  1. A politician who uses a ghost writer. I’m shocked, SHOCKED,I tell ya.

    Slopefarm, you do remember that when Hillary Clinton wrote her puff piece “It Takes a Village”, she didn’t have the courtesy to acknowledge her ghost writer on the cover page?

    MWA HA HA HA!

  2. Funny DIBS. The papers were full of quotes yesterday from sources close to Palin talking about how hands on she was, how these are her real words, etc. No one was willing to come out and say she wrote the thing, but they tried to imply it without lying. Sounded like a bunch of realtors.

    happy to play along if it gets lechacal (and Palin’s wink) back.

  3. M4L;

    I just saw your question above regarding mortgages.

    Here is the general rule:

    Homes that are 1-3 family are considered “private”,and fannie mae and freddie mac will buy their mortgage on the secondary market. The down payment required varies from 10 to 20%, depending on your credit score.

    Homes that are 4 families or more are considered commercial/investment. Mortgages on these homes are not underwritten by Freddie or Fannie, and are thus more strict. Usually 30% down is required, and the interest rate is usually 0.5% higher than that of conventional single-family home mortgages.
