Some of the featured distribution channels for Blogburst are Reuters, USA Today, Gannett, Mcgraw-Hill, Chicago Sun Times, and Fox News.I had not visited the site in a while and did not realize that a few of my recent posts were featured on some of the various news outlets.I had done a post here at Active Rain a few weeks ago that was featured titled Federal Funds Rate drop V.S 30 Year Fixed Rate Mortgages. The article talked about how the general public

Nate observed the party. Debauchery was to begin shortly. But Nate unexpectedly questioned his idle life of wealth. His pinky young face flushed under an anime hairdo.
“The money, the drugs, the privileges,” Nate told his best friend Chuck. “They’re just keeping us numb, so we don’t know it’s better out there in the real world.”

Unconvinced by Chuck’s logic, Nate strayed, then returned like a good trust-fund baby after he tasted the real world for an hour or two. The real world is
Chicago Sun-Times: New political fear: gaffes on YouTubeExcerpt:"The race for president is still in the early stages, but already the campaign trail is strewn with enough gaffes and outbreaks of “foot-in-mouth” that we might have to call in the Centers for Disease Control.

Today I got an e-mail from Carolyn (a fellow Chicago garden blogger) that reminded me that I was going to mention the latest addition to garden blogging.

Bush had seen the error of his unilateral cowboy ways and was setting off to Europe to mend fences with America's ''allies.''(by conventional European wisdom George W.

The Chicago Sun-Times is the latest to weigh-in on FALL. Its review by author and professor Stephen J. Lyons ("Landscape of the Heart") says, in part:"Heartbreaking ... the girls' last terrifying moments are delivered with such vivid texture that they are almost too painful to read.
