Consumer Oriented Carnival of Real Estate



**********




Well, it's not as exciting as repairing an X-Wing in the middle of battle, but the future prospects are a lot more secure: `Star Wars' droid R2-D2 to collect mail

Want to know an undeniable sign that we are a nation in decline? Benefits for seniors eating up kids' share





As a share of the nation's economy, spending on kids would go from 2.6% to 2.1%. By contrast, spending for adults only in Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid -- the major programs that benefit seniors -- would rise from 7.6% to 9.5% of the economy.





If you don't understand what is wrong with this picture, please go take an introductory economics course.



Dear AARP: I turn 50 in the not too distant future. Save your postage. I am not joining. As I've been watching The Dresden Files on Sunday nights (Check it out if you haven't), there have been a couple of astoundingly dishonest advocacy commercials from you. I realize that you're an advocacy group, but there are limits. Even if it's me you're working on behalf of, I want no part of it.

Study links sense of humor, survival



Brings a whole new meaning to the joke about "How many feminists does it take to change a light bulb?"



(If you've never heard it, the answer is, "That's NOT funny")

Sorry, but that's all I've got time for right now. I'm so out of touch with what everybody's written recently that it's not funny. Unfortunately, I'm still in frantic mode, although for mostly good reasons.



On the comments front, the ratio of "real" comments to spam is about 1:4. I'm going to give it a little while longer to improve, but if it stays where it is, I'm going to terminate the experiment of allowing those without comment accounts to leave comments. Of course, once that happens, I'll switch back to comments appearing immediately. If it improves to something approximating 1:1, I'll keep the experiment.
