More Politics (Comic Relief)

This, from Stansbury and Associates:

Today's comic relief brought to you by U.S. Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner via this quote from the Wall Street Journal:

"I believe deeply that it's very important for the U.S. and the economic health of the U.S. that we maintain a strong dollar," he said at a roundtable discussion with Japanese reporters.

"We bear special responsibility for trying to make sure that we are implementing policy in the U.S. that will sustain confidence not just among American investors and... savers but investors around the world" that the U.S. will fix its budgetary problems as its economy improves.

Great job so far, Tim... Your comments really instilled confidence in the American people. The dollar touched a 15-month low and gold went as high as $1,119.10 an ounce today (up 26% this year).

Hoo, "Franz", you really crack me up.

You'd trust this face, right?
Memo to self " Buy more gold".
