    Housing Bubble?

    Hmm, its not that clear to me. House price = $350000 (median these days in seattle) Going rental rate = $1300 or so for a similar place. 25% tax rate. 4.0% CD rate 0.4% return on real estate. At the end of 4 years you lose about 32K from the sale. But you save around 6K by not paying rent. So net you lose 26K. However if you make the rate of return 2.0% You lose only 4500. And you break even at 5 years. If you wanna go for broke and put in a 7% return. Which we've been averaging in some areas. You break even in about 16 month. And at 3 years you will be about 40K ahead of renting.

    Treasure map

    As seem on Craigs list . . http://seattle.craigslist.com/bar/75351056.html Offered for barter, one (1) treasure map of extraordinary value. Will exchange for the following, or equivalent: 1. $233 worth of free car insurance 2. a hunting rifle valued at $500 or more 3. sufficient food rations for a trans-Pacific ocean journey 4. information on the whereabouts of Jack Blackwell 5. no less than 6 free drink vouchers for the Spar Tree Tavern 6. enough supplies and concrete to build a 400 sq foot underground building "If interested, I'll be waiting at the large meadow on the Green Mtn. shelf 4 miles up FS road 2680." Directions: From Darrington drive north about 5 miles to where Highway 530 crosses the river (don't worry you won't miss it). Instead of following 530 on the far side of the river take Suiattle River Road (Forest Service road 26)about 19 miles to Forest Service road 2680. The trailhead is at the end of this road. this is in or around robe valley

  5. From Sunday’s This Week With George Stephanopoulos: STEPHANOPOULOS: You’ve said that liberals are engaged in an all-out assault on Christianity, that Democrats will appoint judges who don’t share our Christian values and will dismantle Christian culture, and that the out-of-control judiciary . . . is the most serious threat America has faced in nearly 400 years of history, more serious than al Qaeda, more serious than Nazi Germany and Japan, more serious than the Civil War? REV. PAT ROBERTSON: George, I really believe that. I think they are destroying the fabric that holds our nation together. There is an assault on marriage. There’s an assault on human sexuality . . . They’ve taken sides in the culture war . . .

  7. Lactating truckers! - Oh my god!
  8. "You sure we're getting the first ascent?"
  9. Seems like maybe we didn't spend enough tax dollars on this one, . . . . But I guess with the science phobia the Bush Administration has this is to be expected.
  10. The wrestling champ!
  11. Note this, troll: Well that convinces me!
  12. I'll state the obvious . . . . . . Education for all its problems tends to generate open minded thinking people. People who think, naturally migrate toward a liberal perspective. Why? Such a perspective tends to be more sustainable, just, and creates a happier society.
  13. KK - Do you believe in evolution?
  14. People of the United States! We are Unitarian Jihad! We can strike without warning. Pockets of reasonableness and harmony will appear as if from nowhere! Nice people will run the government again! There will be coffee and cookies in the Gandhi Room after the revolution.
  15. Would they have been taken if there were no photographers? In other words if a murder occurs and there are no witnesses, did it really occur?
  16. Peter, would you rather those photos not have been taken? That we wouldn't know of the events that occured?
  17. There is a major difference between Creationism and Science. Creationism suggest that not that evloutionary theory is wrong, but wholy unknowable. Basically it says that there is a truth to the matter that cannot be known. So while it it true that we can't test "Creationist theory", we can't invalidate it either. While we can't re-produce evolution (well, the so-called "macro-evolution", a concept science does not have) we can search for evidence that refutes it. If for instance we found a modern vertebrate fossil in pre-cambrian strata, that would very strongly suggest evolutionary theory is very wrong. The thing is, we don't find that kind of evidence. Much of science cannot be tested. We've never been to the center of the earth. But most science is predictive, something creationism is not. FYI - Did you know one of the biggest, if not the biggest "Intelligent Design" think tanks is in "Enlightened" Seattle? These folks are truly scarry! http://www.discovery.org/
  18. Personally I'd consider the American press nearly the 5th branch of the US military. How rarely do we see ANY evidence on the killing going on over there? You can be sure to see the sterile pictures of tomahawks streaming off the decks of ships safely in the Indian ocean. Or but take one picture of flag draped coffins and all hell breaks loose. We're we to have a free press I can assure you, there would be many more images of the killing going on. An I for one would welcome it! Congratulations are in order for Pulitzer. One of the few organizations to reward courageous journalism.
  19. Perhaps because the elections took place in 2005, not 2004.
  20. Right state, but a bit further north.
  21. If you are thinking of the one in CA, you are wrong. Where is that Dru?
