Ok, so I'm really feeling dumb here. I can't honestly remember the last time that I felt this inadequate in the wisdom/knowledge department. So, take pity on me. So, I have been half-heartedly looking into buying a home. Besides looking at a few loan sites and trying to muddle through the Washington homeownership website, I know nothing. To be honest I'm feeling a little overwhelmed by it. If anyone out there can throw a link my way, advice, tips, hints, or just a pat on the head I would really appreciate it. I know, out of all of the problems to have in the world this is low on the totem pole. I really appreciate any time you can give though. Thanks, Norm

» In the Electronic Intifada 1 May 2007 On 17 April the Olympia, Washington City Council voted 4-2 against official recognition of the Olympia-Rafah Sister City Project. Of the few news organizations following the story, that was the headline. But it wasn't really the news. Possibly noteworthy was that more than 300 people attended the standing-room only public hearing on the project. People waited outside the building to get in to comment and observe. Forty-eight people spoke in support, 24 people expressed opposition. Hundreds of letters and emails flooded the city on the topic. Numerous phone calls also came in, according to council members. What remains worth exploring, examining and scrutinizing was why the city council vote went as it did, and what was said by citizens during the open hearing on the matter. For anyone seriously studying current American popular opinion on the Middle East, a trove has been collected in Olympia during the last couple of months. Collect it, save it, dissect it with a scalpel. — Link
