Happy Thanksgiving! Giving thanks...

And yet another year is passing and corporate America is promoting Christmas before we have had our turkey dinners. I don't know about you folk's but all this competition for our money is putting a bad taste in my mouth, taste sort of like an old fruit cake that has been passed along as a gift from year to year.

Check out this link to myths and facts of Thanksgiving. Many of you maybe surprised to learn Minnesota is the leading producer of turkeys with or without feathers. :)

Happy Thanksgiving ALL!

Saint Paul Fair Housing Lawsuits/ HUD - The Empire Strikes Back

HUD's Preemptive Attack
It is rare, indeed, when a federal agency, such as HUD, seems to be issuing its position on a matter that is currently before the U. S. Supreme Court. But that is what appears to be happening. The case is Gallagher v. Magner, and on November 7, 2011, the Supremes granted a petition to review the Eighth Circuit's decision reversing summary judgment in the defendants' favor. Yet HUD is not filing an amicus curiae, the normative response expected by a federal agency, it is actually publishing its standards now - after the Supreme Court has decided to review the case.

To say HUD's tactic is unusual, is a considerable understatement!
