Man, I haven’t felt this awful in a long time. Every time I cough, it feels like I’m rubbing a cheese grater against my bronchial tubes.

Pimp My Ride
21-Dec-07
Why does Ron Paul arouse such devotion? Tucker Carlson’s essay Pimp My Ride answers that question better than anything else I’ve read.
Though Paul argues passionately for liberalizing marijuana laws and is beloved by potheads (Timothy Leary once held a fund-raiser for him), he has never smoked pot himself. He sounded shocked when I asked him. “I have never seen anyone smoke marijuana,” he said. “I don’t think I’d be open to using it.” For some people, libertarianism is the philosophical justification for a zany personal life. Paul, by contrast, describes his hobbies as gardening (roses and organic tomatoes) and “riding my bicycle.” He has never had a cigarette. He doesn’t swear. He limits his drinking to an occasional glass of wine and goes to church regularly. He has been married to the same woman for 50 years. Three of their five children are physicians.
Ron Paul is deeply square, and every bit as deeply committed to your right not to be.
