If You Got a Sub-Prime Loan...

...the government wants to help you.

From Mayor Sam:

For those of you who signed one of those fun, little sub-prime mortgage loans -- and ended up getting burnt, George Bush has set up a toll free line for those who either couldn't read the contract, didn't read the contract, didn't care about the contract, or were simply victims of "predatory lending" by the banks that held guns to their heads to take these loans, please call:

1-(888) 995-HOPE! (That's H-O-P-E)

I almost want to call and just see what they can do for me, in general.

LA: The Wireless City

LA wants to create a city-wide wireless network.

"We'd like to get the whole city blanketed," Hewitt said. "That's about 450 square miles. Los Angeles has the most ambitious plan of its kind."

Why have an ambitious education or crime plan instead? Because we know how well those went.
