perfidy

This no comments BS is really, well... BS.

GeekLethal's cockleswarmer about the VA's "no money down" home loans remind me of the ol' Lionel Hutz classic:

Hutz: All right gentleman. I will take your case. But I will require a thousand dollar retainer.
Bart: A thousand dollars!? But your ad says "no money down".
Hutz: Oh, they got this all screwed up. [corrects ad with felt-marker to read, "Works on contingency? No, money down!]
Bart: So you don't work on a contingency basis?
Hutz: No, money down! Oops, I shouldn't have the Bar Association logo here either. [Hutz eats ad]

I'm convinced that buying a house or car is a form of psychological torture, and it is a poor reflection on human nature that car salesmen and mortgage brokers exist. In a just world, they would not. Then again, what would we do with all our sadists...? You can only have so many prison guards and DMV staffers.
