Keith, my brother (unfortunately not convinced that there's a real estate bubble in PHX) just bought a condo conversion in Scottsdale 2bed/2bath, for 250k. He says he put it online for rent on craigslist and the phone has been ringing off the hook with people who are gagging to rent a condo in Scottsdale. Who these people are and why they aren't clued in, I have no idea.

A candy bar and a lollipop. Those are the Gen X who, hopefully are staying in school. otherwise they're screwed.

"New York" sign spinner? As if. Guess where the trend came from! Big surprise: apparently originated in that Ground Zero of inefficiency, inequality, and underemployment: Mexico. It says something disturbing about Southern California's present and America's future that sign-twirling is the big job opportunity.

It's the 21st Century equivalent of the Depression-era advertising practice of hiring unemployed men to walk around wearing sandwich board signs saying "Eat at Joe's." And it's just as depressing.

They aren't called "spinners" these days...the preferred BS marketing term is "human directional".
