More odds and ends

If Everyone’s Finger-Pointing, Who’s to Blame? (Good question!)
By VIKAS BAJAJ
The turmoil in the mortgage markets has incited a wave of legal tangles, as homeowners are suing lenders, lenders are suing banks, banks are suing loan
specialists. And investors are suing everyone. (Let me guess who is profiting)

The fire continues to warm us and that’s a good thing. Apparently, wood is about the only heating fuel you can depend on. I bought the firewood a few months ago and so the price on this particular load of wood has remained the same. But I would imagine that its replacement value has gone up.

And I just read that the editor of the Los Angeles Times has been fired because he wanted to offer more to the readers, while the owners wanted less. The ideal paper? In-depth reporting of the news. Investigative reporting. No ads for chiropractors or snake oil. Brittany and OJ on the back page, if at all.
