In case the sub-prime lending scandal and the Eliot Spitzer scandal has you trying to figure out what going on.....Greg Palast clears up any "mismatched" facts...  The Palast Site. 

An excerpt:

"Here’s how it worked: The Grinning Family, with US average household income, gets a $200,000 mortgage at 4% for two years. Their $955 monthly payment is 25% of their income. No problem. Their banker promises them a new mortgage, again at the cheap rate, in two years. But in two years, the promise ain’t worth a can of spam and the Grinnings are told to scram - because their house is now worth less than the mortgage. Now, the mortgage hits 9% or $1,609 plus fees to recover the “discount” they had for two years. Suddenly, payments equal 42% to 50% of pre-tax income. The Grinnings move into their Toyota."

Just a disgusting display of University of Florida cops tasereing a 21-year-old college student for asking a series of intelligent questions of Sen. John Kerry regarding the 2004 election and regarding Greg Palast's book, 'Armed Madhouse'. Watch this video.

True to his 2004 campaign form, Kerry let the assault go unchallenged.

A truly disgusting display. Watch this video.

I would like to know how we can support Andrew Meyers.
