Strictly speaking, the title is split You have many of the rights of ownership (including the right to pay the property taxes), but the bank retains bare legal title, which is how come they can foreclose on you rather than just place a lien.

St. Ann, MO, is in between St. Louis (KMOV is a St. Louis TV station) and St. Charles, which is also near St. Peters and St. John.

I have no idea who got to name that side of the state, but I am definitely noticing a theme.

This would have actually been hilarious if it involved a convention of realtors being tear gassed out of the hotel bar.

Before. Lewis and Clark left from St. Charles. Sorry, Missouri history was required in high school.

I'm sure some bank will lend him the $100,000 on great terms (interest only at first, then the rates go up later, and then there's a balloon payment ...)

How long before Golden Sacks bundles bail bonds into collateralized obligations, and Wall St. starts peddling third-order derivatives? It's going to be the only growth industry left, once the 1% finally get 100% of everything.

I guess the housing market has not reached bottom if teargas is now a foreclosure tool.

“I guess he wasn’t too excited about the HUD cash for keys program...and Briebart is still dead."

Better?

"I don't think he was aiming," Schrader added. "Just the fact that he did this elevated the whole situation to red."

And before that, the cop's teargas elevated it to bright orange.
