Don't Blame All Borrowers  —  After more than a decade of steep growth, home prices peaked last year and have been falling rapidly.  Over 9 million mortgages are “under water,” meaning that more is owed on them than the home is worth.  As foreclosures mount, additional homes come on the market …

Dylan Does Obama  —  I found this brilliant riff on Bob Dylan's Memphis Blues — The Obama Variations — at the Althouse blog.  She knew she had to share it.  But she felt compelled to apologize for sounding anti-Obama, and pointed out that she considered him first in the flawed field.
