No Help In Sight.....

Protesters hold signs calling for action to assist people who have lost their homes through foreclosure on March 10 in Washington, DC. Barack Obama has insisted that testing times require a daring response and has promised to spend more than a trillion dollars to revive the comatosed economy, save the finance industry and keep threatened mortgage holders in their homes.

A foreclosure sign is posted in front of a townhouse in Herndon, Virginia. Amid a storm of foreclosures and other housing woes, the US House of Representatives passed legislation Thursday to give bankruptcy judges power to lower some homeowners' mortgage payments. Where are all these people going to live? On the streets, on in tent communities? This is a horrible thing to experience, because of what's happening.............

Josef Fritzl, Pleads...........

Defendant Josef Fritzl arrives for his trial after a break at the court of law in Sankt Poelten in Austria's province of Lower Austria March 17, 2009. Fritzl, a 73-year-old Austrian who locked his daughter in a cellar for 24 years and fathered seven children with her, pleaded guilty to incest on Monday but denied murdering a newborn son who died underground. Fritzl pleaded "partially" guilty to rape -- understood to mean he is contesting the way the charge is worded -- and deprivation of liberty. I still see him as a sick, individual who needs to get what's coming to him. He said he was fully guilty of depriving the children marooned underground of their liberty. Fritzl, also pleaded innocent to a charge of enslaving his daughter Elisabeth for most of her life, according to Reuters reporters at the closed-door trial.
