McCain scored a point with me when he said that no emergency bailout should be made to the people who obtained these mortgages. His opponents, though, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, have made comments in the recent past that some kind of “help” ought be made available to the people with these mortgages. My question to Clinton and Obama would be: “Why? Are you looking at rewarding bad and irresponsible behavior?”

If you look at the new home construction going on around the 9:24 mark in the video, that’s some of the construction that led to many of the cookie-cutter style homes in Mayfair at the time. From the mid-1940s through the early 1960s, a lot of new home construction converted much of Northeast Philadelphia from open fields to the Northeast Philadelphia of today.

The ever-unwinding story about former New Jersey Governor James McGreevey is once again becoming a half-interesting episode to follow. As if past headlines and news stories about Jim McGreevey and his gay lover, and with the current sex fiend, former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer and his prostitutes, in the news, it seems the New York-New Jersey political bed is filled with nothing but wanton lust in gay, hooker, and three-way sex.
Three-way sex? That’s right. It seems that one of the now-former governors had three-way sex, and it’s only now that the embers of being stoked in the coals.

The attorney for former high-priced Washington, D.C.-based call girl, “Kristen”, seems to have forgotten something he may have learned in law school. Perhaps he didn’t learn it, which is why he’s flapping his gums so much, basically trying to intimidate newspapers and TV news stations.
