Nothing more than an lousy realtor who couldn't sell a $2.2 million house in Burlingame. This is not Las Vegas or Phoenix, folks. Hey, here's an idea: if you're going to spend 40 grand to stage a property, hold more than one open house! Now these geniuses, by going to the media, have tainted the house and made the realtor look like she's incompetent.

It is too easy to blame the realtor.

It is too easy to whine about one open house.

The candidate lost credibility and votes on this saga - as she should have done.

Hillary, the realtor had sold the house so there was no problem with selling the house.

The problem was what was going to happen to this large house which straddles two lots in a modest neighborhood of small modest homes.

If it was a question of scale in the neighborhood this house would be considerd a "monster" home. And that is where the irony lies.

How about this for a suggestion for this beautiful house - a b&b - that should rile up the neighbors!

The realtor is a well-known local loudmouth who wanted nothing more than to inflate her own importance by influencing an election by crying to the media.

Hillary, Blaylock's action impacted the sale of this house when the buyer pulled out of this transaction.

The sellers are out thousands of dollars, the house is back on the market after finding their house has NO historic value, and, you are right, the election result for Baylock was influenced by Blaylock's actions - and rightly so.

After all Blaylock was the one who started the ball rolling, right?

Daily Horoscope for December 22

Aquarius

Unfortunately it won't take much to get your wires crossed, especially if you're trying to keep track of your Christmas preparations. It's hard to work out what still needs to be done. A member of the family is away with the fairies or is being completely fanciful. It's a pest because that sort of behavior can make you feel anxious and harassed.
