I have no sympathy for Paula Taylor

Dateline is doing a 3-part special about the mortgage crisis. They started the series with the story of Paula Taylor.

She was virtually homeless, living from day-to-day with different family members, and working as a personal trainer for $1600 a month, when Countrywide gave her a loan to buy a condo in Boston. Her monthly payment was $2100 a month. How could this be? 

Well regardless of any shady goings-on on the part of the bank, what part does personal responsibility play? Isn't it Paula's fault for signing on the dotted line when she knew she couldn't afford it?

I have no sympathy for her.

Madness!!!

"If you own guns in this country,
If you drink beer in this country,
If you go to tittie bars in this country,
then you're a bad person."
...The words of a self-professed redneck, who by his own admission, is not ready for a black president because he is "from the old school." 

The quote is taken from Right America: Feeling Wronged, a documentary by Alexandra Pelosi, the daughter of Nancy Pelosi.

We got alot of work to do
