This Week-Understanding Home Buying Benefits for Veterans We were introduced to Beth from the Veterans Administration. We have purchased many homes and working with Beth was the best experience we have had. She clearly enjoys her career and is really great at negotiating. She worked so hard for us. When we encountered a bump in the road and the deal was going south, Beth worked with the listing agent to create a win-win and we got our dream home. We feel fortunate to have had her experience. I wouldn’t ever buy a piece of real estate without her representing us!!! -Jim & Kendra, Londonderry.

Sports Glossary
Donald Trump: Billionaire tycoon who’s made the presidential nominating season so entertaining with one outrageous comment after another, which vexed the clueless GOP brass and driveling media pundits once he stunningly became the front runner. For those who can’t figure out why, it’s simple, he’s the anti-Romney, as after watching Romney kiss every buttock on the far right to prove he was “severely conservative” enough, it’s been refreshing seeing a guy tell you what he thinks (no matter how nuts) who doesn’t care if you like it or not. While he had fewer Vietnam deferments than the six obtained by Dick (send in our boys) Cheney, he still seems lame to insult John McCain after he spent six brutal years in a Vietnam prison camp, don’t you think? Bone Spurs: Malady according to Wikipedia suffered by a young Trump earning him one of his draft deferments during Vietnam and earlier by Yankees great Joe DiMaggio in 1949 when he hit .346 and knocked in 67 runs in 73 games. Saving Private Ryan: Epic Hollywood motion picture directed by the Michael Jordan of directors, Steven Spielberg. Or maybe it’s actually that Jordan is the Spielberg of hoopsters. The film it depicts the search to pull Private Ryan out of the European theater after four of his brothers were killed during the D-Day invasion. That it somehow lost Best Picture to the clever but ultimately boring Shakespeare in Love shows just how daffy those limousine liberals out there actually are.
