Thanks Fred for making Granny and Gramps secure in their old age.
Oppps I mean thanks for having Granny and Gramps move in with me now that Fred and Friends took the house.

Law & Order: Mortgage Victims Unit (Starring Fred Thompson) | Mother Jones (http://motherjones.com/politics/2010/07/fred-thompson-mortgage-spokesman-american-advisors-group)

For six years, former presidential hopeful Fred Thompson played Arthur Branch, the gruff, straight-shooting district attorney in the television series Law and Order. Thompson's character had an unflinching commitment to the letter of the law. The same can't be said for a firm that Thompson has been pitching for lately in TV ads: a mortgage company that's landed in hot water in a half-dozen states for allegedly preying on elderly Americans and, in some cases, violating state law.

This spring, Thompson, a jowly ex-GOP senator from Tennessee, signed on to serve as the national spokesman for American Advisors Group (AAG). In an ad for the company, Thompson stands in front of a charming white house with an American flag flying out front and sings the praises of a lesser-known mortgage product called a reverse mortgage: "Join hundreds of thousands of other Americans who have used a reverse mortgage as a safe, effective financial tool," he implores viewers.


I won't bore you with the entire post but it isn't good for Granny.
