More Diana Dirt
Diana may be dead, but apparently her character remains alive and well as the media leap on yet another opportunity to profit from her demise by publicizing the existance and selling price of Diana's love letters to Hewitt, her former lover.

Most people Diana has trusted have betrayed her, either before or after her death. That's pretty amazing. It just goes to show you that personal integrity doesn't appear on a resume, even of the very best and most highly recommended. And being royal doesn't make you a good judge of character. I wonder how many other royalty remoras are out there, crouching to profit from the collapse and supernova of the next member of that family whose popularity exceeds assigned levels.

Huh?
Trust, Respect, Communication, and Honesty. Now why didn't anyone tell me that these were the foundation blocks for all true friendships and successful relationships?

The Economy, Stupid
With US unemployment up to 6%, and with the Fed unable to lower interest rates much more, The Shrub (George. W. Bush) is going to learn that unemployed people care less about fighting terrorism than they do about making the next mortgage payment. November is a favorite time for companies to lay off people.
What good is buying a home and paying a gargantuan mortgage when you can be tossed out on the street if you lose your job and the bank forecloses? What good is a low interest rate loan when it spurs demand, which overinflates the price of the house so your payment remains the same? Then, you can't even deduct as much because the part of the payment that goes to interest is lower! That house isn't worth that much! People will figure it out when the interest rates rise, demand drops, and the house value drops with it. Of course, the overall payment will remain the same, natch. Meanwhile, the newly unemployed will be declaring bankrupcy when they learn they can't sell their homes for the overinflated price they paid.
