As if the driving down to the keys was not dangerous enough already. The article has left me amazed at some people’s judgment. Most importantly, what kind of ex husband drives his ex-wife to see another man and then tries to take blame for her crime?

Something to keep in mind as July 1st quickly approaches. As of July 1st you will have to opt-in with your bank if you want overdraft protection. This means your bank can not automatically cover the overdraft amount and then you charge you the overdraft service fee. For people who have a hard time maintaining a check book this could significantly help them avoid significant losses to their banking institution as a result of overdraft service fees.

17% of homeowners went from paying on time to default, without a spotty payment history. No one ever imagined we would live in a world where people would simply walk away from the homes they purchased, whether it was their personal residence or an investment property. In fact, much of the speculation on the housing market had the underlying assumption that real estate was one of the safer investments.

Isn’t it a little ironic that the same law that the Democrats changed in 2004 is what lost them the Massachusetts Senate seat in such a dire time?

(The Democrats, fearing Mitt Romney would appoint a Republican Senator if Kerry were to win the presidential election and vacate his Senate seat in 2004, submitted a bill to change the law to require a special election within 145-160 days after a Senate seat becomes vacant. Even more ironic is that Kennedy was instrumental in that change. Even more ironic is that they’d still hold that seat if the previous law was upheld.)

While the economy will continue to be one of the largest factors affecting elections in the short term, this ruling by the Supreme Court may end up being the largest factor affecting all future elections.

It is great that the parties were able to come to an amicable solution so quickly. Will be interesting to see what other terms of the agreement come to light and whether any other restrictions were placed on Conan for his post NBC career because non-compete clauses always have to be very carefully drafted and strictly tailored in order to be enforced by the courts (at least in Florida).
