The once-hot Florida housing market has turned cold, leaving many other homeowners stranded. Across the state, home sales have slowed to a crawl. Inventory has ballooned by more than 50% in major cities like Tampa, Orlando and along the Space Coast, while demand has dropped by at least 10%. More than half of Tampa’s homes on the market have seen price reductions, making it one of the hardest-hit metropolitan areas in the country.
Add to that the number of homes damaged and/or destroyed by hurricanes in the last 18 months, it may take years for the coastal housing market to reinvigorate. Meanwhile, in areas like where I live - in the dead-nuts middle of the state, the housing market is rock solid.

The vice president’s office in the West Wing has many benefits, but it almost always fails to propel its occupant directly to the oval one down the hall. Martin Van Buren and George W.Bush are the only two to succeed.

How to piss off every Italian-American?
Christopher Columbus was likely Spanish and Jewish, according to a new genetic study conducted by Spanish scientists that aimed to shed light on a centuries-old mystery. Scientists believe the explorer, whose expedition across the Atlantic in 1492 changed the course of world history, was probably born in western Europe, possibly in the city of Valencia.
They think he concealed his Jewish identity, or converted to Catholicism, to escape religious persecution. I think it's bullshit and ya can't convince me otherwise. I mean, c'mon. We're not gonna have Columbus Day parades down Bloomfield Avenue any more?
that in front of you? Asking for a friend...

Don't forget - Andrew Johnson, Chester A. Arthur, Teddy Roosevelt and Lyndon Johnson were all Vice Presidents that made it to the Oval office. And they didn't even have to run for office.....
ReplyDeleteNeither did Gerald (Duh) Ford.
DeleteYou forgot Harry Truman.
DeleteWhy bother to slap the idiot? Just leave. Arguing with, or attempting to correct, fools is like teaching a pig to sing. It wastes your time and annoys the pig. I do agree that the Vance approach ("Did you listen to what you just said?") is worthwhile, but beyond that....don't bother.
ReplyDeleteGeorge W. Bush succeeded because people thought he would be the 3rd term of Ronald Reagan.
ReplyDeleteHe wasn't.
Another major difference between the "R"s and the "D"s.
DeleteAh, Christopher Columbus. Who we know was born in Italy, spoke Italian, wrote Italian, said he was Italian, people in Spain knew he was Italian, yet, weeeee, now he's a Conversos (a Spanish Jew who converted to Catholicism due to the end of the Reconquista and the Spanish Monarchy being hard on potential security threats by secret muslims and secret Jews, which was the whole reason for the Spanish Inquisition. Openly practicing muslims and Jews weren't an issue, it was the ones that said they were Catholic but weren't that were the target of said Inquisition.)
ReplyDeleteAlmost certainly, Hayden Panetierre.
