Republican Frontrunners: Ron Paul Edition

Ron Paul is one of the Republican Presidential candidate frontrunners, he's also twins with Sir Ian McKellen (known to uber-nerds as Gandalf and regular nerds as Magneto). He's also one of those people whose names you have to say in full. Try saying "Ron" without saying "Paul". Go on, try it.

Ron Paul is all about small government yada, yada, yada, but he's also about ending the ludicrous spending on multiple wars and can actually answer questions intelligently. Ron Paul is my favourite Repub because he looks like a nice grandfather as opposed to an 80s date rapist (Rick Perry) and a robot that spells her name dumbly (Michele Bachman). Last night, Jon Stewart did a really funny bit on why Fox News ignores Ron Paul which you can watch here.

Mummy Issues

This week, the masses flocked to the Field Museum in Chicago to gawk at the uncanny resemblance between this Pharaoh and Michael Jackson. Shockingly, the statue has been in the museum since 1899 but it wasn't until last week that the face connection was made. When asked why he hadn't noticed the twinship sooner, the museum curator said: "I was never a follower of Michael Jackson, so no, I had never even thought about it." Say what?! Is the curator blind? I was never a huge follower of Gorbachev but I know his birthmark looks like the profile of a fallen angel puking blood!  

And as per usual, Fox News thinks the US is the centre of the world and ran this caption: "Pharaoh Statue Looks Like Michael Jackson". When really, considering the statue was made in 1500 B.C. and MJ was made in 1958 A.D. - shouldn't the caption read: "Micheal Jackson Looks Like Pharaoh Statue"?
