Stacy Summary:   Well the box office futures ban remains in the final bill.  The Fannie Mae story is rather frightening in that the company, along with Freddie Mac, are currently underwriting more than 75% of mortgages in the US.  So that they are turning so heavy handed and intrusive doesn’t bode well for the increasingly Fascist States of America.   And in light of that, here is the most shocking quote of the three stories below, regarding the Gulf of Mexico oil spill; of her 17 month old daughter and three year old son swimming in the oil soaked ocean, a mother had this response – - –  “And when her children emerged from the surf with light brown tar specks on their feet, she stayed cool: “Honestly, it wasn’t anything a baby wipe couldn’t get rid of. If it was really dangerous, I’m sure they would have posted a health advisory.”

• Congress bans box office futures
• Oil spill may pose hazard to humans, too
• Fannie Mae to charge strategic defaulters for everything

***UPDATE***

• American Academy of Pediatrics – Statement on Gulf Oil Spill

Highlights:

• Children should be directly supervised and should not be allowed to play in or around areas where the water or beach contains oil or sludge.
• Children, and whenever possible teens, should not be involved in clean-up efforts but should only return after the area is cleaned up. Children should be the last group to return to areas impacted by oil or other toxic substances.
• Children should not be involved in swimming, boating, or clean-up activities in areas impacted by the oil spill.
