It’s been 24 hours, and still no major terrorist attack. This is a sad day for America.

A potential buyer he is working with had to walk away from a house he wanted when the lender raised the rate on the pending loan, increasing monthly payments by $200.
“It was a little too much on the expense side. Now they’re waiting a year,” Kollmansberger said.
That house is back on the market, said John Newland, the Ogden & Co. broker who is representing it, “and now there are two other houses on the same street that have gone up for sale,” he said. “It would be a buyers’ market, if there were buyers.”
My favorite quote so far on the housing collapse. From the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

The credit crunch we are undergoing right now is definitely going to accelerate the housing collapse.
“It would be a buyers’ market, if there were buyers.”
Right up there with a couple of all time favorites:
“If we had some bacon, we could have bacon and eggs, if we could find some eggs.”
“Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the theater?”

I read that doctors are puzzled over what appears to be an outbreak of some unknown condition. During the last few days, thousands of men, primarily in Boston, Cleveland, Oakland, and the surrounding regions of those cities, have been overcome with uncontrollable laughter. Many of the men have laughed so hard their buttocks have fallen off.
Meanwhile, in Pittsburgh, The NFL’s Steelers introduced a new mascot, Steely McBeam.

Demi, you can add:
“Yes, but did you like the weather in Dallas Mrs. Kennedy?”

Steely McBeam sounds like some kind of new, more powerful headlight.

We were warned by a realtor friend of ours that a favorite tactic is for the lender to hit you with a higher rate right before closing. That they like to hook you in with one rate, and then hit you with the new rate when you may be stuck with taking it. I would call it ‘bait and switch’, but that is just me. He warned us to make sure that we have an out (place to stay in), and if we do we are more likely to get the rate change reversed.
Right now we are sitting on our cash. We are in no hurry to help prop up this house of cards that the players have built. Getting 5.3% on our CD’s is ok with us for now. Nothing like getting paid while watching the market overextend itself (yet again).
Maj. Gen. Rick Lynch, the task force commander, said a sniper killed one soldier, then lured his comrades to a booby-trapped house where four died in an explosion when one of them stepped on a hidden bomb. Four others were wounded in the blast, Lynch told the AP.
Turdblossom is leaving the White House and heading back to Texas. I wish to extend my condolences to Texas, and I hope that they eventually recover from this tragedy. Having Rove move into any state is a tragedy of major proportions.
The good news is that Bush’s Brain is leaving the building. Now if we could just get rid of Bush, Cheney & Gonzo, I think that life might get a little better for everyone on the planet.

Oh, and did anyone catch the helicopter money drop the Fed pulled off on Friday?
