Judges in at least five states have stopped foreclosure proceedings because the banks that pool mortgages into securities and the companies that collect monthly payments haven't been able to prove they own the mortgages.

Remember the subprime mortgage mess? Guess what, it just got incomprehensibly worse.

Banks Lose to Deadbeat Homeowners as Loans Sold in Bonds Vanish

The mayor has officially proclaimed Feb. 27, 2008, as “Give our Georgia Friends a Drink Day.” The proclamation comes as a result of the Georgia Legislature passing a joint resolution that seeks to pursue reestablishing the boundary between Georgia and Tennessee.

Here's some water (and if you read the proclamation, a sharp stick in the eye).

Republican U.S. Rep. Richard Renzi of Arizona, a state co-chair for Sen. John McCain's presidential campaign, was indicted on corruption charges stemming from land deals in his state, Justice Department officials said on Friday.

Don Pardo, who's our next contestant? Why it's Dick Renzi, come on down! And we have another seat to fill, who's that going be? James Doolittle! You're the next contestant on Indict a Republican Congressman!

And to think, this is happening with the most politicized Department of Justice evar!!!

"I said to him that if we come up short and there are some acquittals in our cases, it will at least validate the process," Davis continued. "At which point, [Haynes's] eyes got wide and he said, 'Wait a minute, we can't have acquittals. If we've been holding these guys for so long, how can we explain letting them get off? We can't have acquittals. We've got to have convictions.'"

And the fix is in...

Rigged Trials at Gitmo

"If you want to call it significant undercounting, I guess that's a euphemism for fraud," said the mayor.

And not the kind the DoJ keeps going after, this is the real kind of fraud, screwing with the ballot box.

MIKE BLOOMBERG CLAIMS VOTE 'FRAUD’ - New York Post

"It's a clusterfuck! Just a clusterfuck!" the Corpus Christi producer for a local news affiliate shouts into his cell phone. He's telling his boss that there will be no coverage of Bill Clinton's visit to Victoria for the 6 o'clock news. "Who's running this campaign anyway?" the producer asks, of no one in particular. "And now five hundred people have stomped away mad." He shakes his head. At that moment, twenty well-dressed elderly and middle-aged dignitaries and politicians exit the back of the local arts center and walk slowly for the intersection of Goodwin and Main. Presumably, they are Hillary Clinton supporters; however, given their dazed faces, they look more like commissars who have been turned out by the NKVD and cannot believe how suddenly their fortunes have changed.

The wheels look to have come all the way off the Hillary bus.

HerRoom has created and compiled over 30 videos featuring High-Impact Sports Bras so you can see for yourself how they react in a real-life situation.

I'm not sure what to say about this one, but I was amused?

While you would think this might be an isolated incident for this part of upstate New York, in 2005, Sandra Geisel, a teacher at Christian Brothers Academy in nearby Albany, “did it” with a 16-year old in the press box of the football stadium (thereby fulfilling several male fantasies at once.)

Sandra Geisel

Geisel did her time and is classified as a Level 1 sex offender in the state of New York (And a Level 10 MILF IMHO). However, be careful is you want a ride home because she got busted for DWI AFTER she fulfilled her 16 year old student’s wildest fantasies. Her lawyer once claimed that she couldn’t have raped the 16 year old because she was too drunk to giver her consent when it happened. (Now, THAT’S a lawyer.)

Oh the huma... hilarity!

New Education Policy?

Now -- the Republicans have created a meter on their website to track the increases in government spending. You guys ran the government for 6 years. You had complete control. YOU GOT US INTO THIS MESS IN THE FIRST PLACE. SHUT THE HELL UP.

Stewart is very good at breaking things down, here's his latest installment of what sort of hell the GOP has stuck us with for eternity, and what it means.

Hale "Bonddad" Stewart: Obama's Economic Plan is Unworkable

Now that the nominating process is up, I wanted to record my expectations for the general election (mostly so I can point and go "SEE!").

If we get Obama-McCain:
Obama gets the usual democratic areas, New England (maybe dropping like New Hampshire or Vermont, someone up there always seems to go against the grain for some reason) and the left coast. He also gets all the states that stayed in the Union in 1861, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky or Missouri could flip, but the rest are solid blue, and taking three out of four of those states would not surprise me. He also picks up 2-3 from the normally red south, Florida, Georgia, a Carolina, Louisiana? Finally out west, he might get one or two, but enh. Final count in the electoral college 330-210 or bigger. 350 is easily in reach. Obama wins.

If we get Clinton-McCain:
Clinton gets New England, like Obama, and the left coast. Now things change. Clinton still gets New York and Jersey, but the midwest splits. She loses Missouri and the entire south and west. Final result, 2004 all over again with the winner up in the air. The difference will be close enough that flipping any of Pennsylvania, Ohio or Indiana from the winner to the loser would change the winner. Count in the college, 287-273.

Now, toss a huge event out there (someone nukes a port, W bombs Iran, Black Thursday) and I think things slope even harder to the Democrats side (8 years of you guys and this is the protection you do? F-Off!). McCain needs a Hillary nomination or the second coming.

Feel free to make other predictions!
