And yes, I know I'm "picking nits" here, but I get so tired of lousy grammar, poor spelling (for crying out loud, the computer has a spell checker!) and lack of capitalization. Put a smidgen of effort into it.

I don't know what it is about sucking at written English and disliking Ron Paul. If I didn't know any better...

LOL, I don't know if we can make the connection, but I can't dismiss it outright. I think it's more to blame on poor education, a penchant for text message shorthand (yes, I know I used it at the start of this post) and just plain old laziness on the part of the writer to get it right.

Or maybe you're on to something...

I edit a national magazine and write professionally. I've even won awards for comedy writing. And you know what? I think the only difference between Ron Paul and a bag of dog crap is the bag.

Nice try.
