Yep. I actually feel like I went through the 5 stages of grief.

Denial went by super fast when Romney didn't wait a full hour before conceding. Anger lasted a few days. (I almost pushed a large Home Depot flatbed dolly loaded with concrete into a Mexican woman because she tried to cut in line, and pretended not to hear me. But she was more agile than she looked and she avoided injury.)

Bargaining was over when I realized Issa isn't going to be able to get anyone to testify much less discover grounds for impeachment. I was definitely depressed for a few days but its not really my nature to mope around when there is work to do.

So now I'm in the acceptance phase. I accept that we have 4 more years with this commie psychopath at the helm of our fine ship. I am sure he intends on steering us straight into every rock along the way until we are sunk. I will just continue to collect my life preservers and wait.

Anyone know a reputable gold seller? I guess I'm looking for gold buffaloes or maple leaves. Everything looks to be right at $50 bucks over the spot price per ounce. Is that about right?

Gold is too expensive. Impossible to sell without generating an information return to the IRS. Buy silver in 1 oz. chunks, worth about $35. You can sell them without becoming the recipient of an IRS notification of a taxable transaction.

Even better, buy a bunch of 90% silver mercury or Roosevelt dimes, use them to pay for meals with savvy restauranteurs.

Mercury dimes are better, in my opinion, because the waitress or cashier does not see them often, and is more easily convinced they are more valuable than a 1990 or 2000 Roosevelt dime he or she sees everyday.

This is very valuable in its use for tips for waitresses. (Be sure to explain to them that they can take them to their local coin/precious metal dealers and exchange for 25-30 times face value, and only have to report a $.10 tip to the IRS.)

Otherwise, you might get forked in a kidney on your way out of the restaurant. Silver coins are still legal tender.

Legally, the waitress is required to report the profit on the conversion of her dime to “Federal reserve notes”, but after you have explained this to him/her, You are not legally required to be sure he/she does so. Where can you find silver coins? If you can't figure this out, buy a TV.
