Two Ron Paul items

1) Reason magazine has an insightful article on the paradox of Ron Paul's candidacy:

If Paul's campaign gathers no momentum, his impact on the presidential race will be minor and salutary. If Paul's campaign gathers momentum, he will be swiftly and horrifyingly destroyed by brickbats hurled from every bunker in the 2008 field. We can shorten this to one sentence: The success of Ron Paul's message is inversely proportional to the support his campaign receives.

2) Bill Maher clip: "Ron Paul is my new hero." Strange bedfellows.

Boy, that's depressing. I detect a bitter pessimism born out of years of marginalization. I'm going back to my happy fantasy land, where government gets smaller.
