One Realtor who hates Freakonomics. He's all fired up over being compared to the Klan. Whatever, Buddy, you didn't see me freaking out when they made The Devil's Advocate.

Sick of going to open houses? Check out the Greek Fest this weekend instead. I'd tell you to go to the County Fair but this is opening weekend and with their "Deep-Fried-Everything-On-A-Stick" theme it'll be jam packed. Seriously, you should click on this link and type in "fried" to see all the fried food offered at the fair this year-- it's amazing. I've had the fried olives and they are spectacular but I'm really looking forward to fried Coke. The Deep Fried Elvis, on the other hand, scares me. But I'm sure E will try it.
