About Gold Selling
Talk radio has a lot of advertisers pushing the sale of gold. The dollar is about to collapse, they say, so buy our gold.
OK, if they know the dollar is about to collapse why are they selling you gold in exchange for dollars?
Just a thing to mull around.
Deadly Everest

More Screen Grief For President Incompetent
“The Hope and the Change” a film by Citizens United featuring Democrats expressing regret at having voted for Barack Obama is percolating into the nation’s consciousness.
Naturally, you are likely reading about this here for the first time as the dinosaur propagandists that wear the robes of journalism aren’t reporting it.
But The Hill has an article about it and Drudge has linked to it, so the gate that the keepers so diligently watch is no longer the only entrance onto the estate of information in America.
By the way, 2016: Obama’s America is still plugging along. It was number 3 at box office on both Monday and Tuesday and still had the highest per-theater average among the top 12 movies on the North American box-office chart as of Sept. 12.
