Interesting, entertaining musing from an author (former journalist, screenwriter) who closed on his house purchase the day the market first crashed, Lehman collapsed and the world seemed to be spinning out of control. Fun stuff, I think, as well as containing some provocative, amusing & dead-on observations.

      Good for you, I don't know why anyone would call it bad timing to buy a home.

Seem like you did and congratulations, lensview, this was an excellent time to buy.

        This is the best paragraph in the whole article:

        "My point? The economy sucks. Corporate greed and incompetence and lack of accountability suck. Government greed and incompetence and lack of accountability also suck."

          Love the take on Greenspan. Not enough said about him and his failure.
