Ron Paul: Worst Bookmark Ever
Today one of my school books came in the mail for my Theories of Writing class, Cross Talk In Comp Theory, a rather large, boring textbook on different… well, theories in writing. Not the sort of reading you do while relaxing on the beach, I can tell you that much. Alas, the plight of the grad student.
There are few things I hate more than politics. Very few. So when I opened my book, delivered from Alibris.com, I was shocked at the bookmark waiting for me inside, fresh from Blessed By Books out in California.
How lovely! A Ron Paul bookmark to call my own. Ron Paul for President 2008. Just what I wanted. A man who claims to be pro-life, but won’t ban abortion and is against gun control.
Well, thank you Blessed By Books!
You’ve just blessed my garbage can.
I thought that was so funny!

“But…but… he’s Ron Paul, the internet loves Ron Paul” - typical digg.com user

It could have been worse.
It could have been a Rudy Giuliani bookmark.

i think i read somewhere that he doesn’t believe global warming is a real threat to the planet. um. how is it that someone could be taken seriously *at all* as a presidential candidate in the 21st century who doesn’t acknowledge global warming?
the other day i got a menu stuck in my door that had a bible verse on it. thanks, but no, thanks. the circular-free sticker on my door means i don’t want menus or salvation littering my stoop, thanks.

I had a similar experience. It was a Falun Gong bookmark. I’m not sure what those people are up to…but I’m a-scairt.
Ron Paul believes that if we eliminate everything, then we’ll have something.
That is either starting over or a belief that compassionate capitalists will take care of those that fall through the cracks. Does that ever happen?
I’ll give him this… anti-war, non-interventionist, anti-federal reserve bank…. those aren’t bad notions.
Every Ron Paul fan that I’ve ever met, however, seems to have a chip on his shoulder or a really big vein on their forehead that looks ready to burst. Scary.
