Seeking (Fore)closure 0

Yesterday, I listened to a Diane Rehm show on “The Foreclosure Crisis.” Guests included

  • Tom Deutsch, deputy executive director, American Securitization Forum.
  • Greg Ip, U.S. economics editor, The Economist, and author of “The Little Book of Economics: How the Economy Works in the Real World.”
  • Kathleen Day, spokeswoman, Center for Responsible Lending; ethics teacher at Georgetown University’s graduate program in real estate studies.

Mr. Deutsch demonstrated, in his attempts to defend the banksters, an ability to teach tap dancing to Sammy Davis, Jr., and a superlative skill at dodgeball.

Follow the link to listen to the show.

If you listen to nothing else, fast forward to the 27:21 mark and consider Mr. Deutsch’s attempts to justify the treatment the caller received from the holder of her mortgage.

This website does not track you.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
