...doesn't mean there aren't grim pockets elsewhere. By the end of March 2011, Deutsche Bank projects, 65% of borrowers in the Chicago metro area, 71% of those in the Baltimore and Portland, Ore., areas, and 77% in greater New York City will be underwater. On paper, that might look a lot better than the 93% Deutsche Bank is expecting for Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and the 92% figure for El Centro, Calif. But to the people living in those houses, unable to move, the relative good fortune will likely be little consolation...

(I just drove in an Aptera. It looks like an awesome Jetsons vehicle, plugs into the wall, drives like a dream, goes 100 miles on a charge, costs under $30,000 - and I want...
...radar sometimes. The media does a good job portraying conservatives as old white men who smoke cigars, but that's not it at all. I'm here with hundreds of conservative kids today. I actually think of a lot them are afraid to express themselves for fear their peers might look differently at them. I've had liberal professors who would purposefully single me out and say things just to get me riled up. I kind of took it as my duty to sit in class and give the other side, because nobody else was doing...
