Sen. Rand Paul Gets in Trouble Again

The Facebook outrage of the day is now because of this inappropriate joke: Look, my view here is the same thing as with his dad’s newsletters: This was a joke in poor taste.

A Question on the Controversy Over North Carolina’s Amendment

I am surely going to regret posting this, but hey nobody said you could stay on the cutting edge of the blogosphere by playing it safe… So in the small society (and I use the term loosely) of my Facebook friends, people were very angry about the North Carolina amendment prohibiting gay marriage.

Herman Cain’s Solution to Entitlement Funding…

…is to get more Americans united behind smoking? James Miller in the comments passes along this odd campaign ad. (Believe it or not, there is a modicum of quality control here at Free Advice.
