Links and Minifeatures 08 30 Thursday

This is to clean out the Links and Minifeatures from stuff I've noticed over the past few days.

I've found a forum that might have the information on Movable Type 4 I need. Hoping to have the switch made before next week.

U.S. sees "precarious" year for Iraqi government

The biggest US failure in Iraq has been failing to force the Iraqi government to solve problems, rather than fighting over control.
Of course, we have just a little bit of that problem here at home.

U.S. missile shield is provocation: Austrian minister

Like wearing body armor is provocation for mugging?

The article didn't indicate what reasoning the man might have had. Likely, he doesn't have any. He is the defense minister for a state that might as well not have a military. Don't expect him to be a genius. Expect him to be a political hack, with a lot more concern for what is easy politics right now than for actually defending its citizens.

Mortgages: Smaller Banks Smell Blood

I keep saying there are lenders out there who want to lend money. And I'm always looking for more wholesale providers. Not that it's hard to find them if you know where to look.

Subprime Mortgage Crisis Spreading to High-End Housing Market

If that sounds familiar to you, I wrote about it over three weeks ago as the first entry in Links and Minifeatures 08 09 Thursday. AP's just picking up on it.

Stumble It!

Please be civil. Avoid profanity - I will delete the vast majority of it, usually by deleting the entire comment. To avoid comment spam, a comments account is required. They are freely available, and you can post comments immediately. Alternatively, you may use your Type Key registration, or sign up for one (They work at most Movable Type sites) All comments made are licensed to the site, but the fact that a comment has been allowed to remain should not be taken as an endorsement from me or the site. There is no point in attempting to foster discussion if only my own viewpoint is to be permitted. If you believe you see something damaging to you or some third party, I will most likely delete it upon request.
Logical failures (straw man, ad hominem, red herring, etcetera) will be pointed out - and I hope you'll point out any such errors I make as well. If there's something you don't understand, ask.
Nonetheless, the idea of comments should be constructive. Aim them at the issue, not the individual. Consider it a challenge to make your criticism constructive. Try to be respectful. Those who make a habit of trollish behavior will be banned.
