On Wednesday, after news accounts carried details about the cards, Kelo apologized in a statement released by the Institute for Justice, which represented the homeowners in their legal battle.

Never retreat and never apologize if you are right [unless the fight is with a wife or girlfriend, in which case immediately retreat and apologize :-) ].

Kelo, one of the last holdouts, earlier this year accepted a $442,155 settlement, more than $300,000 above the appraised value of her home in 2000.

Is the appraised value the fair market value, the replacement value, or some lowball number created by a government bureaucrat interested in running you off your land? I expect many more lowball figures after the monstrosity of the Kelo decision.

I'd say if it were me, I'd get an independent appraisal done myself.

That would be "C," Karl.
