Since the days of the Renaissance, it had been customary for
artists to depict God the Father as a benevolent old man with 
a beard.  In more modern times, God the Father was still 
thought of as an old man with a beard.  But, he was no

To a crowd in Iowa, Rick Perry said if Ben Bernanke
 "prints more money between now and the election I don't
know what you'all would do to him in Iowa but we would
treat him pretty ugly down in Texas."  For those of us
Texans old enough to remember, this is the same 
sort of poisonous rhetoric that incited a crowd to
assault UN Ambassador Adlai Stevenson in Dallas
on October 24, 1963, and that created the toxic
atmosphere in which JFK was assassinated
on a Dallas street on November 22, 1963.

"Ben Bernanke failed to recognize or remedy the factors
that paved the road to this dark and difficult recession.

That's why he richly deserves to be named Time's
'Person of the Year'."

Rumor to the Contrary Being Spread by 15.6 Million
Unemployed Americans

"Can money buy happiness? Well, Scott, it all depends on
whether it costs more than $29.95 a pound, or if you run
short of money first."

"Goldman Sachs' $3.44 billion profit for the second quarter
is right on time. We did good, Ben, we did good. We did even
better than Hank Paulson did."

"Just because I'm the Chairman of the Federal Reserve
Board and one of the most powerful people on Earth
doesn't mean I know why I can grow hair on the bottom
of my head and not the top, or why God thought it wise
to allow Henry Paulson to be Secretary of the Treasury."
