Woman Faces Foreclosure on House She Bought for $1
We all know the housing crisis narrative: Back in the go-go days of the boom, someone bought a house they couldn't really afford, financed it with a "creative" mortgage and proceeded to use the place like a piggy bank, on the theory that home values would remain forever up in the stratosphere. Then the housing market crashed, the bills came due and now many of those homeowners are staring down foreclosure.
It's a story we've heard so many times we can practically recite it by heart. Well, Linda Hatchell didn't do any of those things. In fact, Hatchell paid just $1 for her home in Glen Ellyn, Ill. Yet today she's on the brink of losing it, reports NBC Chicago. More...

Pure, utter, unadulterated, crap.
She's not being foreclosed on the price of her home. She's being foreclosed on the mortgage she took out on it for renovations. I don't want to watch the video and the written summary didn't say the amount of the mortgage, but complete renovations to a near-condemned house with period-piece fixtures and furniture, etc, can't be cheap. They say Linda Hatchell "didn't do any of those things." Patently untrue. She took out a mortgage she ultimately couldn't afford. Sucks to be her, but she did it to herself.

No one reports the fucking news anymore. It's all editorialized, if not outright "sensationalized" [read: made the fuck up] anymore. Blogs helped decentralize the monopolies, but wiped out all fact-checking and accountability. ...and how about a little more good news for a change? News about how people can get together to effect change. It doesn't all have to be just death and killing, and weather. It's all just theater anymore. Who can scream the loudest. Write the most sensational headline ($1 house?[...no, it's the thousands you leveraged])...even if it isn't true. ...and while I'm on this rant, let me give a dishonorable mention to Viacom, and their non-stop death stream of teen mental disorder. WTF?, Over.

I think about it each time the bills comes in. The only reason I haven't pulled the trigger is that I know that as soon as I do, I'll get that perfect day when I really want to do is veg in front of the tube.
