Wells Fargo erred in thousands of foreclosures

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Wells Fargo admitted Wednesday it made mistakes in the paperwork for thousands of foreclosure cases and promised to fix them. The San Francisco-based bank said it plans to refile documents in 55,000 of the cases by mid-November. The company said not all those cases included errors but didn't say how many thousands did. Wells Fargo described the mistakes as technical and said it has no plans to halt the foreclosure process, though filing new paperwork will cause some delays. "We don't believe that there are instances in which the foreclosures would not have occurred otherwise," said Teri Schrettenbrunner, a Wells Fargo spokeswoman. The documents are being refiled in the 23 states where a judge's approval is needed to complete a foreclosure.

Dairy: 6 Reasons You Should Avoid It at All Costs

These days, it seems like almost everybody does. Celebrities, athletes, and even former president Clinton's head of Health and Human Services, Donna Shalala, are all proud to wear the white "milk mustache." After all, everyone knows that you need milk to be healthy ... Dairy is nature's perfect food -- but only if you're a calf. If that sounds shocking to you, it's because very few people are willing to tell the truth about dairy. In fact, criticizing milk in America is like taking on motherhood, apple pie, or baseball. But that's just what I'm about to do.

Serena Williams Wins 2010 Australian Open

MELBOURNE, Australia — Serena Williams won her second straight Australian Open championship, ending Justine Henin's hopes of a Grand Slam title in her return from retirement with a 6-4, 3-6, 6-2 victory Saturday. Williams withstood a determined challenge from Henin before securing her fifth Australian Open title overall and 12th Grand Slam singles championship overall, tying Billie Jean King. King was at the stadium on Saturday night to take part in a pre-match ceremony to honor the 40-year anniversary of Margaret Court's four Grand Slam tournament wins in 1970. "Billie, we are tied," Williams said. "So I've reached my goal."

The "Censored Eleven" Problem Posted by Emru Townsend

For years (and years, and years) I've been reading the same tired arguments about racist cartoons, particularly those that use black stereotypes. In light of a recent re-emergence of the discussion, Thad Komorowski has nailed the other complaint that I've never fully given voice to: that many cartoon fans, in their desire to own these films, have bent over backwards to claim that these films are not racist. Because, let's face it, they most emphatically are. If a joke is being made with the understanding that something is funny because a character is black, then it's racist. It's a pretty simple equation. (And please spare me the "I have a black friend who loves these cartoons" argument; I think Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarfs is one of the funniest, snappiest, and most brilliant cartoons Bob Clampett ever directed, but denying that it's entirely built around racist imagery is like denying gravity.)

Allee Willis’ Kitsch O’ The Day – An UNBELIEVABLE 21st Night Of September!

Yes, it was the opening line of my very first hit and it was the greatest way ever to celebrate the opening of The Allee Willis Museum Of Kitsch with bad karaoke versions of the song and have Verdine White and Larry Dunn, original members of Earth Wind & Fire who played on “September” and every other EWF classic, back up me and Luenell, the hysterical hooker from Borat, on a $39 1981 Casio MT-65 and a 1965 knock-off Apollo bass. We proceeded straight into “Boogie Wonderland” with hundreds of people in attendance at Ghettogloss singing along. It was that scrumptious combination of the very highest form of the art smashed together with the very lowest that made this aKitschionado’s heart spinnnnnnnn out of control!

A Snake, Afterall, is a Snake

Last month, Hyatt Hotels Corp. fired 98 housekeepers, many of them veteran employees who made $15-per-hour, and replaced them with $8-per-hour "temporary" workers provided by Hospitality Staffing Solutions, an outsourcing firm in Atlanta. While the details are murky, and Hospitality Staffing Solutions has refused to respond to this correspondent's repeated request for specifics, at least some of these new employees are reportedly "guest workers'' on H-2B visas. The guest workers were trained by the Hyatt veterans, who were told the new recruits were not replacements, but part-timers who would "fill in" for sick and vacationing permanent workers. According to union officials, after successfully training the new workers, the Hyatt veterans were told to clean out their lockers for "health purposes." They gamely did so. The next day they were told to hit the road.

'For Colored Girls' Who Don't Like Tyler Perry He's just not good enough for Ntozake Shange.

Getting his hot little hands on Ntozake Shange’s 1975 play For Colored Girls who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf was coup of the year for Tyler Perry. Not only will he produce and direct the upcoming film version, the King of Coonery will also write the adaptation of what may be the most important work about black female identity ever. Ask any black woman, especially the artsy/moody/self-aware type, about For Colored Girls … and she will respond with a wistful look and fond memories.

Is Lou Dobbs, CNN's Resident Bigot, on His Way Out? By Don Hazen, AlterNet. Posted 9/29/09

The heat on CNN to dump right-wing nativist news host Lou Dobbs has reached a boiling point. Several grassroots and Internet campaigns urging CNN to drop Dobbs in response to his relentless hate-talk are gathering momentum and tens of thousands of signatures. Will Dobbs finally be stopped from using his on-air bully pulpit to bash immigrants and spread misleading and inaccurate information? One major anti-Dobbs campaign, Basta Dobbs.com, calls Dobbs the "most dangerous man for Latinos in America."

What's the Border Fence Good for? Subsidizing Mexican Scrap Metal Entrepreneurs

Last week, the Government Accountability Office released a depressing audit of the US-Mexico border fence we’ve been trying to put up for the past three years. The report caused about 8 hours of pretend outrage and was promptly forgotten. It found that we’d already shoveled $2.4 billion to half-seal 600 miles of the border since 2005 (we still have about 100 to 200 miles to go) and we would need to spend an additional $6.5 billion over the next 20 years just plugging up holes punched in the fencing.

Burning Questions for the Authors of 'Marijuana Is Safer'

AlterNet: In Marijuana Is Safer, you compare and contrast the relative harms and legal status of marijuana and alcohol. So, in what ways is marijuana safer? Steve Fox: Marijuana is safer than alcohol in virtually every way that matters. First, marijuana is far less toxic. Alcohol, quite literally, is a poison. That is why excessive alcohol use often causes vomiting. The body is rejecting the poison. And, as most people know, consuming too much alcohol can result in an overdose death. Marijuana, on the other hand, is virtually non-toxic to healthy cells and major organs. In fact, the active components in marijuana – known as cannabinoids -- actually mimic chemicals naturally produced by the body (so-called endocannabinoids) that are necessary for the maintenance of proper health. Further, unlike alcohol, marijuana does not depress the central nervous system, making an overdose impossible, regardless of how much a person consumes. (There are no recorded marijuana overdose cases in history.) Beyond overdose deaths, the U.S. government estimates that consumption of alcohol is the primary cause of about 35,000 American deaths annually. And those are deaths attributed just to the adverse health impacts of alcohol ingestion on the body – not deaths from alcohol-induced accidents or incidents. The comparable government figure for marijuana deaths is zero. CLICK The pic for full article.

Why Is iTunes Selling White Supremacy?

iTunes has removed songs deemed homophobic, yet allows white supremacists to peddle their hate on their website. “Let’s see out the Fuhrer’s dream/To break the back of the eternal jew/Rid the world of the evil we’ve seen/Make it safe for me and you.” -- From “Under the Hammer” by Brutal Attack “When the battle is over and the victory is won/And the White man’s lands are owned by true white people/the traitors will all be gone.” -- From “White Warriors” by Skrewdriver If you thought such unabashedly bigoted music was available only from underground sources, you’d be wrong. With a few clicks at Apple’s iTunes website, Internet users can buy albums and songs from white supremacist groups such as Bully Boys, Final War, Stormtroop 16 and H8Machine.......Click the Flick for the whole story

Subject: 2 Chronicles 7:14

When we were in Texarkana last week, there were signs in people's yards
that said, " America , prayer our only hope" with 2 Chron. 7:14
underneath. We certainly need God's help!

I have no idea who started this, but I certainly agree with this e-mail. I
heard a preacher on TV tonight that said if we will pray for our nation that
things will turn around

After a day of contemplation and soul searching, I have decided to reach
out to my friends and relatives and ask you to do something that has been
troubling me for a long time.

Our nation is/has been on the slippery slope for a long time. If you look
around you will find corruption, greed, moral decay, and a steady move
away from the things that made us great. The principles upon which this
nation was founded are no longer our backbone. However, we can reverse
this trend.

2 Chron. 7:14 In God's word he states,"If my people who are called by my
name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their
wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and
heal their land."

I am convinced that we must pray for our nation and its leaders and ask
for forgiveness. So I ask you to join me in this plea to our Lord.

Would you please send this to people in your address book (send it to all
of them); ask them to pray EVERYDAY. (25 to the 5th power is
9,765,625 people.) IMAGINE if each person reaches TEN others...or all
TWENTY FIVE!

If you do and they comply, we will lift up millions and millions of
prayers a day to our Creator. He will hear us and in faith will answer.

Let me just add a quote from Ronald Reagan "If we ever forget that we are
one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under." I truly
believe this is why the United States of America is in the shape we are in
today. Most people have forgotten that we are one nation under God! Let us
as Christians stand up and remind people of this ~ Have a blessed day!

--"Live simply, love generously,
care deeply, speak kindly, and
leave the rest to God."

They're Baaaaccckkk!!!

Let me tell you about Fatty James. When I had my podcast radio show on Blackflix.com Fatty James was one of the first cd's I wanted to feature on my show! I truly love all the songs.
