Illegal use of Equity - Average and Normal
People have made bad, and improper investments with credit and equity.
My family and friends (who I would say are "average" and "normal" Americans) have used home equity to buy other homes, invest in the stock market, to buy "stuff", and to pay expenses. This sometimes illegal and improper use of residential property equity is the problem! This equity does not exist yet and no one knows when or if it will, or how much it may be; and it is all ready "at work" - multiply times over. I have seen many people live off of credit and use their money to invest. This "hyper-capitalism" of equity on equity - on credit and debt appreciation, is a flawed and failing economic model, and it is failing - just as it should.
My landlord was out yesterday because her house needs major work.
She said "Well, I'll just have to do it - I mean it has to be done - I am getting a home improvement loan on another property and I'll have to use it here - Well it has to be done - so keep me informed - I am refinancing this house at a lower rate on Friday - if I can get the loan with the house like this - could you cover it with plastic or something for the bank appraiser to come out?"......

Pit Bulls and Lipstick
I have to admit that I have never actually seen a pig putting on lipstick. I guess it was because pigs had a hard time holding lipstick in their hooves, and the fact that their species never adapted to the manufacture and sale of mirrors for self-conscious assessment? But a pit bull with lipstick? What are we to think of such a shocking metaphor—that is of a hockey mom equating to a pit bull? Or why do moms continue to where lipstick after getting married anyway?
Pit Bulls and Lipstick
By Randy Redbull
When Alice wanting to be the queen of the giant chess game in the Looking-Glass House the red queen told her to go to the eighth square. There Tweedledum and Tweedledee made her recite the longest poem she knew. Thus she clued us in on her cosmic awareness:
“The time has come.” The Walrus said,
“To talk of many things:
Of shoes—-and ships—-and sealing wax-—
Of cabbages—-and kings-—
And why the sea is boiling hot—-
And whether pigs have wings.”

That is one of the evils that they support by removing this article, but they are too stupid to know it! Understand that when they delete or hide this article, they enable Bush Nazis to track anyone trying to access there or elsewhere.

Assuming that Democratic presidential candidate Barak Obama would win the presidential elections in November and become the next man in the White House, his biggest challenge in the Middle East will be the Last Pharaoh! It is not the Last Pharaoh, the movie made by Will Smith, but Hosny Mubarak, a.k.a. The Last Pharaoh of Egypt.
