From Economic Policy
Journal:
Well, well, it appears that Rick Perry has
read Ron Paul's book, "End the Fed," but
just to prove he has a screw or two loose,
he tells an Iowa group that if Bernanke
prints any more money, then Bernanke would
be treated "pretty ugly" in Texas.
Here's the Think Progress take:
Texas governor Rick Perry, who entered the
presidential campaign on Saturday, appeared
to suggest a violent response would be
warranted should Federal Reserve Chairman
Ben Bernanke "print more money" between now
and the election.
Speaking just now in Iowa, Perry
said, "If this guy prints more money
between now and the election, I dunno
what y'all would do to him in Iowa, but
we would treat him pretty ugly down in
Texas. Printing more money to play
politics at this particular time in
American history is almost treasonous in

Crux:
The Republican Party and its media machine
have launched all out war against Ron Paul
and his free market, anti-state, anti-war
ideals.
Jon Stewart and "The Daily Show" crew just
shot a brilliant piece on how absurd and
disgraceful this situation has
become.
In Iowa's Ames Straw Poll this
weekend, Michele Bachmann
bested 2nd place Ron
Paul by less than 200 votes. And yet, in
the immediate spin cycle at least,
pundits talked about Rick Perry, Mitt
Romney and Bachmann. Paul seemed to be,
as his supporters
always point out,
invisible. Last night on
The Daily Show, Jon
Stewart became the latest to weigh in on
the habit of ignoring Paul. After playing
a few highlight reels showing anchors
going out of their way not to mention the
libertarian firebrand, he incredulously
asks: "How did libertarian Ron Paul
become the 13th floor in a hotel?"

From Newsmax:
Jim Rogers, chairman of Rogers
Holdings, says he sees higher returns
from agriculture than other commodities,
and expects more international turmoil as
food prices continue to rise.
"Agriculture prices are still, on a
historic basis, extremely depressed, and
in my view I'll probably make more money
in agriculture than other things," Rogers
told The Australian.
"I fully expect more social unrest in the
world, I fully expect more turmoil, but I
didn't expect it to happen this quickly
because food prices are somewhat
depressed," says Rogers.
"It will slow growth but some people are
going to benefit -- Brazil's booming,
Canada's booming, Australia's booming,
you're going to see some people benefit
and some people suffer, that's the way
the world works...
