okay, that tiny puppy in IL was almost too much for me. I nearly said "fuck it" and went to get it.
I am stronger than that.
I AM.
I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Okay, so wasn't someone here having some nightmare with a mortgage and their bank?
A federal judge last week said that mega-bank Wells Fargo has to pay a homeowner $3.1 million, after the bank improperly charged him tens of thousands of dollars in mortgage payments and then tied his case up in court for years. Federal bankruptcy judge Elizabeth Magner minced no words in her excoriation of the bank
Wells Fargo has taken advantage of borrowers who rely on it to accurately apply payments and calculate the amounts owed. But perhaps more disturbing is Wells Fargo’s refusal to voluntarily correct its errors. It prefers to rely on the ignorance of borrowers or their inability to fund a challenge to its demands, rather than voluntarily relinquish gains obtained through improper accounting methods. Wells Fargo’s conduct was a breach of its contractual obligations to its borrowers. More importantly, when exposed, it revealed its true corporate character by denying any obligation to correct its past transgressions and mounting a legal assault ensure it never had to. Society requires that those in business conduct themselves with honestly and fair dealing. [...]
Wells Fargo’s actions were not only highly reprehensible, but its subsequent reaction on their exposure has been less than satisfactory. There is a strong societal interest in preventing such future conduct through a punitive award.

EXPERTS: Public Relations Offensive By George Zimmerman’s Lawyers May Violate Legal Ethics Rules
Over the last several days George Zimmerman’s attorneys, Hal Uhrig and Craig Sonner, have launched an aggressive public relations offensive on behalf of their client. They’ve appeared extensively on local and national media, frequently detailing their version of the events of February 26 as “fact.”
...
ThinkProgress spoke with Pat Brussard, a law professor at Florida A&M who teaches courses in Professional Responsibility. Brussard told ThinkProgress Zimmerman’s lawyers “may be in some trouble” because “it appears they are testifying.” According to Brussard, when Zimmerman’s attorneys “put out opinion information as if it were the truth” that is “sketchy behavior.”
Check out this update:
In a live press conference this afternoon, Zimmerman’s attorneys announced that they are withdrawing as his counsel in light of the fact that they have “lost contact with him.”

Our wings are not tired.
Thank you, le nubian! It is Wells Fargo that I am fighting with. Still looking for the nastiest bulldog lawyer I can find here to go after them. I will be printing out this article and giving it to the lawyer too.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
they have “lost contact with him.”
They what? They lost their client? Their client ditched them? WTF?

Maybe their client is no longer living in our reality anymore.
