MI GOP Official Sues News Website Over 'Lose Your Home Lose Your Vote' Story A Republican official in Michigan has filed a defamation suit against an independent news site,
over a story in which he is quoted as stating his party plans to challenge voters whose names and addresses appear on foreclosure lists. Just a few days after the article was published, Carabelli back-tracked on his statement, telling the
Macomb Daily that the party has "no plans to do anything." Later, he issued a full-throated denial, calling the original article "not true."

Thrifty household spending in France means the economy
grows more slowly, but it also means that it slows down more moderately, too. In France, it's nearly
impossible to spend money you don't have.
French credit cards are essentially debit cards, so there's no need to cut them up when you want that new Chanel bag, and banks aren't keen on providing a home loan unless you have 20 percent down, and the mortgage payments make up no more than 30 percent of your income.
Late last week John McCain criticized Barack Obama for his alleged ties to Fannie Mae, a mortgage giant that, along with counterpart Freddie Mac, received a sweeping federal bailout. In a video
McCain inaccurately linked Obama to Franklin Raines, who retired four years ago as the CEO of now bankrupt Fannie Mae. McCain also has been
hitting Obama for tapping former Fannie Mae CEO Jim Johnson to lead his VP search team, before he was asked to step down.
