Maverick GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul has booked an arena in Minneapolis for a "mini-convention" that could steal some of John McCain's thunder just days before he accepts the Republican nomination.
The campaign hopes the daylong event will "send a message to the Republican Party," Paul campaign spokesman Jesse Benton tells the Tribune-Review. "There is a growing surge of people out there "Dozens! Maybe even tens of dozens!"

True enough, but most of them also prefer victory to surrender, don't make excuses for terrorist goons, differentiate between "persistent" and "ineffective but annoying", can spot a hypocrite at ten paces, find racisim and anti-Semitisim distasteful, don't seek endorsements from whorehouses, are smart enough to know that 9/11 "truthers" are whackjobs (unlike you, Ron), and hate people who use spambots with the white-hot fury of a thousand burning supernovae. That's why they were never going to vote for you.

And they were hot nymphomaniacs, every one of 'em! Just like Rosie O'Donnell! Fire doesn't melt steel! Google it! It's the Jews and, and, and, the oil companies, and the pharmacy companies, and the people who suppressed the 100 MPG carbureator -- THEY did it. They're after me! I'm not paranoid! Hokey smokes, you actually read all of this small type? You must not have enough to do in your spare time. . . ."
