    @Null42: that's the other kind of mind control. Non wavie.

    There's another kind of mind control besides the kind the Wavies are having. They're called Wavies by coincidence theorists who believe derision is the best way to automatically discredit anyone who seems overly sensitive to the electromagnetic smog constantly surrounding everybody's heads. The coincidence theorists believe that Wavies wear tin foil hats to keep out all the Y-rays. Nope, the other kind of mind control is lots more sinister, but if I told you about it I'd have to bore you to death.

    Oh, right. Ron Paul is crazy because he posed for a picture with that guy.


    Yes, Ron Paul opposed the Iraq war... he opposed allowing Paulson and Bernake hand out $2 trillion of taxpayer money without meaningful oversight or disclosing who receives it... Ron Paul thinks illegal wiretapping and the Patriot Act are unconstitutional... Ron Paul dared to point out to the Republican party before millions of Americans at the debates that there is nothing conservative about increasing the national debt beyond precedent or starting wars...


    See? He's a fucking nut. Don't listen to a word he says, people.


    (Seriously. I don't know how the hell me made it through medical school... and years of a successful practice as an obgyn... he should be locked in a loony bin!)

    @GuyBitchy:

    damn, i'm afraid your tinfoil hat is a on a bit too tight.

    ron paul isn't the crazy one, the people who feel the need to defend him every time a lame joke about him is said are the ones that need to be in the loony bin.

    i'd back him up, but there's nothing there about people like me who are not being tortured by mind control but actually enjoying it quite a bit.

    thanks to the CIA i no longer have to put an alarm on in the morning, i just wait for the morning shift to check in to my brain. hell, just this morning i wasn't sure whether to go for the sesame bagel or the everything bagel but the voice in my head quickly told me to go for the sesame bagel. if it wasn't for the CIA i might have poppy seeds between my teeth right now.
