Make one yourself.

Digg does have "lulls" in traffic. How about on the early morning weekends? I see quite a large number of stories getting on the front page at those times with less than 60 diggs. Has to be less overall activity going on then.

Thanks for a great answer.

I think buries might be an ever better indicator of your tastes on Digg than the stories you digg themselves!

If the Bush Administration really believes the taxpayers should buy up "toxic" assets so the institutions that own them are able to continue with the same behavior that got them into trouble in the first place, then perhaps the taxpayers should send a Boston Tea Party type message. Nobody should pay their mortgage for October. Let’s see how high the number of "Toxic" Assets goes. These securities are bad because thousands of mortgages are being foreclosed on every day and will continue. The CNN Article "Housing Costs gobbling up Income" reported that: according to the 2007 Census, 15% of American homeowners with mortgages are paying 50% or more of their income on housing, and another 23% are paying over 30% of their income on mortgages. So 19 million (38%) mortage owners pay more than the traditional definition of "financially burdened". The government and most lenders consider a homeowner spending 30 percent or more of their income on housing costs to be financially burdened. The irony (reality) was that the page also includes a link by Countrywide touting "No Cash required for Closing Costs." The reason the assets are toxic is that the lenders made it too easy to get credit. So now they will be allowed off the hook, while the people who got overextended are still on the hook twice: once with their mortgage and twice with the tax burden of the bail out. Wall Street wants this because they kept the profits and now want to unload the loss. They have placed a knife on the public's throat, threatening the economy if they don't continue to make their profits. If you are not one of the 38% of Americans overextended on their mortgages, do you think this does not affect you? When I paid $350k on my house 2 years ago, it was because I had no choice. Cheap credit had bid up the cost of housing and I had to pay this amount to buy my house. If credit had been harder to get, the price I paid for this house would not have been as high. All mortgage holders have been financially hurt by the lending practices and now we are supposed to pay to get the cause of the excesses off the hook, or according to Bush-Paulson, they will hurt us more by taking our jobs. Again, I don't think so. If they think they are in pain now, lets see what happens if we all take a one month mortgage bailout. If the Democrats are stupid enough to go for this bail out, they deserve the losses that will come to them in the future for being the tax-and-spend party because they allowed themselves to be rushed with an arbitrarily set one week timeline. Say no to this blackmail by refusing to pay your mortgage in October. Perhaps then the government will see it is the American taxpayer that needs a bail out. Spread the word. This year's Tea Party is in October.
