A record number of people in California voted in the November Presidential Election. I started wondering how many of those people were newly registered. If there are many newly registered voters, and considering that we get called for jury duty based on voter registration records, I wonder if the Los Angeles jury pool has been diluted enough so that maybe I won’t get called as frequently? Good God, I sure hope so! There isn’t much I hate more than getting a jury summons. Seriuosly.
Tanta December 5, 2008
I am a sucker for an economics blog, and I knew I found the holy grail of finance and econo-commentary when I stumbled upon Calculated Risk, and all the posts brilliantly authored by Tanta. Everyday I looked forward to reading her witty commentary and her long and detailed posts about mortgage securitization, negative amortization, and origination channels. If ever you are interested in learning a thing or two, click here and prepare to become an ubernerd. Tanta passed away all too soon at the age of 47 and will be missed by all ubernerds, myself included.
Tanta also leave’s behind The Mortgage Pig, born of an excel spreadheet and a very long conference call. Read about the creation of the mortgage pig here and in the meantime, enjoy this.

The internet is good for a great many things, one of which is finding video gems like this one. Enjoy.
