As you know, there has been a "move your money" movement and the OWS occupation of Wall Street. Big banks, Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan have recently reported a big drop in profits. The smaller regional banks are doing okay. (Yes, there are some like Citibank where things are getting better, but they really had no other direction to go as they had already bottomed out). I just want to congratulate the 99% for making a difference on Wall Street and in Wisconsin.& ...

Transocean noted "the tragic loss of life" in the Gulf when the rig operated by BP PLC exploded last April.

when a woman was told to take down her display of the American flag in a hospital because it offened her supervisor from Africa.

HOST: Plenty of pundits, Rob, are suggesting that GOP lawmakers might be dragging their heels when it comes to trying to turn it around in fears that it might actually help the president. Are you buying that? GRAY: Well, I’m not buying that they’re dragging their heels. I am buying that they’re rooting against the economy somewhat because they think that the short-term pain of, you know, the next four months is much better than having additional four years of pain unde ...

Just wanted to share some good news. If you applied for a loan modification and were refused one and/or were foreclosed on (or threatened with foreclosure) in 2009 or 2010 you are more than likely getting some restitution from your lender, anywhere from $500 to $125,000, depending on the circumstance.

By John ByrneFriday, February 12th, 2010 -- 9:45 am If no health care overhaul passes Congress, health insurers may be in for a windfall -- and one far larger that most Americans probably realize.

The insurers including Wellpoint, UnitedHealth, Cigna, Aetna and Humana, which cover the majority of Americans with insur ...

I saw a commercial for this sandwich and have become obsessed with trying it, so my husband just left to go get us one. Anyone try it yet?

Last week there was a post taking me to task for a term I used to describe Donald Trump. The reason I couldn't answer was that I was temporarily banned from the board. It's obvious that I don't like Donald Trump, think he is unqualified to be president and an embarassment to this country. However, the reason for the name-called, which I have discontinued in agreement with the new rules of the board is that for eight years the Obamas have been called some very off ...
