You can keep it under your mattress, too

South Carolina Soapbox has a comment up on the most ineffably stupid idea the bloated GOP majority in Columbia has come up in with five weeks of pretty much just drawing a paycheck and going to parties: the state needs its own specie currency.

But where's the money to buy the gold and silver to stamp out the tens of millions of Thurmond $10 gold pieces needed to trade with, say, Boeing? Or the Calhoun dime. The Governor States Rights Gist nickel? The  H.L. Hunley Restoration quarter?

Maybe Lee Bright figures all he's got to do is call up Glenn Beck, Lanier Capital, former felon Gordon Liddy, Glenn Beck, Coast to Coast AM or any other other right-wing talk show gold hucksters and get their free kits to see how gold will never go down.
