Weak Constitution, Strong Gold

It’s no coincidence that gold began its enormous climb (and the dollar began its terrible fall) shortly after Zhlubya issued this (obviously unconstitutional) Military Order. The invasion of Iraq and everything that followed: warrantless wiretapping, rendition flights (”torture taxis”), secret prisons, etc. ad nauseum … all of these illegal acts have weakened my motherland (and the dollar) and helped gold.

Be interesting to see how gold reacts when Obama is elected President in November.

Obama.com More Than Doubles in Four Trading Days

Checking up at Tradesports on the Barack Obama as Democratic Presidential Nominee contract, I was surprised to see that he’s trading over 60. It’s kind of a reverse of the old Howard Dean contract chart I posted back in January 2004 after the Iowa caucus.

(You’ll be amused to note that I was looking for Crude to move all the way up to $38.50 back then.)
