Gold in retrospect

How many people, many of them retirees, are seeing their savings devastated by the gold market's plunge today--because they followed the advice of Glenn Beck and other blowhards who have done so much to turn conservatism and libertarianism into political and financial suckers' bets?

Here's a quick tour of some of my writings of the past few years involving gold fever and the right:

"Beck Didn't Warn Me Gold Can Fall!"

"Still Sound as a Dollar."

"The Gleam of Gold."

"Who Wants Higher Interest Rates?"

"Ron Paul's New Book: More Exaggeration and Conspiracy-Mongering."

"'Pure-Strain Gold.'"
