It's been a bittersweet week for Uncle Ben.  First he's egregiously re-appointed to a new term by President Bush Obama.  Then Judge Loretta Preska hits him with a Mike Tyson overhand right, and while still concussed and shaky, Bailout Barney brings out the 2 x 4.

At long last we have public comments from Congressman Frank on Ron Paul's bill to audit the Federal Reserve. And somewhat shockingly, at least based on his response in this town hall clip, Frank heartily supports HR 1207 and is working with Congressman Paul to steer its passage.

As we have surmised and have written several times, the component of the bill giving Congress power to oversee monetary policy (Fed interest rates), is being scaled back or perhaps tossed from the language of the bill entirely (it's not clear from his response). It appears that it was a mere device of negotiation, and has functioned as intended.

This is huge news and a big win for truth, justice and taxpayer sanity.
