Madam Foxx Votes No on Foreclosure Prevention Act
No surprise.The Foreclosure Prevention Act of 2008 is designed to help 400,000 homeowners avoid foreclosure. The bill also includes a federal bailout for mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Virginia Foxx voted no, blaming the victims of mortgage scams for being victims. You should have known better. So what if you lose your house? Some packing crates make excellent shelter.
The bill passed in the House anyway, 272-152, and El Presidente says he'll sign it.

Bonkers, We're Going
"Home foreclosures in North Carolina increased 78 percent in June..."We had to read that sentence twice to make sure we weren't hallucinating.
But, of course, it's all just a mental disorder. To make anything sinister out of that statistic is not only crazy but probably unpatriotic.
Forgive us. We need a padded cell.
Doctor Gramm and Nurse Foxx will no doubt serve us herbal tea and Graham crackers. And talk us back into the bright, spangly pleasure-dome of the Bush economy.
