 I arouse like a Phoenix

Do you ever!!!

Martin thinks your name is too long.

Personally, I don't mind.  At all!

Your little sister sure knows a lot about Ron Paul.

Wait--how do we know you're not the little sister and the other posts weren't by the real James???

If I accidentally told an 11-year-old girl she aroused like a phoenix, I apologize.

Whoah, this SE Pennsylvania dual-identity stuff is getting too weird. Let's talk about Cookie Monster. This is topical & politically relevant, I promise:

Could this be the little sister!?

Is that letterpress? Fancy!

All this support of a man who named his child after Ayn Rand. And now I find it comes from an 11-year-old girl? I was guessing 13-year-old boy.

Um - is this true? Jesus.

Yep. Rand's philosophies were very dominant among certain political types during Ron Paul's formative years. There's very little that he proposes that can't be linked to ideas from The Fountainhead and/or Atlas Shrugged. He's not quite the true believer he was in the fifties and sixties, but he's way out there in support of her "ideas". Think of naming his son "Rand" as a form of intellectual sacrifice to her movement.

I thought this too, but according to Wikipedia, it's actually just short for "Randal." He was called "Randy" growing up and didn't go by "Rand" until much later on in life.

In regards to Dave from Knoxville calling me a 13 year old boy, I'M SEVENTEEN! Get your facts straight. Nothing against you though, you're one of my favorite callers.  Also, I haven't asked her, but I assume my sister looked up  most of that Ron Paul stuff online. I'm a big politics junkie, and I think some of that brushed off on her. We've watched EVERY SINGLE republican debate together. 

She thinks denigrating my name to the FOT is the funniest thing ever. she won't stop talking about it to me.

    Peace Out, JFSEP

Laugh with her, JFSEP.  It's good exercise!
