I’m on vacation right now, but I understand that the latest media-generated reason to hate Rand Paul, whom I have met on a grand total of two occasions, is that he is “chummy” with me. (Does it say something about the friendships of my critic if two encounters is considered “chummy”?)

If you oppose state coercion in all its forms, you are a terrible person with whom any decent person would be ashamed to be associated. And if you agree with abolitionist Lysander Spooner, you are also a “neo-Confederate.”

Should you wish to know more about Rand Paul’s dangerous chum — on the off chance that the media might (might, I tell you) leave out some minor aspects of my career — I refer you to my About page.
