If you're going to do this, why not real time price valuation for the white metal? It is actually simpler, clearer, and presents no gotchas to be perceived angrily when the floor drops out and someone got stuck or the thing shoots to the moon and someone missed that train.

Good article, but you forgot to mention, American Woman, eh - the Hebrew tribute. Also, that 'Canadian call for sedition in the US' megaphone makes an even better echo when stuff up Toronto's poop shoot (or Vancouver or Montreal or Edmonton but not Thunder Bay - no immortal would violate holly ground - it's tradition ...).

Two Recession Benefits: Fewer Lawyers, More Farmland  (7)
It kind of sounds poorer. Fewer lawyers means either someone else other than the person you can curse yourself, because you know his or her name, litigates and frames society, or, society itself is frozen in time and no forms are needed to demonstrate its underlying fire. More farmland means no one can shuck the stuff for expanding local civilization even as the global suffers famine.

Which Candidate Was Right About Iraq  (13)
War in Iraq was won at time of 2008 election minus one detail. Like to metals, you only get paid at a price if you sell at that price. It was in fact Obama who used in 2006 the notion of an ROI regards Iraq before supporting withdrawal under any terms.

Nothing is worse than hearing people who voted for Obama bitch now about the quality of the bananas they so lusted after in the run-up and vote tally for the somehow preferred above all others, hue-man's election.
