Appauling Appeal
November 25th, 2007This article is one of the funniest I’ve read in a long time and it really made a slow day much better. Basically, the Ron Paul campaign wants to buy a Ron Paul blimp. The author of the piece on it mocks the idea and Ron Paul supporters expertly, and I greatly enjoyed it. See, I think Ron Paul is a lunatic and an idiot. I don’t think his supporters have a good understanding of politics or a grasp on reality. The thing is, there are far too many of them on my College campus, and I was in fact recently stunned while having morning coffee with a good friend. We’re sitting there, Jon and I, when I notice that we’re on the second story of University Hall and say, “I wonder how someone got up and put that Ron Paul bumper sticker on the window.” There was another in the next one, too!
They’re crazy. I’m just glad they haven’t killed me yet. A friend of mine, Christopher, met him and took a picture with him. I saw it and asked our mutual friend, Dana, about it. “Dana, is Ron Paul toothless?” “What?” “Does Ron Paul have teeth?” “Of course he has teeth!” I think she was a little irritated because she’s a big libertarian and I have referred to those movements I find inept as “toothless and impotent” so she might’ve thought I was insulting libertarians. I wasn’t — I just wanted to know if Ron Paul has teeth!
All I know is, I’m a lucky man who will be back with “real news” tomorrow. Today’s just been a slow, “easy” day.
