Cheat Seeking Missiles

Ooh-wee! The Watcher of Weasels is really in a snit this week … and it just might have been all the snitty entries submitted by the Watcher’s Council that did it. It seems the current entries into this weekly review of blogatory excellence are a sour bunch. Trillion-dollar stick-ups will do that to you … especially if you’re not the sticker-upper. Quoth the Weasel:

Now that our government has signed the biggest fraud into law the officials that some people elected into office have left the country on European junkets. Meanwhile the rug was pulled out from under the stock market and liars such as Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi pat themselves on the back for a scam well done.

Now the President is on the stump targeting “predatory lenders”, seeking to blame them for the problems caused by the elected crooks in Congress (that means you Barney). Worse, President Obama is including a new scheme to prop up people that should have never received home loans in the first place. It seems that the people that played by the rules, the real victims of this national fraud, will continue to take it on the chin; paying their mortgages as their home values decrease below the cost of the loan. No longer are Americans supposed to expect that their homes will be a long term investment. Instead it is a commodity, used by banks for speculation and then nationalized by the very same government that ushered in the policies that ~~allowed~~ mandated everyone to play fast and free with loans.

Whatever happened to just holding onto your house until the value builds back up? Incredible Wife and I have been through that drill before, and we’ll be holding onto our current house for quite a while. (God willing.)

Anyway, here are the exceptionally sweet posts that helped get the Watcher in such a sour mood:

Hey, Watcher! I’m running a bit short of anti-depressants. Can you email me a few?
