The Cook County sheriff has suspended enforcing foreclosure evictions.

He hopes that this action will prompt other government officials (e.g. judiciary or state legislature) to step in and alleviate some of the damage caused by the 43,000 foreclosures (in Cook MF’n County alone!) expected by year’s end.

While I feel greatly gladdened by this news, it would not have saved the boyhood home of Jake and Elwood Blues, as the orphanage owes property tax, not mortgage payments.

Too bad the anti-predatory lending laws of all 50 states were sabotaged in yet another glaring example of high crimes and misdemeanors.
