It is official now. The Ron Paul campaign, despite surging in the Iowa polls, is not worthy of serious consideration. According to a New York Times editorial, "Ron Paul long ago disqualified himself for the presidency by peddling claptrap proposals like abolishing the Federal Reserve, returning to the gold standard, cutting a third of the federal budget and all foreign aid and opposing the Civil Rights Act of 1964. That last item, along with the decade-old racist comments in the newsletters Paul published, is certainly worthy of criticism. But not as an alternative to seriously engaging the substance of Paul's current campaign - his devastating critique of crony capitalism and his equally trenchant challenge to imperial wars and the assault on our civil liberties that they engender.

When David F. Provost thought about applying for the top position in Vermont's Captive Insurance Division, he discussed the idea with the man he would replace, Len Crouse, and others in the division. People associated with the state's captive business acknowledged that Crouse would be a tough act to follow, but they also expect a smooth transition. Provost brings to his new position the talents he developed in both the private and public sectors and the technical expertise and confidence he will need to lead a top-notch organization.

Standard & Poor's Corp., one of Wall Street's top ratings agencies, put the United States on notice Monday that it may lose its gold-plated AAA rating if it does not act quickly to pare down deficits ranging over $1 trillion for years to come. Although Congress and President Obama have offered proposals to slash about $4 trillion from future deficits, S&P said those plans are far apart on how to achieve the budget reductions, and resolution of the differences may not occur until after the 2012 presidential election - not soon enough to prevent a downgrade.
...How? Well, by bringing back the gold standard of course. . There's no better place to see just h...
