Tea Party is NOT a GOP event

Much like the parents that listen to rap music and go emo to be “cool” with their kids, the GOP has tried to adopt the recent tea party movement as their own and use it for their own means.

Blogging Fingers’ Holiday Pump and Dump: Ethical?

Is it ethical to pump a new blog over the holidays and then selling it based on the best 30 days of income? Isn't there something wrong with selling the blog based on income that will arguably be higher than any other month of the year. It just seems like there's something wrong with it. And would you buy a blog based on those numbers?

Modular Homes. Same as Mobile Homes?

Modular Homes or Mobile Homes? What's the Difference? Lets define the term Mobile Homes. They are so called because they are built offsite and then are moved by truck to the location where they will reside. Thus the Mobile in the mobile home.

modular homes are also built offsite and then moved by truck to the location that they will reside. Using that broad definition, a modular home is indeed a mobile home. For most other purposes, e.g. insurance and mortgage, they are also considered to be a mobile home.

This is a little silly and really should be updated. There are some very significant differences between the two. The first and most important is that a modular home is always placed on a foundation. In some cases, they have a basement as well. Only in a few permanent and rare cases are mobile home placed on a foundation. Instead they can usually be found still on their wheels with a skirt around the bottom of them.

Another difference is in construction. A modular home is built exactly the same way as a conventionally built house. The only difference is the location that they are built. That and they are built in a way that will allow for transportation easily and for connecting the two sides. Once connected, the two sides rarely come undone. Mobile homes on the other hand are a little less stable. They almost always are lacking in the insulation and wall thickness department. And the construction methods are completely different.

In the end, if you're thinking of buying an economical home, you'll be better off with a modular vs. a mobile and only slightly better off with a house built on site. I've lived in all three and while there is a perceivable difference between a mobile home and the other two, it's difficult to tell the difference between a modular and a on site house.

Looking to Refinance your Mortgage?

If you got a mortgage in the last 5 or so years, chances are that you might be looking for a good way to refinance that mortgage. You're probably stuck in a 5/1 arm or some sort of interest-only loan that is about to eat you for lunch.

And chances are you're right. Many of the mortgage loans that have been made in the last few years have given people the chance to own more home than they really can afford. Now that interest rates are up, your payment might just be on the way up too.

Do yourself a favor and look into refinancing today. It just might be the only thing that keeps you out of foreclosure.

Your blog is my bitch

creative criticism should be taken with a grain of salt and used to improve a site, not used against the commentators. If you're going to have a site that is available to the public, you've got to be able to take a little bit of criticism. That's just what it's all about in the public life. If you don't like it, you shouldn't be online.

100,000 Beers Stolen

Two tractor-trailers carrying 70,000 cans and 44,000 bottles of Moosehead Lager were stolen. And of course, the comments on Digg are going crazy. And what do you do with 114,000 cans/bottles of beer? At 12 ounces a can or bottle, that's 1,368,000 ounces of beer. Yowsa. That could be one heck of a party. Story claims that it would take about a year to drink. Pshaw. A week to replenish the stock. Lots of thirsty Canadians this week.

Bad Credit? Bad Credit Offers has a Loan for You!

I'm not one to tell you to go out and get a loan when you've got debt problems. I think it would be silly of you to do so. Why go further into debt when you already have problems?

If, on the other hand, you find yourself recovered from debt problems and in need of a loan, there are several places that can help you. One such place is Bad Credit Offers where you can get a few options for getting bad credit loans. I took a look at the places that are making the offers and they are really pretty reliable and have good reputations. That's good. Avoid payday loans like a bad habit.

Whatever you do, make sure to use debt responsibly. If you can keep it under control and manage your money properly, you can find yourself debt free and not needing it again anytime soon. Good luck, keep your debt and money inline and you'll get ahead. Get behind and you'll find yourself back at a bad credit loaner again in no time.

Happy birthday to me!

Today is my birthday. The big 28. Ever closer to the 3-0 which doesn't seem nearly as old as it used to. Now it just seems kinda old. Spose that's one of those changing perspectives sort of things. I'll be off from work all day and have a nice long weekend to celebrate my oldness.

Apple fanboys get burned. Whiners.

I can't believe you honestly think you should get that extra $200 back for the iPhone. I guess you should have waited a couple of months to buy it eh? At least you get $100 back to spend on more Apple stuff... Cause that's the same as getting the cash back. Or not.

Lapband by Journey Lite

If you are overweight, and there are a very high percentage of people that are, maybe a lapband is what will help. Lapband is essentially a weight loss surgerywhere they cut you open and put an adjustable "band" around your stomach that cuts the capacity of the stomach down. A forced diet if you will.

For some with weak wills that cannot diet on their own, or fall off of the diet wagon, this could be the best option.

It obviously won't be for everyone, and I'm sure that there are restrictions to who can get the surgery. But on the bright side, it is reversible if it doesn't work, or if there are complications. JourneyLite even has a forum, support lines, and support groups along with plenty of information on their website to help you along.

Of course, you really should discuss a surgery of any kind with your doctor and realize that there is no easy surgery and there will be pain and adjustment.

September is coming!

Another summer is about to wrap up and the leaves are changing colors. Fall is here. And with it, Football. American Football to be exact. Time for the gridiron to be painted on the field and the helmets to be polished up.

Pads clashing, helmets crashing, and quarterbacks calling signals. It's all part of the sport. Ain't it great?!?

Rob Zombie Directs the New Halloween Movie!

There's a new Halloween the movie on it's way! And Rob Zombie is the director! I'm just guessing here, but I think this will be the best Halloween movie ever. Ok, so honestly, I'm not old enough to remember most of the movies, but I've seen a few of them and in their day, they were scary.

Rob Zombie will make them look like kiddy movies. Seriously, have you ever seen a movie by Rob? He's good at scary movies. Want more proof? Check out the trailer.



That good enough for you? Looks pretty darn good doesn't it? It would appear to be a "the beginning of" movie that portrays the very beginning of the Michael Myers saga. Really could be quite interesting. The think I really like about it is that you get to see the man behind the mask. Michael Myers becomes a little more human and maybe, just maybe, you sympathize with him just a little. Not enough to really make you like him, but to sympathize with what he went through to become what he is/was. And then Rob Zombie will scare the pants off of you!

The new Halloween the movie is coming August 31st 2007. It could be a "see it in the theater" kind of movie. I've only been to two movies in a theater this year, so that tells you what I think of the movie. The combination of what appears to be a pretty scary movie and the fact that Rob Zombie is directing it is enough to get me excited about it.
