  1. From Politco (Arena discussion): “Sen Lieberman (I-Conn.) is taking heat on MSNBC opinion shows, in liberal blogosphere and among civil libertarians and others for his proposal Tuesday that would amend a decades-old law aimed at yanking citizenship from U.S. citizens who fight for a foreign military….Critics contend such a law would allow people to be stripped of citizenship by presidential fiat rather than due process”

    At least some others are troubled by this turncoat’s pronouncements.

  3. Wealthy Greeks Lift Prices of Luxury Homes in London

    May 5 (Bloomberg) — Wealthy Greeks helped push up London luxury-home prices at the fastest rate in two years as they seek a “safe haven” from their country’s sovereign debt crisis, Knight Frank LLP said in an e-mailed statement today.
    Prices of houses and apartments costing more than 1 million pounds ($1.52 million) rose about 21 percent in April from a year earlier, the biggest gain since April 2008, the London- based real-estate broker said in an e-mailed statement today.
    Prices rose 1.3 percent during the month.
    Greeks now account for 6 percent of all purchases of properties costing more than 2 million pounds, double the level of a year ago, as they try to protect their assets during the country’s economic troubles.
    “Greek buyers have been especially active and have been competing hard for the limited number of high-quality properties currently available,” Rupert des Forges, a partner in Knight Frank’s Knightsbridge office, said in the statement. “There has been a real trend for wealthy Greek families to invest in U.K.
    property for a variety of reasons, but the safe haven driver is a big one.”
