I should have sold out

Matt Tabibi makes me depressed about the foreclosure crisis.

A truth from the conclusion.

That's why one banker CEO after another keeps going on TV to explain that despite their own deceptive loans and fraudulent paperwork, the real problem is these deadbeat homeowners who won't pay their fucking bills. And that's why most people in this country are so ready to buy that explanation. Because in America, it's far more shameful to owe money than it is to steal it.

(Bolding mine)

Oh, and yes the intention is to do what we can to pretend it never happened

Less depressing

On a much happier (and weirder) note:

Bob Dylan sings Christmas Songs!

(Additional, why the hell didn't I know more about Sophie Tucker?

Xbox vs PS3 ($Holiday)

So I am considering cracking and getting a game system. I know some people have strong opinions on the matter, so XBox 360 or PS3? (Both play Dragon Age - so that's not an issue.)

On a not-entirely-unrelated note, who in the US might be willing to accept delivery should I decide to order something during Black Friday week discounts that would cost twice as much if it had to cross the border?
