Gold Makes a Near Clean Sweep

Hard Assets Investor submits: By Brad Zigler You'd have to be Rip Van Winkle to have missed the news of the fresh highs scored by gold recently. And just as Van Winkle is quintessentially American, for a long time, so too were gold's price records; gold measured in dollars scored 16 record-high days out of November's 18 trading sessions prior to the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday.

Quote: Is it racism for the Dutch to want their nation to stay Dutch?

Quote: Is it racism for the Dutch to want their nation to stay Dutch? Jim Prevor, at the Weekly Standard , discusses the national identity point . The larger question, though, is whether a nation is any more than a geographic entity.

The Swiss Ban Minarets

... question, though, is whether a nation is any more than a geographic entity. If some Parisian Rip Van Winkle wakes up one distant morning and finds himself in a nation that speaks Arabic, where the people are Muslim, food is by law halal and the government follows Sharia law. Is that fellow still, in any meaningful sense, in France? Is it simple racism for, say, the Dutch to want their nation...

Across the Border

... saw a guy two aisles over in the checkout line who looked just like one of Henry Hudson's crew in Rip Van Winkle . I started sketching him, and when he noticed, I just told him: "I'm sketching your picture." Later I caught up with him at the Lotto machine and showed him the sketch. His shoulders were covered with sawdust. He told me he is a logger, and we got talking about the...
