Michigan and what the Democrats have done..
A newspaper article reports that 400 homes have been foreclosed on in a small city that I was born and raised in. They also mention that 200 to 300 more houses will be next. I didn't think this city had that many homes in it, but I am too lazy to look it up in the census.

Speaking of the Census, that's right around the corner, with them advertising for help right now. Michigan will show that it has lost a huge amount of people, along with a huge tax base. The Census should skip the long form in this state. Speaking of the long form, has anyone ever seen that huge invasion of privacy? Ive gotten 3 of them, they seem to think if they keep sending them to me, Ill finally fill them out. Call your lawyer, they are very unconstitutional.

But what has happened to this small city is that property taxes are not being paid. People that cant pay the mortgage, cant pay the taxes. So the city is struggling while still trying to pay their employees and government what they think they are worth. And while all of this is going on, the wonderful city is going around putting red stickers on these empty homes so that it looks like a slum, with the big red arm of the law making its presence known.

You see, the city thinks that if you move, they have the right to inspect the home for safety. (Safety, my ass) And they pass the cost onto you or the tax rolls for the new buyer. Not only will you pay back property taxes, but you will pay an inspection tax also. Landlords that would normally see a deal have said forget it, because of the government intrusion, which they deemed that renters have more rights than we do. They inspect rental properties every year, at 180 bucks a pop.

The city tells the landlord what to fix, and don't even think of not doing it, or a red sticker will appear. The RED STICKER will not allow anyone to live there.Also, as a landlord in Michigan, you get the honor of paying 35% more in property taxes, courts that think landlords are slumlords, courts that think you are made of money, and usually rule for the tenant even if they destroy your property and refuse to pay the rent.

Even apartment buildings are subject to these crazy inspections every year, (the city has had to hire people to keep up, at first anyway) so you have the invasion of privacy on the renter, so the city can turn on lights and flush the toilet.What has resulted, is that landlords are running for the hills.

You might think that all these foreclosures are a result of sub-prime lenders. Think again. Landlords that took out a mortgage and now face all these costs and regulations have their own homes, and since they aren't making any profit, they are also letting these homes go. They lose the initial investment of 20% down, but many are saying its not worth it, let the bank have it.The prices that they are selling for is so low right now, that they cant sell them to recoup their investment.

Investors that want to try being a landlord are not interested, and normal buyers are not interested in catching up the taxes that are behind, along with any repairs that the city has cited.So, this grand experiment of the city to get more money from everyone, has resulted in a huge backfire of people saying screw it. They actually prefer the damage to their credit for 7-10 years than taking a huge loss that they cant afford.

The city is broke, the citizens are broke, and the red stickers are plenty. So, do you think the city would take a look at what they have done? Maybe change that and lay off people that make a whole lot of money telling others what to fix and what not to? Do you think the city would find a way to cut things to make it work? Offer incentives to sell these homes that are sitting empty rotting away?Oh, hell no. This middle class small city government says better days are ahead of them! No, better days were behind them.

Even apartment owners are selling the land, or making them into condos to get away from the city and its regulations. Renters are going to the outlying cities to rent because even they don't like the intrusion of government coming into their homes once a year.

As a retired Realtor, I would never buy one of these properties, even though I would love to get my one daughter into a home that she could possibly rent to own. But because I already own a home, a rental would cost me (and her) more taxes, yearly inspections of 180. bucks, plus any repairs that they deem for me to fix, and its just not worth it. So, this small city becomes a slum.

It shows what Democrats can do to a city, and a state, in a short amount of time.So, the Blue states lose residents, as the Red states prosper. It clearly irritated me enough to send off a letter to one of the councilman and ask "How's that working out for you?".
That was last week, and I have not gotten an answer.Because I am one that is in a position to buy one of those homes, instead, Ill save my money and watch it all go to hell.

That's the city where I was born. That's the city where my children were born. That's the city where my grandchildren were born. Now its where none of us live.

Ok..so rumor has it..

That after the fight on the View between Elizabeth and Fat ass Rosie, Rosie went back to her dressing room and tore it apart..oh my...now if that doesn't make you chuckle!

Then her writer for the show, (she must of been upset also, first that her writing sucks, and then that poor Rosie had her back stabbed) drew mustaches on all the pictures of Elizabeth in the place.

Elementary School, my friends. Now, this has to make you laugh, since one site is even calling Rosie a Pouty Retard!! Oooh my! No Short Bus Comments necessary here.

One commenter ever went as far to say that a good mustache ride joke here would be fitting..but was too lazy or tired to try and think of one..Heh!

I'm sure that Rosie gets a wax on her upper lip anyway, so that she couldn't say that her galpal gets a rug burn..Oh heck..this is getting so trashy.

Mustache Ride anyone?

Holy Crap, you Democrats have Balls!

Edwards charges $55,000 to speak to UC Davis students about poverty

Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, who as a Democratic presidential candidate recently proposed an educational policy that urged "every financial barrier" be removed for American kids who want to go to college, has been going to college himself -- as a high paid speaker, his financial records show.

The candidate charged a whopping $55,000 to speak at to a crowd of 1,787 the taxpayer-funded University of California at Davis on Jan. 9, 2006 last year, Joe Martin, the public relations officer for the campus' Mondavi Center confirmed Monday.

I cant believe you would show your face in public, you Breck Girl you.

Excerpt:(CBS) NEW YORK A controversial new plan is about to be implemented to improve the quality of life in New York City.This weekend Mayor Michael Bloomberg is expected to introduce an $8.00 congestion fee for drivers who enter Manhattan below 86th Street.On the city's traffic-clogged arteries Friday, Bloomberg was not a popular guy.

"Next thing he's gonna charge us to cross the street," one driver said.Complaints like those echoed among drivers who'd heard that the mayor is about to propose tolls for vehicles entering Midtown Manhattan.A mayoral panel has proposed charging motorists to enter Manhattan below 86th Street from 6 am to 6 p.m.

Hey Mr Bloomberg, why don't you just charge New Yorker's a fee to live another day? First you ban cigarette smoking in private businesses and public buildings,and then you ban trans fatty oil that restaurants can use (BOY, I bet they would love to tell your liberal RINO fat ass what to do with your rules!!) and now you want to charge a fee to enter a city because you believe that will stop all those big bad cars driving their owners to work to feed their families! Try 8 bucks a day, times 5, and then times that by 52 weeks in a year! Yowzahhhhhh! That's a lot of groceries taken off the average family dinner table each year.

Ive met some New Yorkers, none of them were sissies! They, in fact, were some bad ass people that I wouldn't mess with! Why then, do they take this bullpoo from this idiot that thinks hes the nanny for the city of New York? I would start the recall now!

And does anyone remember how we got to the point of corn oil and vegetable oil? Remember years ago the Do-Gooders stuck their noses into the fast food industry and got them to quit using beef fat to fry their food products. Beef fat does not break down when heated and cause trans fats, therefore our bodies were better able to digest it and break it down. But that was not what the animal lovers wanted. Vegetarians wanted to eat McDonald french fries that were not fried in animal fat. After a while, the fast food industry caved and all changed to corn/vegetable oil. Now we are a nation of really fat people!

Now its these same sick son of a "beeps" that want to make sure you change it once again. The public has to change for the screw ups they made the fast food industry change, and the fries have never tasted as good as they used to. Our fannies are bigger than they have ever been, and now we have Nanny McBloomberg making sure his little minions do his bidding.

People of New York..start the recall and overturn his stupid Nanny State Bullcrap! Hes a joke, and the punchline is old..
