A JUDGE CLEARS A HOMEOWNER'S MORTGAGE AND AWARDS HIM THE HOUSE FREE AND CLEAR! Am I dreaming? NO! It actually happened! And I can't help but feel good about it.
Watch this:
Thank Your Judge Robin Hood!
One small strike against the Robber Banksters, one drop less from the Big Boy Bank's Bucket of Pain we have to choke down -- but maybe a sign that even the Establishment has had enough? I can dream....

FIGHT BACK AGAINST BIG BOY BANKS: GRASS ROOTS FINANCIAL REFORM: BANK LOCAL!
Dear Fellow American,
As promised, links and spicy commentary on a new, grass-roots movement for useful, hands-on, Everyman's Banking Reform: "Move Your Money". It's heart warming when I can actually do something about an economic paradigm that irks me, like the fiscal piracy perpetrated by the Big Boy Banks in Black.
The solution is in our hands and is as follows:
Don't give them our money to play Monopoly with. So who will step up and be our Knight in Shining Armor, the Good Guy, the Welcome Wagon Gift Basket Lady who appreciates our individual deposit pittances as much as the fatter business cash influx? Who will give us that "warm and fuzzy" welcome with open arms we so badly need, not jack up our credit card rates beyond usury ceilings and not slam us with hidden fees and false overdraft charges? The Big Boy Banks have made us run the gauntlet of usurious fees, bad-attitude service and scrooge-worthy lending policies while prying our sweat-equity tax money ear marked for more socially enlightened uses from our President's hands, spouting the "too big to fail" crappage.
No company is "too big to fail". Isn't it against all capitalist "open market" and "survival of the best widget" economics to subsidize privately owned, failing corporations with government tax funds? Oh... the rant blog is done, this is now the solutions blog. I have more rant in me than I thought. Well you see, it's just that I would like to see the Big Boy Banks living by the same rules the rest of us do. In a pigs eye, I tell you. Different rules apply to the Makers of the rules than the Breakers of the rules. "What the Bleep Do We Know" is not quantum physics in action but "Need to Know"-based US politics.
Let's hear from Bill Maher about the subject:
Lest you think I am the only one who's had it with The Big Banker Boys in Black, take a look at this:
...and here's Ariana Huffington:
...and here's Ariana Huffington:
...and like Howard Biel shouted in "Network": " I'm mad as hell and I am not going to take this any more!", watch this ex-Bank of America customer sharing his feelings and rebranding B of A to "Bend Over America". Sweet.
So this is the deal: We need to move our money out of the Big Boy Banks, break their foot off in our rears and make it hurt. So, choose a local bank or credit union from this list of stable, solvent financial pillars of your community, and put your money where you live, which the BBB's have failed to do. Benefit from friendlier, personal service, no hidden fees, no false overdraft charges, no jacked up credit card interest rates and loan money they want you to actually have. Go beyond Buying Local; Bank Local! Here's some reading matter on the subject, believe me, we are not alone. MoveYourMoney.info, Stacy Mitchell at The Huffington Post, MoveYourMoneyatYouTube, GoLocal, ShopLocal,BankLocal Network. Google "Move Your Money" for more ideas and facts. There are rants out there among the mutton that make mine look like Little Bo Peep.
