There will be a lot written about the fact that the Republican shooter in Arizona wanted a return to the gold standard. The gold standard is a big thing amoung teabaggy 2nd Ammendment Republican gun nuts. Glen Beck has made some great money by telling the morons who follow him to hoard gold. Amanda Marcotte at Pandagon makes the case that the love of gold among whack-job Republicans has no basis in any intellectual arguments about money supply at all - but is based on pure and shallow emotion.

I should not have jumped to conclusions. It has now been confirmed by multiple sources that Jared Loughner was a raging liberal all whacked out on the hate message that streams out of the liberal media 24/7. You've heard that right?

Katz and his school-age daughters were among eight people injured on Dec. 28 after a ski lift derailed at the Sugarloaf Mountain Ski Resort and they fell 35 feet to the ground. We hope Mr. Katz and his daughters are not too seriously injured, and that they all recover fully.
