Hey Comedy Central Fans I have a book recommendation for you. It is called "The Fall of the House of Bush" by Craig Unger.

The recent release of the NIE report makes this very timely reading!

I am a straw buyer who got cash back on fourteen speculative purchases and I need a bailout fast. Thank you Senator Dodd, you have my vote.

Hey Dodd!!! HELP ME!!! I make 25K a year and thought it was a great idea to buy a 500K home. The lenders (your buddies at the bank) thought it was a good idea too.

Who would have thunk it? Turns out I can't afford this house after all! WAAAAAA…..WAAAA….

My kids and I REFUSE to rent a place. We want to be HOMEDEBTORS gosh darn it!

Please won't you help me screw all those responsible people out there who refused to buy into the overinflated RE market?

It will really help your buddies at the bank too because if you don't help me stay here, you know what I'll do?

I'll squat here the next 6 months without paying my mortgage, save the money and go out and rent a place with the savings after the foreclosure.

Jon Stewart –

Connect the dots, pal! Senator Dodd is posing as a typical Democratic liberal do-gooder, trying to save subprime borrowers from losing their homes. But if you look at the list of his campaign contributors, you get the real picture, as it is Wall Street investment banks who would really take a hit if subprime lending suddenly went out of fashion. It is all about making sure the banking industry's parasites maintain access to their hosts' (read low-income subprime borrowers — blacks, hispanics, etc) blood. And sending a little bit of blood Senator Dodd's way to help him get elected. And of course, he will force anyone who had nothing to do with the subprime disaster to funnel in money to keep Wall Street's scam lending operation going.

I know this sounds depressing, but I have 100% confidence that you and/or Stephen Colbert can find a comedic silver lining in the subprime mess. I am counting on you guys, as my good mood depends on it!

I quit my job 4 years ago with a tech firm to go into real estate. I started off as a Realtor and was making a killing, then eventually starting buying and flipping condos in Miami with interest only loans. I've made over $3 Million in the past 3 years flipping condos, but right now I'm stuck holding 7 condos I can't unload and my loan payments are starting to pile up. I really need to restructure my loans and really hope that Dodd considers professional real estate speculators like me in his bail-out package – we are the ones who take risks and make the economy grow, not those poor working stiffs stuck in the rat race who actually believe that work is noble.

I bought 32 single family homes throughout the Sacramento area with no money down, no doc interest only loans. I have rented the majority of the homes to illegal immigrants. Everything was hunky dory until my mortgages starting re-setting and now I may have to lose some of my homes to foreclosure and go back to work (I was living off the rental income from my illegal immigrant renters). I REALLY, REALLY need this bail out package from Chris Dodd so I don't have to go back to work. DODD, PLEASE BAIL ME OUT FAST!!!

So the name of the game with elections is that a bunch people who know they won't win because the winner was decided way back when,(hint what comes after Bush usually? Right! Clinton. These other people just run make a bunch of promises they will never have to keep and they know that…that's why the promises sound so promising and we send them 1000's of dollars for the next year or so…that they just get to keep? Is that how it works?
