Who is Ron Paul?

Sir Bufton Huffchester manages to write a few thousand words on the next American presidential election without once mentioning Ron Paul, the winner of the recent CPAC vote, ahead of all other Republicans, including the Prom Queen and the Mormon Money Man.

Now, Sir Huff will know who Ron Paul is and what CPAC is. However, in the unimaginable case that he doesn't, I thought I might prod him with a gentle hint:

It's a real shame you forgot to mention him, Sir Huff, but the only real hope for America is President Ron Paul, hopefully backed by Vice-President Peter Schiff.

Any other scenario is a dollar worth nothing, and a collapsing American Empire imploding faster than the Soviet Union one did.

Secession, anyone? My bet is that Texas will be first out of the blocks, followed by Vermont, New Hampshire, Montana, and Alaska, in no particular order.

The only thing holding the rest together will then be the federal guns of Mordor-on-the-Potomac. But when US soldiers eventually refuse to fire on Americans, the game will be up and the whole thing will fall apart, much to the relief of everyone outside Washington D.C.
