End of Year Round-Ups:

As 2005 draws to a close, you can expect many year-end round-up stories to include mentions of the "housing bubble." Just a glance at Google News proves that to be true already.

Even Dave Barry has jumped on the bandwagon.

The following paragraph is from Barry's round-up in the San Jose Mercury News. It's one of his December highlights:

... In other troubling financial news, Delta Air Lines announces a plan to convert its entire fleet of planes to condominiums. Within hours, the housing bubble bursts.

Most of the stories are serious, but Dave Barry's just too funny to ignore.
