this has been posted before but I wanted to share these two links from NPR and the show "This American Life" regarding the current financial meltdown. The first is about the whole issue about mortgages and lending and the second is about the bailout and the state of the...
