Ron Paul Hanging Ten

Writes Mike: “I caught a bit of a TV show on surfing the other day. The imagery when the wave riders catch a big one is pure unadorned freedom. I was also struck by the effort they go through to put themselves in position. Swimming out there, floating around by themselves, performing a paddling motion very attractive to sharks. Not my idea of a good time, but one could never call them weak or cowardly.

“Seemed a perfect metaphor for Dr. Paul. He’s gotten himself out there, despite all attacks, and he’s still upright and above water. He must be experiencing a text book definition of alone.

“What he is riding will depend on you and me, gentle reader.

“The time will come.

“Be the wave.”
