let's get political, political, i want to get political...

since the iowa caucus is today, i'm feeling quite political, so let's talk about ron paul. i really don't know much about this guy, but he seems to have quite the following of fanatical freakshows (check out that alliteration, heh?). why the harsh words? well, when you are on a two-hour flight from new york to chicago and some nutjob holds up a ron paul bumper sticker the entire flight, you have the right to assume that something is a little wack-a-doodle. am i right?
