Maybe it's just me, but this article strikes me as being a wee bit "oh my look at those quaint locals" while discussing the tea party movements.  Particularly since it starts with a slam on angryrenter.com.  Then there's this:

"There seems to be real bitterness about the idea of forcing people to subsidize the imprudent housing choices of their neighbors."

Shut.  Up.  No!  People are pissed about paying other people's mortgages?  No!  I refuse to believe that!

This is the thing, in all of these Flyovers In The Mist stories, the reporters seem to miss the wee tiny point that people *should* be pissed off about this.  Blah blah blah stablizing the banks blah blah blah stopping the fall of housing prices.  Spin it how you want, the fact remains that it is now economically better to not pay your mortgage than it is to pay it.  And people are rightly fucking pissed.

No wonder journalists are held in the same esteem as Congress and used car salesmen.  No offense to used car salesmen for the comparison.
