Let us now subsidize the jackasses

When will they send the RTC after the sloppy lending institutions, and the FBI after the people falsifying loan applications? Dave Shafer at Marimark Mortgage recently told me that 1/3 of the imperiled sub-prime mortgages are from 'investors.' Dave and his partner Mark, by the way, are among the best people to call if you are in Tampa and need a loan. Anyway, I find it amusing how many of the liar loans come not from people trying to put a roof over their families' heads, but from people who don't want to work and thought that buying houses would make them millionaires. If you listen to the AP stories, you would think that the national opinion is that we should subsidize the failing lenders, and the failed investors, with tax revenue. Not with my money!

welcome
You have entered 'start your head on fire,' housed at www.robertbeverly.com. 'start your head on fire' is the blog of Robert Beverly. It is not a very serious blog. Mr. Beverly writes most of the news items, but you will also see us (Debbie and Secretia) posting from time to time to clarify things. We are his "blog secretaries."

who?
Rather than publish a biography or ask Mr. Beverly to record his memoirs (which would be dull), we thought we would post a summary for anyone who was wondering. He said we should do something like this because that's what other people's blogs have on them. Mr. Beverly goes by Rab, which is a common name for Scotsmen and their dogs. We call him Mr. Beverly in person because we're trying to talk him into a raise, but you can really call him Rab. Rab drinks gallons of coffee daily and makes jokes that we usually don't understand. We laugh politely because he writes the paychecks for Debbie and I (he hired us both as blog secretaries back in October 2006... we didn't even know what a blog was before this). Mr Beverly goes to the gym a lot, which is why he doesn't have time to type in his blog entries, and he does all kinds of weird exercises like Kung Fu and Yoga (NEVER ask him about this unless you want to hear all about martial arts). He enjoys literary analysis and esoteric reading and games like "Go" (the ancient Japanese strategy game) and chess, not to mention those weird "role playing" and "strategy" games he designs himself, all of which account for why we do not to start conversations with him. (Secretia here... what the hell was wrong with Yahtzee, I ask you?!) We like talking about peekapoos and the best grocery store sales, but we don't get to talk about that here.
