Larry, self-selection is at work
I believe this is covered in "The road to serfdom"
The well-intentioned statists who don't have the stomach for the brutality brought on by their beliefs drop out, retire, find other lines of work. Only the cruel remain.

I would love to be a campaign
I would love to be a campaign manager for a Presidential Candidate or Senator. Of course, I have no such experience. But if in a dream Ron Paul called me up and said can you help me, I'd fire everyone of his handlers. I would be like a bull in a China shop readdressing his campaign strategy.
The fact is the best ideas don't get a person a elected. It's only the person who runs the best campaign, puts on the best show, panders to the fears and emotions of people (security, hope, change, la la la). Provides aphorisms on the best issues. I mentioned yesterday, Romney hasn't even put out an economic platform.
There is no way that this country would ever elect a person who adheree's to the constitution and believes in sound money. That being the fact, you don't run on those issues. You first get yourself into office and then you take a hatchet to the institution. This president would only have four years and so the less this person is seen in public probably the better. Because he'd probably be assassinated in two.
I've been waiting to see if a candidate would come along that understand that people can't handle sudden change. It must be done subtlety. So when a reporter asks what is your view on defense? You say big. As big as possible. It doesn't mean you ever have to deploy them or that the defense will be like the fathers believed, to protect your own borders.
This isn't lying. It's just how you deal with imbeciles.

Hedging tomorrow
Today I bought a boatload of DXD, double short Dow. To hedge off a chunk of my other longs. I'm still net long, but not so much. I anticipate being disappointed by the Fed tomorrow. They may need some pain in August before they pull the trigger at Jackson Hole, or at the Sept meeting.
If I'm wrong, and we get big time QE tomorrow, and everything explodes to the upside, well...Fuck Me. That's what that pile of physical is for.

Anglo-Saxon Golden Treasure Hoard (3)
This tale of the largest Anglo Saxon treasure hoard ever found is a must-see for the modern day treasure hunter. The unprecedented find mesmerised archaeologists and historians around the world, and made global headlines. In Saxon Gold: Finding the Hoard, we uncover the full story. Nothing like this has ever been found in Britain before -- sixteen hundred pieces of bejewelled gold and silver, buried, lost then forgotten. Discovered in July 2009 by an amateur metal detecting enthusiast in Litchfield, Staffordshire, this magnificent golden hoard is set to shed light on one of the most mysterious periods of British history. Dating back nearly 1,400 years from the mid-seventh century, everyone wants to know to whom the treasure belonged. Where and how was it made? Why was it buried? And why was it lost for over a millennium? This absorbing show answers these questions and more, as we meet the key players involved in the incredible story; from the original finder with his metal detector and the owner of the land where this superb collection was found, to the experts who realised the hoard was of international significance and the team who speedily excavated the site in secret to prevent night-hawking.
Art historian Dr. Janina Ramirez reveals the codes and messages hidden in Anglo-Saxon art. From the beautiful jewellery that adorned the first violent pagan invaders through to the stunning Christian manuscripts they would become famous for, she explores the beliefs and ideas that shaped Anglo-Saxon art
