Thank you, Mark Jackson." seriously, this was the weirdest comment of the night. rondo warmed up after a while, although he should never again be allowed to attempt that roller that he was, like, 1-5 on last night. “11:11 - If you were wondering, John Havlicek is the definition of regal.

And I think the converse is true as well.” Barack Obama seems to agree with Tazo….from the NYTimes 3/29/08:

He is a pretty good Senator, but his complacency re: the Keating Five and his Nixon-like fixation on "winning" in Iraq are independently sufficient reasons not to vote for him. "Skewed moral compass" nothing. McCain has demonstrated over the last year that a man who labels his campaign the "straight talk express" can be both unwilling to discuss his past and have the moral flexibility to flop around almost as much as Mitt Romney. He's just not getting the kind of press attention that Romney got. Kevin Drum had something about this recently in the Washington Monthly. furthermore, do not dare think that Hillary's remaining in the race and our current president's campaign have anything in common. The biggest knock on george bush was (and I keep saying this, but by god it's true) his involvement with the texas rangers, in which he allowed a minority stake to be bought by his fellow owners for massive profit. His hail-fellow-well-met casualness towards the moral necessities of his job and the nation's standing in the world are nothing like Clinton's resolve to not let this nomination go. The clintons are a hugely successful political pair because they have been willing to get in the mud and roll around with all the distasteful aspects of what it means to succeed at all costs; this makes them nothing more than successful modern Democrats (see: the Daley family). but they have NOTHING on the amorality demonstrated by the current occupant of the white house. take it back. don’t you dare. don’t you dare think that anything excuses McCain’s habits.

I got to it circuitously -- every once in a while I check to see if Tazo has written anything, then click on your blog on his list, and then her on your list. I would say she knows more than anyone else in the whole entire world about several things, INCLUDING how real estate markets work. I just wish she could fix them as well as zero in on what's happening. Reading her chronicles and then the mortgage blog tempts me to put fingers to keyboard, but she writes SO WELL. Back to the task at hand. I was thrilled to discover her Chronicles on your list.
