Slackers Were Right
In what feels like the not-so distant past, I was once a slacker. Life has thrown me some curve balls — all for the better — and now I am part of the suburban hoard that is the anti-thesis of slackerdom. Though I am more than happy with my life as it is today, I […]

Cramdown (SP?)
From Politco: The most controversial change would allow bankruptcy judges to modify mortgages for a homeowner’s primary residence.

Day 30: Mike Castle’s Betrayal of Delaware
According the DCCC calls that are being made to Delawareans: “Castle’s empty rhetoric can’t hide that he voted to raise the (alternative minimum tax) on 22 million middle-class Americans and against the largest tax cut in history,” the calls say.
