I recently had a very negative experience on eBay involving an item I was selling. I spent quite a bit of time posting my listing and ensuring the description was as accurate as possible. The buyer (whose username is dealingdirect702) sniped the bid from several other buyers who were bidding on the item and then waited a day to actually pay for it. The item was shipped the day after payment was received, packed well, as promised and included EXACTLY what was listed in the ad. No more, no less. This buyer received the item (well after the listed return time period I might add) and complained that the lot did not include additional items not in the original description. I explained to him that he received exactly what was advertised and he insisted on returning it anyway. When I declined to accept his return (it was beyond the return period and his only claim was essentially that he did not carefully read the original auction ad), he engaged PayPal buyer dispute.

Now that we’ve debunked Mr Moore’s assertion that nobody knows how this financial crisis came to be, let’s examine some of his other claims. He characterizes voters as hostages in any proposed bailout that would help banks regain their footing, as though everything is going to be just fine without any intervention. Of course some firms will try to take advantage of government intervention. It is the job of oversight committees to ensure they cannot.

Begrudgingly I read this, and while getting through the first half of the letter was hard, because it is so unacceptably slanted with lies of omission, the second half actually makes a reasonable argument. I do agree that medical expenses overburden many Americans to the point they just don’t have enough money to pay the mortgage and this problem can be attributed to many Americans who suffer home foreclosures. That is really tough, but what is there some kind of mass super virus out there that magically made a few million people so sick they had to go to the hospital I haven’t heard about? While that may be a contributing factor, you can hardly establish causation. The real problem here isn’t that people suddenly got poorer. It’s about the banking practices that set people up for failure.

Lindsay Lohan is in the news again, and this time NOT for being a drunken coke whore. It appears the starlet now has view about politics she wants to express. Good for her. Obviously, I’m not the big fan of Lindsay Lohan. She hasn’t exactly contributed any serious and great art to the world. She’s no John Malkovich. It’s great that she’s sober enough to consider something of greater import than whether to “go commando” today or not, but I doubt she’s doing much to help Obama or Hurt McCain/Palin with her publicity whoring.
