someone in the audience might pass this on to krugman - ray lesser says in this month's f.t. that cleveland has solved their homeless problem - there are so many abandoned houses that the homeless just move into them.
the only problem is that many of these homes have had all the copper stripped for scrap - homeowners are now putting signs in their windows reading "no copper - pvc pipes only" to discourage scavengers.

ah, here's that story on cleveland i was mentioning:
Since George W. has been running the show in Washington, Ohio lost about 250,000 manufacturing jobs. Not surprisingly, we're also at the epicenter of the home foreclosure crisis.
This latest crisis has had some positive effects. There are apparently many fewer homeless people sleeping on Cleveland city streets this winter. Instead, they have taken to living in some of the 15,000 homes that are currently vacant due to foreclosure. The downside is that organized gangs of men are breaking into vacant houses and stripping them of their copper wiring and pipes. There is a growing world demand for copper, mostly coming as the result of the manufacturing boom in China. So it has become profitable for some of the multitude of laid-off workers here to strip out the few salvageable parts of their grandparents' and parents' legacies of solidly built homes, and sell them for scrap. This enables Chinese workers to manufacture video game systems, iPods, and other electronic gizmos to keep us occupied until all our money (and copper plumbing) runs out. In the same way that we used to put signs on our cars that said "No Radio" to stave off thieves who would break the windows just to get at the car stereo, vacant Cleveland homes now carry signs saying, "No Copper. All PVC Pipes," in an attempt to stave off looters.

i love when trolls say "the fact is" and then depart into fantasy land.
The fact is that John McCain is a maverick who single-handedly shot his way out of a North Vietnamese prison and liberated some 200 of his fellow POWs, then led them on a heroic trek to freedom.

During his speech last night at George Washington University, Karl Rove was interrupted by a group of protesters who unfurled a banner reading “War Criminal.” The protesters were heckled by some in the audience. A couple of Rove supporters shouted “tase them” to the protesters.
Later on, a student asked Rove why some of his detractors believe he is a “fundamentally bad human being.” Rove joked, “First of all, the tail and the horns are retractable.” “I don’t know! I’m a myth,” Rove explained. “I mean, I’m like Grendel of Beowulf; I’m not often seen but people talk about me a lot. I don’t know.” Watch it:

RIVERSIDE, Ohio (AP) -- Police say a pastor who was reported missing from his home in western New York has been found at an Ohio strip club.
A police officer patrolling the K.C. Lounge parking lot Friday morning in the Dayton suburb of Riverside spotted out-of-state license plates on 46-year-old Craig Rhodenizer's car.
The FBI and New York authorities had been searching for Rhodenizer, who disappeared Wednesday after telling his wife he was getting his computer fixed at Best Buy. He is the pastor of a church in Lyndonville, N.Y.
Detective Matt Sturgeon said Rhodenizer was disoriented when confronted by police and said he felt "emotionally guilty."

If the police are answering inquiries about the case they should say, "he's been found, he is safe, and his family knows where he is now."

Echidne is speaking about health care and the different approaches of Clinton and Obama. The proposals of each are pretty good in the sense of political feasibility, less so in terms of the underlying economic theories because there still will be unmet need among certain classes of people. We'll save some money because ER care will be cut back, but the savings won't counteract the higher cost of universal national health care (around $100 billion a year). Obama doesn't have the "individual mandate," meaning having to buy insurance; Clinton's proposal does have that. Obama would have mandatory health care only kids. However, his proposal will cause young people to wait until they need the health care, then apply for it, since there are no pre-existing conditions. Meanwhile, McCain is basically saying, no new health care, just cut costs.
Echidne continues: there ought to be universal, single-payer health care. The thing that makes it cheaper in other countries is that the one buyer or payer can negotiate better deals alone. Of course there are costs, and we may not be able to cover everything realistically.
I'm voting for echidne in November.

Another student asked Rove whether he would still support the Iraq war if he knew then what he knows now. “It is what it is,” Rove said, showing no remorse for his involvement in leading the nation into Iraq.
But no one said "fuck," so the media can still line up to marry McCain with dignity.
