http://www.mbaa.org/NewsandMedia/PressCenter/66626.htm
“The delinquency rate includes loans that are at least one payment past due but does not include loans somewhere in the process of foreclosure. The percentage of loans in the foreclosure process at the end of the third quarter was 2.97 percent, an increase of 22 basis points from the second quarter of 2008 and 128 basis points from one year ago. The percentage of loans in the process of foreclosure set a new record this quarter.”

“Accusing a pastor of lining his pockets in such a sale IS an accusation of fraud, which is a serious matter.”

Accusing me of accusing the pastor IS a serious matter!!!
“How would you like to be the subject of such a public accusation in such a forum?”
I think I am the subject.
I just got off the phone with my lawyer.
He said we’ll sue Benson, for defamation.
Mr. B. What is the legal issue regarding anything posted anonymously on a blog and directed at a specific knowable person (as opposed to just another moron posting anonymously)?
And does it get murky if two posters have actually met each other and know each others’ identity like maybe if they met at, oh I don’t know, Union Hall???
And then there’s the fine line of celebtrity status or “public person” like the What. I suppose we can call him whatever we want and the slander laws don’t apply.
I digress. just answer the first question if you can.
“I am sick and tired of how folks like BRG have allowed the commentary on this site to degrade. As I put it in one of my comments: one day she’ll be talking with Biff or DIBS about truffles and dildos, another day she’s accusing a pastor of fraud, without even attempting to offer some evidence.”
Wow I saw that crap and was shocked that Brownstoner didn’t put it in check!
I said before Brownstoner has “jumped the shark” and trying to inflame issues!
“I haven’t seen it here since the Atlantic Ave Armory/shelter issue and maybe the HOD…which is why many threads degrade into truffle and dildo chat with a smatttering of What crap.”
See Dave I rant about issue that relevant to Real Estate, the economy and the Mutant Asset Bubble. You and your friends hijack post talking about Dildos and other crap!
“Good, bad or otherwise BRG’s comments are nothing more than her personal opinion.”
Now we look out for one of our own??!! The Asshats crew Dave, Biff, BRG, THL, 11233 and 11217 spews nothing but gibberish! Maybe they are seeing their world implode!
Here read this Asshats! People are losing their jobs this month, en masse!!!
U.S. Economy: Employers Eliminate 533,000 Jobs, Most Since 1974
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aLgwfpZSD.R0&refer=home
Dec. 5 (Bloomberg) — U.S. companies slashed payrolls last month at the fastest pace in 34 years as the economy headed for its deepest and longest recession since World War II.
Employers cut 533,000 jobs, bringing losses so far this year to 1.91 million, the Labor Department said today in Washington. November’s drop exceeded all 73 forecasts in a Bloomberg News survey. The unemployment rate rose to 6.7 percent, the highest level since 1993.
“It’s unbelievable,†said Nariman Behravesh, chief economist at IHS Global Insight in Lexington, Massachusetts. “We’re well on our way to the worst recession of the postwar period.â€
I suggest the commentary should be about how to protect yourself during a DEPRESSION because that’s where we are going..
