here was a not bad chance that the rebel did it. Were it the case, having war with Syria government would be helping the criminals

It's not fair - the less fortunate get all the breaks.

A tax cut on hedge fund captains will fix this.

If you can't grasp that simple fact, you're Leon Trotsky.

Where are all the amazing jobs the job creators promised in 08 and 12?

We just need one more tax cut.

We're almost there.

All the other tax cuts for the wealthy didn't do it, but the THEORY cannot be wrong. Conservatism cannot fail - it can only be failed.

Do not weaken - we are on the threshold of untold wealth, and love and happiness forever!

There is never 100% proof in a situation like this. But lets say there was 100% proof that Assad did this. The question is, do we care? The answer in America seems to be no, not really our problem.

Yep, I don't see our interest here.

100% is impossible, but right now we're looking at rumors passed along by a government which for some reason is really interested in replacing secular tyrants with religious fanatics, even though their worst terrorist attack in history came from these religious fanatics and not secular tyrants like Ghaddafi, Hussein, and Assad.

This some government loves the autocrats of Qatar, Bahrain, UAE, and Saudi Arabia - although these same states are the biggest funders and supporters of radical fanatics, who would be minor gadflys without oil money behind them and their Madrassahs.

The US couldn't be arsed to stand up against the slaughter of the Shi'ite Majority by the Sunni minority in Bahrain. Sec. of State Clinton said "Oh that's bad, so sad", which was the limit of our reaction to the butchery of ordinary Bahrainis.

How many people are gunned down on a daily basis in Libya these days? I would be surprised if the death toll attributed to violence is well beyond 1400 YTD there. Almost no oil is being exported because of the chaos, only the oil dealers benefit from reduced supply.

Gun, Gas, Bomb, Piano dropped from a Window on someone's head it's all dead.

Boca Area Realtor Urinates On Self, Lunges At Cops
http://bocanewsnow.com/2012/10/03/update-boca-area-realtor-urinates-on-self-lunges-at-cops/

Boca Raton area Realtor William Sohl was found passed out near Blue Martini at Town Center Mall and had apparently urinated on himself in the early hours of Saturday. When awoken by a police officer, Sohl allegedly jumped up and assaulted the officer and his partner who responded by using force and a taser.

The officers suffered minor injuries. Sohl, whose website says he works for Re/Max, was transported to Boca Raton Regional Hospital to have the taser “prongs” removed...

Good ole Elizabeth Warren she sure fixed the predator financial systems good, ditint She?

Someone give the cunt a medal.

I browsed Craigslist this morning, and it does appear as if price-to-rent is favoring renting (by a lot) at this point. Examples on the Peninsula:

http://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/apa/4052565647.html
$5k/mo but would sell for $1.7m at least

http://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/apa/4051250832.html
$4.5k/mo but would sell for $1.4m at least

http://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/apa/4043747810.html
$4.5k/mo but would sell for $1.6m at least

I'm not sure I would buy a place today, unless I really, really wanted to own my house for reasons other than financial.

Such and easy way to tell the state of our workforce. How come it took so long for me to see or hear of these figures.

25.2 would be the ratio is this case in terms of annual rents. Problem is as follows - $54,000 needs to be forked over in rent. Not very wise to do that it my opinion. Better to buy a cheaper property with under 20 annual rents ratio.

Call it Crazy says

Can only mean one thing... There will be 30% MORE cash buyers...

Or less buyers....

It certainly means less Wells Fargo employees.

Haha, these prices are an absolute joke. That 3rd posting is a piece of shit house that is not on a million dollar lot. The only shred of hope that bulls are holding onto is that Asian cash is going to come in. Give me one good reason that an Asian with 1.5 million cash would waste it on this joke. And don't say proximity to jobs, because an Asian with 1.5 million cash is not looking for a job.

Waste of money, I agree.

donjumpsuit says

Personally, if I am doing the math.

I would rather buy a $350k house with 10% mortgage

than a

$700k house with a 3.5% mortgage.

#1. I don't pay some loser an over inflated amount for a house because the monthly is more affordable.

#2. At least with a 10% mortgage I get a tax break AND lower property taxes.

WAKE THE FUCK UP.

Yes then you can refi when the rates drop. Can't refi when you start at 3%

RentingForHalfTheCost says

JH says

Because they were told by the realtor that it will be valued at 2.5m in a few years. Then another fool comes and buys for 2.5m because he was told it will go to 4.0m, etc. etc. Sounds like a ponzi scheme to me. Don't look for real value, because that isn't part of the scheme. If people believe they will make money, then they will risk their fortune to get it. It is a American dream.

Yes this drives investment bubbles. It is not sustainable, however...

The data is very noisy, so it doesn't make sense to focus on the most recent down leg. Egads is asking a fair question by making a year on year comparison, which at least addresses the variability from seasonal factors. If you do YOY comparisons for any of the months represented, you will see that 2013 is better than 2012 in every case. More historical data would be useful in determining what the seasonal patterns are.

The question I have is why is the withholding (black line) so noisy while the wage disbursement is a lot smoother. I'm sure there is a reason...

WAKE THE FUCK UP.

To clarify, he means buying a $X house at $350k rather than at $700k. Just because the house is priced at $700k doesn't make it worth that much.

If lazy assholes would get 2nd & 3rd part time jobs, we could pay off the national debt,fund SS,Medicare & DOD for 100 years & cut taxes to 1% on all corps. from the increased revenue.

I need to keep up with the "Verizons". I'm borrowing all I can to overpay for overpriced housing. Debt is good because nothing can go wrong.

I just received certification:I'm an Idiot.

All the YOY in this graph are greater in 2013. Therefore, the following statement in the article doesn't justify the thesis of the article:

"Since many high-earning professionals such as attorneys and accountants are self-employed, the earnings reported by the self-employed are significant. The self-employed have some control over when and how they report earnings, and many chose to report income in late 2012 rather than in 2013 to avoid the tax increases that kicked in on January 1, 2013."

While it's an interesting way to determining employment rate, the graph is too narrow...needs to include several more years, including some time during a previous recession recovery.

This graph shows economic recovery from 2012 to 2013.

Actually, he is looking more like a tin horn George W. Bush.

If he secures the chemical weapons he will be way ahead in the global arena.

I'll look at the Assad interview, but it's looking like a diplomatic win for Obama.

It's a win for Putin. Obama has to go along. Win - The Russian Bear. Loss - Big bluster Obama.

This proposal allows Obama to get out of a losing situation that he himself engineered. He looks like a moron.

I saw a photo of George and his wife standing side by side in court. The only way I could tell them apart was George wasn't the one with long hair. They could be twins.

It's amazing how much weight he's put on since he got off of his drug addiction (amphetamines). Looks like he's aged about 15 years too.

Apparently she's not comfortable being married to a murderer.

There are no wins in the middle east, only degrees of losing.

Attacked by his ex-fiancée; attacked by cops; attacked by his wife, his father in-law, and an iPad. Sexually molested by his pre-pubescent niece.

No wonder teen hoodlums attack him: they don't want to be left out.

Now the race-baiters will make this out to be some sort of "issue" Zimmermann has with aggression.

IT's true, we have no way of knowing what the ipad did to him before he smashed it and stabbed it.

HydroCabron says

What color was the ipad ? WE know for sure it was an aggressive ipad that deserved to die. I doubt the color of it had anything to do with it though. I heard someone say, "that ipad was a POS tablet and karma bit it in the ass at a young age." I think that pretty much sums it up.

*edited*

He must run for President!

He was just standing his ground against the ipad.

We can't know for sure what happened between George, his wife, her father, and the iPad, because none of us were there. We'll just never know.

Therefore my conclusions as to his motives and actions are completely supported by the facts, and everyone else is full of shit.

Congress seriously needs to impeach Obama's ass and throw Kerry in prison as a treasonous war criminal.

You should all just shut up about Zimmermann. Anyone is free to molest a child, assault a fiancée, assault a cop, murder a kid in a hoodie, and brandish a weapon at relatives. If you think you can pay your employees better while doing so, then there's nothing stopping you.

Therefore, no one has any right to criticize him.

Checkmate, race baiters!

Geraldo Rivera is saying that maybe this will serve as a wake up call to young electorincs devices to not go around intentionally looking like they are dangerous or up to no good.

Some are saying that the ipad may have had the CNN website open on it at the time, or worse, PBS. That is suspicious.

Must everyone just pile on to this murderer like he's Walmart or a realtor, judging him before we know that he did anything wrong?

By the way, that iPad, like the rest of them iPads, was going to commit a crime sooner or later.

Exactly: Zimmermann minced forward to do the job the cops wouldn't.

Hey Roberta, where's your blog on that financial blog list??

Hehe. Actually he has had some really good writings spot on leading into the crisis, spotted the problems with debt and the FIRE sector early on. He mos-def has been more right about everything than 2 years of housing "recovery" ;)

Its a legitimate point. After all, Charles Hugh Smith was the basis for the infamous 1975 nominal prices by 2014 call made by Dunnross.

In the long and spectacular history of failed housing calls on Pat.net -- this one will go down as the most epic failure of all time.
