While the Chinese, knowingly and intentionally, export inferior and even toxic products and dangerous toys and goods to be sold in North American markets, the media wrings its hands and criticizes the Bush Administration (now Obama Administration) (and the Harper Government!)

I make it my mission to irritate the crap out of them with phone calls and emails until they get the job done.

Also, my realtor is going to be irritated therefore less credibility for me.

You know - they keep reporting that the EPA did this as a way to show the public that sewage sludge was a safe fertilizer to use in crops (btw, Sasha and Malia would have been exposed to very high amounts of toxic lead eating vegetables from this soil).

(CIC) plans to invest soon in U.S. taxpayer subsidized investment funds of toxic mortgage-backed securities, which it sees as a safer bet than buying into the Federal Reserve's Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility (TALF).

I dont know if its illegal but it is irritating to deal with agents when they get fussy.

I was pretty irritated and wanted to tell them that since the current events changed the playing field that I withdraw my $40k bid and go back to the $35k original offer.

Leftist thinking at it's absolute worst, as always, looks like a good idea on paper for the first sentence or so, but now, instead of these folks just not having a house, they don't have a house, the banks have a toxic asset, the market is in the crapper, and the faulty borrower has jacked up credit.

Check for mold, dry-rot, termites, toxic waste, lead, and asbestos.

All I will say publicly is that if you are not an expert in things like mold or chinese toxic drywall, you don't aid yourself by contacting your insurer.
