Ron Paul Birthday Sale!

Tomorrow is the day, and now is the time to wear the greatest, most articulate, best-quality, best-looking Ron Paul t-shirt ever. That's why we're having a Birthday Sale just until Midnight Saturday: we've cut the already low price of $16 to $14 (plus shipping)--that's a discount of 12.5%, pretty good in these Ben Bernanke hyper-counterfeiting days!

Was Perry Right About Bernanke?

Arguably, says John Tamny. Inflation is a criminal act. (Of course,  (Ron is The Man who has actually studied, fought, and undermined the Fed).

Sure To Upset the Neocons and Hageeites

Ron's great antiwar interview with the Concord Monitor.

UPDATE Thanks to Scott Horton for the video.

HypocritiPo

In an attack on Michele Bachmann's religion, while never mentioning its central doctrine, HuffPo runs this paragraph about her alleged reluctance to tell about her charitable donations (most tax collectors like Michelle give zero, of course):

This information blackout is surprising, says Steven Schier, a political science professor at Minnesota's Carleton College. "It's unusual for a prominent candidate for a major party's presidential nomination to try to prevent serious scrutiny of her/his personal and public life as an adult," he explained in an email to The Huffington Post. "Such resistance merely invites more media scrutiny and will raise questions among contributors and voters about the candidate. It's also a certain loser as a general election strategy after the nomination, when the public wants to get to know a candidate." (Emphasis added)

Of course, HuffPo has been one of Obama's key media bodyguards, calling it racist to want to know anything at all about the mystery man's past not in his autobiographies.

Rick Perry, the Bankers' Choice

Writes Austin Archibald:

Caught on C-SPAN yesterday: Bank of America executive tells Rick Perry: "We will help you out."

Hatevangelicals Worried

That Russia Today is giving extensive and fair coverage to Ron Paul. Why don't they act like American TV, and censor Ron and his ideas? Maybe because RT's not biased, and just wants viewers? And maybe the network doesn't buy the establishment line that Ron's unelectable? And I can testify that RT knows far more about the monetary system, and are far more interested in it, than any US network. (Thanks to Steve Bartin)

Barack the Silly

When a farmer asked a question about more dangerous USDA regs on the way, Obama hilariously told him to call the government to find out the truth. Politico followed his advice, and here's what happened.

NB: Under President Paul, the evil and ridiculous USDA wouldn't even exist. Farmers would be free and independent, with no subsidies and no anti-competive, production-suppressing regulations designed for the big corporate outfits.

Trolling for Beltway Bucks

The Rickster, right where he belongs: Corruption Central.
