Some random places to see what's going on in the world:

Hillary's got bad money, and probably knows about it

Guatamalan ministry that helps out kids in the city dump, for real

About time we made decisions without cow-towing to the Russians

New Home Sales records continue, and the economy continues to be carried by new home construction. For how long? Is it time for other sectors to start pulling their weight?

Realtor.org reports that lenders are going to crack down on inflated appraisals. Oh yeah? Then who would have benefited from inflated appraisals? The lenders, the realtors, the homeowners? Sounds a bit fishy to me

I'll get to more posting tomorrow. Sorry about the lag, lots going on.
