WEINER, WAXMAN SET GOLD HEARING. Hey, gold’s looking pretty good as an investment. I bought a little bit a couple of years ago, and I wish I’d bought more. . . .

Plus this: “Mr. Weiner’s regulatory push seems as much aimed at conservative journalists as at the gold-dealers. . . . Imagine the uproar if a Republican-majority Congress started investigating and having a regulatory crackdown on big advertisers in liberal outlets such as the New York Times. The First Amendment freedom-of-the-press crowd would be marching in the streets.” The New York Times still has big advertisers?
