Soon

...I now await your reciprocal clip(s) of Joe Biden, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, etc, etc saying equally inane things in 30 second sound bites, to show that you're "non-partisan".

Seriously, this clip has given me pause in my hopes that there is any "hope" for this country. But I'm always going to be suspicious of anyone who posts 30 second videos of either party saying anything:)

No offense intended. Just seems like a whole lot of prepared "Mud"slinging has appeared in the first 48 hours of his selection.

Best,

For all those pirates looking for booty.

Gold medals and a treasure chest of fun.

... 

No need, they make inane comments virtually every time they open their mouths.

Seriously, I have pretty much lost hope for this country at least as far as the upcoming election is concerned. I know Obama is hopelessly inept and crooked, but I simply cannot see Romney as different in any significant way.  I read a poll somewhere recently that said something in the neighborhood of 60% of registered Republicans are so dissatisfied with Romney they plan on staying home and not voting. 

And to think they coulda had a Ron Paul.

Lovely...... ;-)

@ lodmund

good point of view and thanks for posting it. That is one way to look at it and it serves us (me) to stay vigilant for new developments.

If i had no presumed knowledge about the fundamentals for gold, nor the presumed manipulation of its price i would be inclined to believe this. For the moment I think you will be proven wrong and Turd has a point. pointing upward. BWTFDIK.

My analyst brain is awake early this morning... sorry...

I am also intrigued by the Salvadore Dali image. I have believed for a few years now that artists (poets, musicians, painters) are the secular prophets, showing us glimpses of the future as their creative spirits intuit what is coming down the pike and they write and create images to revlect what they see, sense, adn feel.

Dali was foretelling the postmodern condition as were all the artists of the surrealist period, echoing Pilate's famous sarcastic question "What is truth?" Dali chose the clocks because the concept of time bridges the gap between essentialism and constructionsim-- that we can't know what is concrete or real, or that things are not what they seem.

Seems that "truth" has to be taken on faith. We like to think that Dali's work was about the world of dreams or fantasy, but the term surrealism means "above-real." Dreams are a very different thing.

How appropriate to the monetary system we have now! What is real money? How much is a fiat dollar worth. Dali could have used fiat dollars instead of clocks. There are some of his works in gold...interesting medium that he chose.

Hillsie: You suckered me into clicking on that story. I was really hoping it was true also... a very creative article. Thanks.

So....are there any farmers here that are jumping for joy that the Bummer and the gooberment is going to be buying all you meats at reduced prices this winter when you can't afford to feed them and give it away for you? I thought all these prices were coming down first???? What's this have to do with the price of gas you say? Hmmmm....maybe to the farmers "no corn for you!" ;) We need it to keep those gas prices in check while keeping the voting peasants happy.

President Barack Obama will announce on Monday that the Department of Agriculture intends to buy up to $170 million of pork, lamb, chicken and catfish to help support farmers suffering from the drought, a White House official said.

The food purchases will go toward "food nutrition assistance" programs, like food banks.

The president will also direct the Department of Defense to "encourage" its vendors to speed up purchases of lamb, pork and beef and freeze it for later use. ...MORE

Who knew...the big O a prepper...better follow suit

That story does not make sense at all. If the farmers' produce is ready for market or just about, and the market knows that there will be shortages because of drought etc., why is it better for the farmer to sell at a lower price to the government (it would have to be a lower price in order to fulfill the argued win-win for the taxpayer) than to let the market price the produce - most likely at a higher profit margin.

It seems to me, that Mr. O is trying to cap the natural market price discovery. 

Further, by encouraging the Department of Defense to influence vendor behavior and planning, it signals that he is worried about the viability of the supply chain for his war machine, aka his ability to feed his troops.

It looks like an attempt to front-run a shortage, using fluffy arguments, to the benefit of the army and his social disarmament programs (people usually find it wise not to bite that hand that feeds them), so he can keep his machines running. I doubt that it will be very beneficial to the farmers.

That story is rather ominous to me.

1.  Immoral "businesses" brought to justice

2.  Financial Times discredited

3.  Stack happy

Daughter in law called last night with news. Said she is related (sort of) to Paul Ryan. He is her maternal grandmother's cousin's second husband's nephew.

So Turd, maybe we can connect likewise if you have any contacts in 'Husker football through Bret Bielema on my end.

So the hint is that somehow JPM manipulation will end soon. I can see that.

First, a warning. The link is graphic.

It's a dilemma. While I can relate to anyone's desire to throw .gov officials from buildings,

it shows we do associate with some pretty unsavory characters.

I'm also starting to hear more references to all those chemical weapons "falling into the hands" of our .gov's Al Quaeda allies.
