Raleigh folks getting an Extreme Makeover: Home Edition

RALEIGH - People had prayed for weeks that the big black bus would drive down Poplar Street and stop at the home of Linda and William Riggins. The appeal had been raised through churches and e-mail groups for something good to happen to a woman who spent years putting other people's needs above her own.

On Thursday, the answer rolled down Poplar Street and stopped at No. 207. Hunky host Ty Pennington and the crew from "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" used a bullhorn to let Riggins and her family know they had been selected.

I think they are still accepting volunteers this weekend.

The series has rebuilt or renovated about 70 homes since it went on the air in 2003, and some families have been shocked at the resulting increase in their property taxes and overhead.

Uhm, no sh!t. You go from one puny TV to five big screen plasmas and double the amount of lighting fixtures and I think you need another fund raiser to just pay the electric.


So...if I see Ty Pennington on the street, is he fair game for roadkill?
