Ron Paul Gets His Day: The Federal Reserve’s distaste for government audits comes under scrutiny today at a hearing of the House Financial Services Committee. Texas Republican Rep.

Sorry GB's cape is at the dry cleaners.

It's a political move on the Fed's part not to appear to give the hearing any importance.
Ron really wrapped lawyer Alvarez around the axle from the get-go.
