With each week, what Bernanke and his cohort are saying gets more and more ridiculous.

What is next ?

I think i have found a solution to Fed's dilemma of how to raise rates ( to break the commodity boom) without actually raising them (to protect housing values).

Two tiered rate structure and targeted liquidity !

The Fed would target two separate rates, one reserved for housing and associated industries, the other for the rest of the economy.
The Fed would loan money at 3% as long as it would go towards housing !

The entire new bureaucracy could be created to enforce those rules.
