I have not paid much attention to Ron Paul’s campaign at all, to be honest. However, I do know that Paul has some sort of a cult following that has been stirring up controversy with the wingnuts. It hadn’t been of interest, because Ron Paul hasn’t got a chance to even get out of the starting gate, [...]

I’m thinking a Ten Post Round-Up will make me a feel a whole lot better…

In today’s WaPo is a must read post on “soldiers from the 1st Battalion, 18th Infantry Regiment, 1st Infantry Division.” The 1st Batalion just happens to be the same Battalion of the now infamous Scott Beauchamp, who the wingnuts have virtually crucified for months in the blogosphere.

It’s hard to sleep tonight knowing that so many areas around Southern California are burning out of control.
