Can't Say I'm Surprised...

...because really, there's always other storylines to these types of businesses:

The mortgage banks - including Washington Mutual, Bear Stearns and JP Morgan Chase - are all named in a lawsuit filed by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP).

NAACP has recently filed paperwork to speed up the class-action lawsuit, in which it alleges that the banks steered black borrowers into taking predatory sub-prime loans.

Sub-prime loans are at the heart of the current global credit crisis, and were offered to individuals who often could not afford the mortgages they were being signed up to.

NAACP's latest filing is aimed at fast-tracking the lawsuit, which was originally filed in federal court in Los Angeles in June.


It alleges that black people of all income levels were more likely than their white counterparts to end up with sub-prime loans.

So keep this in mind as the Bush Administration continues to bend over backwards to help this company and defend their helping of this company.

Plus she's probably the least-known actress on this list, so they can two movies out of her cheap. Cons : While D.C. isn't as star-crazy as Marvel when it co...

Being the avid movie watcher that I am, I've noticed that more than one talented actress has been passed over for other talent. And by "talent," I mean, "sex tapes that 'accidentally' made it to the Internet." Well, here's one man's humble attempt to rectify the situation. The following ladies are not only talented, but beautiful. Hollywood: get off your ass and give these women more roles. DANIELLE FISHEL Noticeable TV/Movie Appearances: Boy Meets World; both National Lampoon's Dorm Dazes The delightful Ms. Fishel has the distinction of having the weirdest named ever associated with a smart-yet-hot character (or maybe I'm the only one who has a problem saying "Topanga!" whilst in the throes of passion) as well as participating in the death of the National Lampoon Series (I personally thought it died with Chevy Chase's career; who knew?). If you were to use her IMBD page as a reference, the only real fault people seem to hav...
