John Dennis Should Be a Liberal's Pick.

There's an unusual candor about John Dennis that you don't often get from a politician who's running in one of the two major parties. But then again, a small businessman from New Jersey who grew up in a housing project can afford to be candid and honest when the media has marginalized him as a mere outlier against the most powerful person in congress, Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi. He's not even a politician. In fact, Dennis had rarely engaged the political realm until the 2008 Presidential election, in which he actively campaigned for Republican party outcast, Ron Paul. This time around it's Paul helping out Dennis, who he has endorsed.Link

The Fed's Magic Money-Printing Machine.

It’s amazing, given the attention the Tea Party allegedly is paying to government waste and government spending, that there hasn’t been more controversy about the now-seemingly-inevitable arrival of “QE2” – a second massive round of money-printing cooked up by the Fed to prop up both the government and certain sectors of the economy. A more overtly anticapitalist and oligarchical pattern of behavior than the Fed’s “Quantitative Easing” program could not possibly be imagined, but the country is strangely silent on the issue.Link

The Fed Warms Up The Printing Press.

It sounds like the Federal Reserve is about to create a lot more money out of thin air. The idea would be to help the economy by driving down interest rates for businesses and ordinary people, encouraging everyone to borrow and spend more money. To drive down interest rates, the Fed would probably buy medium- or long-term bonds.Link

The Republican Actually Running Against Pelosi.

SAN FRANCISCO — John Dennis, a candidate for California’s Eighth Congressional District, recently stood in a gay bar in the Castro district of San Francisco and came out of the closet — ever so slowly — to a table of six older gay men. “O.K., we’re all sitting here, we all have a drink here?” Mr. Dennis said, taking a deep breath. “O.K.: I’m a Republican.” “Oh. My. God,” responded Chris Craig, a 72-year old Democrat who is retired. “Are you sure?” another man at the table asked. Mr. Dennis smiled and nodded, and continued on in his curious and probably quixotic mission: to unseat Nancy Pelosi, the House speaker, a Democrat who was elected to her 12th term in 2008 with a slim 72 percent of the vote.Link

Palin bad, Paul good.
