Owned by the U.S. Ambassador to the Netherlands and co-founder of the Museum of Tolerance, Roland Arnall ...Ha, ha! You can't imagine just how _tolerant_ this makes me feel. I'm feeling more and more _tolerant_ each and every day...

If you ever want to see KFI (LA) morning host Bill Handel take off the clown mask
and really get angry ask him about his experience with the LA Museum of Tolerance. He's Jewish, BTW.

It's a great country where a garment worker can own a $600,000 home, ain't it?

Meanwhile, has anyone noticed the new kerfuffle over toxic Chinese drywall used in building at least 100,000 homes over the last decade?

The homebuilding mess just keeps getting better. Those toxic assets might actually be toxic assets.

Capitalism! Free trade! Open borders!

Santa Ana isn't that bad a place to live. My sister and her husband got a starter home in the late l970's there for about $65,000. They didn't mind living in a Mexican neighborhood until their daughter entered kindergarten and was the only English speaker.

Well, the pattern of toxic and poisonous products coming out of China continues. This time it is furniture…

New sofas to blame for rash of allergies

An unexplained rash could be a sign that your couch is making you sick.

A toxic fungicide in imported furniture is behind an outbreak of chronic dermatitis, skin burns, eye irritation and breathing difficulties across the world.

Medical experts here are warning consumers to watch for symptoms.

The international journal Allergy has confirmed what thousands of British and mainland European citizens have known for more than a year: new leather sofas imported from China are a hotbed of allergens.

Dimethyl fumarate, in the form of a fine, white crystalline powder, was found in sachets embedded in the furniture sourced to China.

It is believed the body heat generated from sitting on a contaminated couch causes a toxic vapour to seep out.

Chemical filled couches, toxins in the drywall...That's the great thing about Chinese products these days. You get more than you paid for! Yay!
But seriously, Chinese drywall?! Did the US run through all the gypsum deposits?
And finally, Bad Metaphor Time:
These new McMansions that are now worth pennies on the $ are just like the US. Pretty on the oustide but crumbling, badly constructed, full of bad stuff/not so great people, etc.... And we can't afford it.
Like I said, not such a great job, hoepfully you get the idea.

"Bill Cook" looks like he's actually about 3/4 mestizo, kind of like "Bill Richardson."

Also interesting that his bio doesn't mention his wife or daughters by name, and his interests are unusually generic, i.e. "youth soccer" and "travel." Guys that run these sort of companies usually have big egos and like to advertise themselves and their philanthropic achievements. Something doesn't seem right here.

If the business of America is business, you gotta admit that subprime mortgage brokering/origination was a helluva money-maker. And at the same time you were contributing to the greater good by helping America reach its goal of diversifying home ownership. What was not to like about that arrangement? However in the 'What were they thinking department?', apparently some of these rackets, err businesses/community betterment endeavors did not sell the loans off fast enough. Just think of that as one possibility for improving the business model.
