Don't like the Dow? Wait a day or so.

Obama or McCain: Who’s Better for Healthcare Investors?

California Gets $1.2B in Foreclosure Help [Housing Tracker]

"Realtor" is a trademark and shouldn't be used as a generic term for "real estate salesperson".

The guy is a vegan, for cripe's sake. He eats grass.

This article goes on like it was "Weekend at Bernie's" or something. I expect to see this kind of stuff at the checkout counter, not on SA.
