The Democratic Party looks at our nation and sees the twilight of the American soul. Republicans affirm that now, as throughout history, the spiritual and intellectual genius of the American people will create a better nation and maintain a just peace. To Republicans, creativity and growth are imperatives for a new era of opportunity for all. The Republican Party's vision of America's future, the heart of our 1984 Platform, begins with a basic premise: From freedom comes opportunity; from opportunity comes growth; from growth comes progress. This is not some abstract formula. It is the vibrant, beating heart of the American experience. No matter how complex our problems, no matter how difficult our tasks, it is freedom that inspires and guides the American Dream.

Here we go...
I know, this is a mortgage blog but it belongs to me and I can write about anything I choose and tonight, I just don't have much to say about the current mortgage market. I have an exam in two weeks and I've been studying all day. I didn't go to work, didn't go to the beach, didn't even get away from my desk for too long. Well, I went to buy groceries but that was about all. Anyway, I have this essay exam that I'm studying for and I think I'm going nuts or something. I'm beginning to think in terms of what I'm learning in economics. For instance, I'm a huge Diet Rockstar fan. It's an energy drink that has replaced water, coffee, tea or any other liquid I normally consume. On any given day I drink about four. There's a limit to the number of days that I can do this though. Here it is... The law of diminishing marginal utility usually kicks in around the fifth day of drinking four a day.
