I tend to agree that people who have multiple houses don't deserve much help in saving all of them.

But what about those of us who bought our homes before the bubble, at reasonable prices, have never missed a payment in 7+ years and now are facing problems making the mortgage because our spouse lost their job? Are you saying that we don't deserve some assistance in lowering our payment to a better rate so that we might actually be able to MAKE the payment while on unemployment? Losing 60% of your family's income makes even a reasonable mortgage payment too much.

Not all of us are looking for a 'handout' - some of us are in this situation even after doing everything right. We don't want out of our obligations, we just would like a little assistance during this tough period. In case you hadn't noticed, jobs are a little hard to come by in this town these days.

His take on the Haunted Mansion music is pretty awesome! Also, I want a rescue bunny now.

I also was a patient of Dr. Desai, and had a procedure performed at one of his clinics in July 2007.

Yes, the news is terrifying, but using this tragic situation as a cover for racism and prejudice is sickening. Dr. Desai's ethnicity has nothing to do with this. Greed and avarice rear their ugly heads in all ethnic groups.

Let's wait for all the information to come out about how this situation came to pass - and try to keep a realistic perspective on infection rates. Yes, it's scary - but odds are I don't have anything to worry about, and neither do most of the people who got those fateful letters.

What an informative, well-written article; you'd never have known the coordinated effort going on all around the city to deal with the fire from the broadcast TV (local and national) coverage.

They're evacuating a 3000 room casino - the pedestrian traffic alone is incredible, let alone the traffic from all the fire and paramedic crews. Of course there's going to be some road closures!
