Homeowners stuck as lenders cinch standards





"There's a very delicate and difficult balance between getting as many people into houses as you can," Syron says, "and at the same time putting people into houses they can't keep unless home prices are appreciating or interest rates are very low." Hanging in that balance: nearly 400,000 homeowners with subprime ARMs who, like Booker in Chicago, have already missed at least one loan payment and have a lot fewer options now.

This story about a former Marine was on top of Yahoo! news: Duty, honor and curveballs



Good to the Padres for bringing him to camp. Good publicity in a city with a large military presence, yes. But giving him the opportunity he's earned, despite his injuries, is the right thing to do for all sorts of reasons. I don't care about professional sports games.

National Review's Jonah Goldberg in USA Today on Democratic problems relating to national security.



There is no substitute for Victory. I will support anyone who walks the walk correctly in the War on Terror. And I do mean anyone, especially when their opponent does not.
