A few weeks ago, I mentioned a really good special on CNN called "Busted: Mortgage Meltdown". I just found out it's airing again this weekend. It airs this Saturday and Sunday at 8pm and 11pm Eastern Time. I highly recommend it.
Also, if you are interested, tonight at 5pm, Clark Howard makes a special appearance in another reporter's story on how men and women negotiate differently. If you aren't in the Atlanta area to see WSB-TV, you'll be able to catch it on our website: WSBTV.COM.
