I had read that somewhere, too, and believed it until recently. Apparently, his given name is Randal. But "Rand" is just TOO convenient a nickname, given the Paul family's slavish devotion to the bitch-goddess of pathological selfishness.

A Remington Rand. Yes, the people who make Remington rifles.

So what happens if Rand Paul discovers he was named after a typewriter???

so I have the sneaking suspicion that the Ayn Rand connection is stronger than what is let on, especially considering the political disposition of the Paul family.

bastardized capitalistic system; dumb and deadly (that is being very kind). Any economic system based on "survival of the fittest"
is evil and unsustainable.
I am elated that Bernie Sanders will probably run for POTUS. IF we can get Americans to vote then Bernie stands a good chance of winning. It will be the first time in my life that I will be able to vote without holding my nose. Well Carter was an exception but I knew then that he was too honest and not convinced of our need for reform (before Reagan the need was not as obvious).
Bernie will lead us in the non-violent fight against the status quo.

I would love for Bernie Sanders to run and win, but I am particularly excited about his running in 2016 because he will give cover to other candidates (specifically the Elizabeth Warren and Martin O'Malley types) who may challenge Hillary from the left. If Bernie runs and sets the left margin of the debate, either O'Malley or Warren could run between him and Hillary and potentially win the nomination.

I'd like to see that happen.

It'll lose business because and close down because it's patrons die, so no need to worry!

Of course when it does go out of business, it'll just reopen under a new name and kill more. But that a small price to pay for our libertarian paradise! And once again for the irony challenged, this is .

A fundamentalist, a war criminal, and a moron. Or "moran". Whichever works.

I'd change the punchline to "Mr. Resident." But that's just me. And it's likely nobody'd get it.

I STILL remember all the words to it. Thanks for the boogie down Memory Lane!

walk into a bar together. After a few drinks Ayn says to Rand, "Use me like the whore I am, take me, take me violently, and give to me your wanton masculine prowess."

Rand Paul looks Ayn up and down and says, "So, whats in it for me?"
