I found this article on the local Seattle PI web site and I think that it’s important enough to reproduce here.
Wily legal maneuver is holding off foreclosures
Homeowners demand to see original papers

ZEPHYRHILLS, Fla. — Kathy Lovelace lost her job and was about to lose her house, too. But then she made [...]
The RIAA has appealed to the court system to disallow the Web Cast streaming of the proceedings in the forthcoming case against Joel Tenenbaum. Their argument? They are afraid the results would be edited out of context and make them look bad.
Really?
How can they possibly look an worse? Considering that they have waged a [...]
Below I have pasted an article from my favorite non-American news source, The Guardian. I read them frequently when I feel as if I can’t trust the ’standard’ news outlets. Their agenda is quite different than say, Fox News or MSNBC.
Obama inauguration: Let the remaking of America begin today
Alan Rusbridger in Washington
Tuesday 20 January [...]
Remember those 17 Iraqi civilians murdered by member of the ‘elite’ security force, Blackwater? On September 16th, 2007, a firefight (if the strafing of civilians with automatic weapons can be considered a firefight!) in Nisour Square left 17 civilians dead, 14 of whom the FBI has determined were unjustifiable.
Well, the 5 Blackwater murderers [...]
As the ripples of the economic debacle continue to spread we will be seeing more cases like WaMu. Washington Mutual collapsed in September and was acquired by JPMorgan for $1.9 billion. It was this nation’s largest bank failure in history.
Hopefully it will be the last such failure, but my guess is that [...]
Yikes! There is apparently an oft forgotten little clause in the U.S. Constitution (Article One, Section Six) that prohibits senators from taking a civil office if that legislator has ever voted to increase the pay for that job. Could this preclude Hillary from accepting the post of Secretary of State?
There is also some [...]
You really have to wonder what she was thinking. When President George H.W. Bush officially pardoned the first Thanksgiving turkey in 1989, it became a cute little White House tradition and photo op for the President and his family.
A lighthearted moment for the 6 o’clock news normally filled with war and famine. [...]
The ‘Big Three’, General Motors, Ford and Chrysler, have spent billions of dollars in the past few years betting that the American public doesn’t really want fuel efficiency.
That sounds like a harsh statement, but look at the facts:
The Hummer
Any Denali
Chevy Suburban
Ford Expedition
Cadillac Escalade
No electric car
Average MPG by [...]
I have been telling friends and family that once Ted Stevens was elected, Governor Palin was going to convince him to step down and hold a special election putting herself on the ballot. That would satisfy the pundits who are calling for Ted’s resignation and satisfy the burning yearning in Sarah’s soul to [...]
After 4 years of slow growth in the Alaskan standardized testing system, students this year are showing the results of life under Palin. With test scores plummeting across the board, I guess it’s ‘All Children Left Behind’ for Sarah’s state.
It’s as important as ever that Alaska has the socialized welfare program where the [...]
Am I the only one who sees the irony in this article published in the Politico web site? Two years ago, when McCain decided to run yet again for president, Palin was still trying to live down having been Mayor of Wasilla in her bid for the Governors office.
Status quo is one thing, [...]
In a startling news story, the US Secret Service has laid the blame for the spike in death threats against then presidential candidate Barack Obama right on Sarah Palin’s doorstep.
While we’re all agreed that Sarah Palin was the cause behind the spectacular fiery crash of the Republican presidential campaign this summer, it’s interesting [...]
Sarah Palin has apparently ‘forgotten’ to return all of the clothes that were purchased for her and her family when she became John McCain’s running mate. The clothing, in an attempt to make her presentable to the masses, was purchased at such upscale stores as Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, Macy’s; and at [...]
A Harvard law professor has filed a counterclaim in the case of Sony BMG Music Entertainment, et al. v. Joel Tenenbaum. The counterclaim insists that the suit originally filed against Mr. Tenenbaum was illegal and unconstitutional.
Harvard Law School professor Charles Nesson insists that the Digital Theft Deterrence and Copyright Damages Improvement Act of [...]
Ready to follow in the footsteps of the great American Presidents like Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and FDR, Barack Obama was elected to the highest office in the land yesterday in what I will call a landslide victory.
Sweeping the polls in at least 26 states, Barack far exceeded the 270 electoral votes needed to [...]
