- Nah, this won’t be on MSNBC or Fox News tonight. Ron Paul predicts worldwide economic crisis, complete with the loss of liberty
-
When researchers 500 years from now look back at the American empire circa 1980 - 2010, they’ll come across Ron Paul. And they’ll say “damn, that’s one dude that understood what was going on. Too bad nobody listened”A partisan Democrat kicks off this video, but then Ron Paul brings it home. Watch the whole thing. Damn, it would be nice to see him run as an Independent. His voice is needed in the debates….

- One more time folks, it only takes 1 second to not be "anon". Just click "name/URL", type in any old name and then enter, and PRESTO, you matter
-
Anon’s are gutless and lazy. Anon’s make it impossible to track a conversation or give someone credit for something smart (or visa versa). You don’t need to register with google. If you’re too lazy to click “name/URL” then at least sign your post in the body, like this:- stupid guySomething like that. See - that was easy….

- Encore Condo Stuck At 12 Units Sold
-
Here is a preview of what the Sunday O will bring us:The downtown condo slowdown is proving to be worse than most people expected. We wrote last fall about the rise and fall of the condo market. At the time, people we talked to seemed to think the slowdown would be temporary and not too painful. They expected job growth would continue to be at least stable and population growth would be strong, two prime drivers for housing demand.T…

- This Housing Mess is Getting Ugly and Your Face Shows it. Unintended Consequences of Lost Home Equity.
-
A reader sent in a fascinating story from the L.A. Times (hat tip Exit) discussing the impact of the housing market on plastic surgery. If you’ve noticed recently that people are looking less like Hollywood stars and more like average folks, you can blame it on the disappearing equity. Here in Southern California in places like Los Angeles and Orange County, plastic surgery is as common as dying your hair a new shade of blonde. As much as the government wants people to keep spending, they have no idea where people will put their money. Not only were people adding granite countertops to their kitchen but also placing a few headlights on their body:

- The MSM and our leaders don’t want you to know how deep in the hole we truly are. It’s not $9 trillion folks. It’s $53 trillion and growing.
-
Too bad the MSM keeps mis-reporting the actual amount the US is in the hole. But I guess it’s just too much trouble to report the truth.It’s not $9.3 trillion as Katie Couric and every single other MSM report I’ve ever seen would like you to believe. If only it were such a pittance. No, per the …

Thanks to shadowstats, here’s a look at the inflation roaring in the United States, using 1980 inflation measurment methodology.When the government doesn’t like the results, what does it do? It changes the rules of course. And the MSM and the sheeple just go along with it. “Oh, that’s what the government says, so it MUST be true!”…

It’s fashionable to criticize mainstream journalism these days, and tonight I will pile on: there isn’t enough serious and insightful coverage and analysis of the real drama in Washington right now — the three-way argument between the Fed, the Bush administration and the Congress over how best to respond to the economic mess.

“Lying” as a marketing strategy is soooooo 2005. Come on realtors - if it’s not working, and you know it’s not working - change directionIf realtors EVER want to eat again, they’re gonna have to change the message.

- Some Prescient Testimony from the S&L Crisis

Andrew Leonard at Salon provides some Congressional testimony after the S&L Crisis in “The next time we have Black Monday”Prescient is too mild a word to describe [Stephen] Pizzo’s testimony.

But here is a choice excerpt, featuring Pizzo’s prediction as to the likely baleful consequences of allowing commercial banks to play with securities. … A…
