[QUOTE=Revtim] That’s **RuPaul** , you idiots. Ron Paul is the guy who invented the Veg-O-Matic and the Pocket Fisherman. [/QUOTE] Yeah? I got your Pocket Fisherman right here, baby. ---

When did Ronpole leave the Bailey, move to America, and decide to run for office? ---

[QUOTE=AskNott] Do you mean RuPaul and Ron Popiel, or RuPaul and Ron Paul? Are you sure it’s not Jean-Pierre Rampal? 😉 [/QUOTE] None of the above. He was a folk singer, best known for his 60s duo: **Ron Paul** and Mary. ---

Nah, the links are clearly talking about RuPaul Bunion, a giant foot–forty-two axe handles long–who dresses in a slingback pump and travels the land with his inflamed big toe, Babe. ---

[QUOTE=ForumBot] There is someone with some serious money who does not want a president who truly cares about the constitution to be president. I’m going to donate some money to his campaign tonight just out of spite. [/QUOTE] That someone is Rupert Murdock. He controls NewsCorp, a multi-continental media empire. His style of journalism is pounding on the sensational, and bending everything to favor conservatives. Recently, Rupert made a stab at buying Dow Jones (Wall Street Journal.) The WSJ’s reporting is straight up, but its editorial staff is quite conservative. Even so, the board of directors wanted nothing to do with Murdock. I can get riled up about Rupert, but I’m going to keep this post tame. ---

RuPaul Murdock, the transvestite lumberjack inventor of pocket pool who is now running for president also tried to buy the Wall Street Journal? Sounds fishy, bass-o-matic fishy. ---

> [@whole bean](#): > > Murdock was the crazy pilot of the A-Team. Hannibal was their leader. They had a van, not a time machine. Wait a second. The A-Team had a time machine? That makes perfect sense! How else could Murdock have invented the Veg-O-Matic without the help of technology from the distant furture. ---
