Some scammer was going around the country claiming that banks couldn't tell who owned your mortgage (because of tranching and other structuring) so they couldn't foreclose and kick people out. Of course, you could sign up for the $$$ seminar and learn how to help other people do this for a fee...

I bet you could jump over it, too. :)

Yep, they could be wrong about that. Pretty unlikely though. But perhaps Elvis, Bigfoot and The Loch Ness Monster blew up the WTC, then escaped in a flying saucer piloted by ghosts. To be fair, the second supposition is even more far-fetched than the first. By orders of magnitude, even...

The hooker says "I'll keep an eye out for you."

You know it. But this all stems from the original dangerous precedent of the government taking money from people who earned it and giving it to those who didn't. Only suckers work for a living and pay their bills on time. Careful voting will see to it that the rich (who take more than their...

While I wouldn't want to . . . err. . .out the punchline, I expect surely everybody has heard this one, right?

Once you become a customer of HSBC, you are marked for an endless series of automated telemarketing calls several times a day starting at some future date. They have a number that supposedly allows you to drop off their telemarketing list - after you get 60 more days of 6 calls a day, that is...

"Poof! And another 100 billion is gone!"

Could you imagine if that were a white gang in the South doing that? It'd be the only story on the evening news. Sharpton would break a leg getting to the scene as fast as possible and Jackson would be right behind him. Bet they don't show up in LA, since there's not a big chunk of money to...

Not only will some knucklehead propose it, but millions of Americans will vote for free vacations.

WTF? Cars are damn expensive, and the article just got done talking about how poor people don't have them. Now we are supposed to feel sorry for her because her car broke down and she can't afford to fix it? When I was in college, I couldn't #@&^ afford a car! I hoofed it all over town...

Don't you be dissin' Spam! I plan on frying some up for breakfast in the morning. Good stuff - slice it really thin and fry it `til it's crunchy. Yum!

I bought a brand spanking new washer and dryer when we built our house. They weren't top of the line by any means, but they only cost (AIR) $250 and $400. You can pick up rerurbished units for $75. But $150 is a lot when you don't have it. How many poor people have cell phones that they...

Trader Joe's saves you money? Not in my town, holy moly. But besides that, there's a good reason the supermarket chains have left the poor areas. It used to be that you could find the chain stores in every neighborhood, whether it was rich, poor or in between. Sadly, the poor neighborhoods...

It's tough to feel sorry for him about that since he's almost certainly in favor of high taxes and big alimony payments. Or was before he got nailed with `em. He is a reporter for the NYT after all. 4k for his wife and two kids compared to 2.8k for him sounds like a fair split. She's spent...

You could win a democrat primary with great ideas like that one. After all, who's sucking down the serious stress? Somebody who gets a paycheck or somebody who's trying to get one? It's pretty clear that any unemployed American should get two weeks at a nice resort courtesy of the democratic...

They don't call it the Religion of Pieces for nothing: <p><a href="http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/"> <img border="0" alt="Thousands of Deadly Islamic Terror Attacks Since 9/11" src="http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/TROP.jpg"> </a></p>

Holy crap, listen to the reason: Well shit, let's send this economy to the #@^% moon! Permanent vacations for everybody! Yeah brother! We can vote ourselves rich, Rich, RICH!! And if that doesn't work, we'll just make the minimum wage 150 bucks an hour! Then we'll all be able to live in...

They need something to promise during the next election cycle and it sounds like you found it for `em.

Good point. Here's a great way to reduce health care costs in the US. Long lines for treatment! Some old geezer gets hit by a bus while on the list for hip replacement - hey, that's one less expensive surgery on the balance sheet! Doctor says you should get that surgery where they scrape...
