Yes, that's true and good for him if he's a good OB. I hope he goes back to it. However, this is not a mere lack of diligence or distraction. This is a guy saying, "I'll put something out with my name on it for years at a time and not check on it." That is collossally inept. That makes JFK getting his boat cut in half by a destroyer look like Washington at Yorktown.
So, you think JFK getting his PT boat cut in two in the blackness of the Pacfic ocean ineptness?
Ron Paul is a competent, principled individual.
He would be so as President.
Have you seen the turning radius of a PT boat and the turning radius of a destroyer? See "A Question of Character: The Life of John F. Kennedy" by Thomas Reeves for full details. Reeves says Kennedy and his crew wre probably literally caught napping. That sounds like Paul's newsletter story to me.
