Peter Schiff: Record Physical Gold Sales

Best hedge against inflation.   Peter Schiff appeared on Fox Business this morning to talk about the market’s perception of gold, the extraordinary surge in gold sales this month, and hidden inflation in the US and Japan. “Gold has been up for 12 consecutive years.

Washington Times: Driving Toward Bankruptcy

Crony capitalism is in the driver's seat. There aren’t many winners in the current economic climate. Most companies are struggling against the burdens of higher taxes, red tape and uncertainty, and there’s no opportunity to expand and prosper.

Walter E Williams: Liberal Suffering And Confusion

D. Brown/B. Grey: The NY Times Endorses U.S. Police State

More bootlicking from the mainstream media.    The New York Times published an editorial Monday that not only endorses last week’s police-military lockdown of Boston, but suggests that it was entirely consistent with democratic procedures. In “How to Handle a Terrorism Case,” the Times makes the absurd argument that the operation   ... MORE

Washington State Castrates Frosty The Snowman

by Mark J. Perry.    OK, I might have exaggerated a little bit with that headline and the Frosty photo above. But not by much, and only because Frosty probably doesn’t appear in any state statutes. But a new manpersondate in the state of Washington that legally bans any gender (aka male) bias in state statutes will replace “penmanship”     ... MORE
