Archaea is an unknown quantity at this point
Default 58.2 percent of residents in Vegas have negative equity

Whether Obama should prop up mortgages or home prices, but if he were aiming to help those most harmed, he missed the mark as usual.

I think we should reward people that didn't pay a down payment.

Because Obama and I feel bad for them.

Las Vegas is the modern Sodom. Seriously, Archaea, the natural environment is a perfect metaphor for the spiritual barrenness and intellectual and artistic aridity of Las Vegas. It was bound to melt away in the sun. The place gives me a headache everytime I'm there just to be there. I look around and all I see are walking corpses.

Lol, coming from you, I'll take that as the highest compliment.
