Let’s all take a second and appreciate how nice it’s been on the Net now that Ron Paul has dropped out of the presidential race. It’s been weeks since I’ve had to scroll through pages of cut-and-pasted laudatory screeds about how RP was going to save us from ourselves and the coming monetary/constitutional collapse/invasion of the zombies from Neptune, if only we’d listen to the Truth. I don’t know or care where the PaulBotTards have all gone, but hasn’t it been nice?
I mention this because right now is the Golden Age of the Net. We’re post-Ron Paul, but pre-election. See, once a Democrat is elected president, all those militias that we haven’t heard a peep out of during the Bush years will come roaring back and every comment thread will be black helicopters and jackboots. It’ll be so ’90s, you’ll think you were listening to EMF and wearing Girbaud jeans.
Man, that is going to suck.

All of Dr. Pauls flying monkeys are safely back in their mothers basement playing World of Warfare.
I have to say that the coming together of leader and followers in his candidacy was inexplicable. I doubt most of his young followers truly understood what his real intentions were. Susan Jacoby should write a book about it.Either her or me. But probably her.
