In case anyone is wondering, it's not time to buy a house or condo yet.
And you better start using coupons while Ralphs still let's you.
Welcome to Depression '09!
Knowing Long Beach city council, that means they have to create blocks and blocks of new affordable housing, and a new WalMart in Belmont Shore.

Clinton, for all his sexcapades did allot of things right. I am a republican but, it is hard to dispute the stupidity "W" did in 8 years. There is something to be said for moderate leaders who surround themselves with very smart people. W was very right wing and surrounded himself with idiots. Time will tell how obamamama does.

Hey Kris! Way to follow the NY Times in your own backyard! And you can't blame this one on "understaffing" at the P-T. You're just a bad reporter!

Even on his worst day, Bill Clinton was a thousand times better president than Dumbya.

The fact never goes away: Clinton was impeached. He is clearly the worst president ever!

I too, think it's terrible... allowing these fine automobiles to sit out there in the corrosive salt air. And we all know, the worst thing that can be done to a car is to let it just sit, it needs to be driven.

I, for one, will volunteer to take two of those Mercedes-Benz's and drive them regularly in order to maintain the prestige of the brand. I'll wash it at least twice a week.

Anyone else will to sacrifice with me?

He was impeached by a politically biased Republican congress. However, the proceedings didn't fly in the Senate. Now, compare the records of Clinton & Bush. No contest. Even the Wall Street Journal has called W. the worst president to ever serve this country.

Wrong. Clinton repealed Glass-Stiegel, pushed the Freddie Mac agenda into high gear, closed down multiple military facilities, limited money to the CIA to get enough agents in muslim countries, refused to kill bin ladin when he had the chance, and had sex with an intern, and when she outed him, tried to paint her as a psychotic lying nut case before the dress turned him into the lying pile of garbage we currently know him as. His obsession with lying in impeachment proceedings took his eye away from critical terrorist activities that, thanks to his lack of focus, eventually led to 9/11.
His attempt to assert that a bl**job was not sex, set the stage for teenager's to cite his claim when parent's tried to curb irresponsible sexual behavior: "The president said it's not sex."
He did nothing while the stock market got into a huge bubble, leaving Bush to deal with the ugly outcome, and when he left office, he pardoned assorted proven high-profile criminal felons with no explanation or apology.
Overall, a huge trainwreck, and anyone who tries to say otherwise is suffering from some kind of psychological disorder, like their vaunted ex-leader.

No, because I'm not white trash.

The stain on Monica Lewinsky's dress was investigated more than the claims of WMD's that got us into the Iraq mess.
