1. When I saw your subject line, I wondered how Wen Ho Lee was involved in bank failures...!

I see now that you were going for the long version of HOLY!!

New England gets off light--one in NH, one in CT. GA and CA seem ... busy, as do a few other states.

Things are good here, and there are jobs to be had.

4. Did I count correctly?

95 since Jan. 2008
27 between October 2001 and Jan. 2008

?????? I might be off a bit, but not much if at all.

The FDIC is cleaning house? And Greenspan and Bernanke let this filth collect while they were in charge.

10. The fed (greenspan & Bernanke) have nothing to do with FDIC

The FDIC is run by Sheila Bair.

From what I hear she runs a tight ship and Obama will likely retain her as both a member of FDIC board and the chairman.

6. Illinios Has A Bunch Too

9. Rural "community" banks are famous for their lending practices

Farms doing better than typical home loans though - those who went big for housing in the 2003-2007 vintage got creamed

11. Too much rush to fund the Florida developers
