You know, when things get boring the price of a moving picture show ticket gets too high, there’s Ron Paul to the rescue.

Why we haven’t given that man an Academy Award beats me.  Best actor in a Looneytarian role would be perfect.

He took his roadshow to Maine yesterday and his supporters took over the convention.

Ron Paul supporters narrowly won the chairmanship of the convention today.

Brent Tweed edged Charles Cragin 1,118 to 1,114 in a very close vote.

UPDATED:  David let us know that the Paulites also had fun in Nevada.

In a show of anti-establishment power at Saturday’s Nevada Republican Convention, GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul supporters ousted two Mitt Romney backers from the Republican National Committee.

The vote came during a day of clashes between the two camps as Paul backers sought to install his people in the party hierarchy and elect as many Nevada delegates as possible to the national convention in Tampa, Fla.

Now here’s what I’m hoping.  The Republican convention in Texas is the first weekend in June.  I need someone from a foreign state to keep a close eye on it for me because I will be at the Democratic convention at the same time.

There will be four groups of people at the Republican convention in Texas.

1.  The “There’s Only One Real Christian Here and It’s Me” caucus.  Rhinestone Jesus pin required.

2.  The “Let’s Go Piss On The Widow Woman’s Fire Kindling Just Because We Can” caucus – also known as The Greedorama Caucus

3.  The “Let’s Forget About Ronald Reagan and That Raising Taxes Thing” caucus.  The smell of Ben Gay is a little overwhelming at this caucus.

4.  The Looneytarians.

So, I’m betting that the Looneytarian caucus can whip up on the others.  Because proving you’re a Christian and a follower of Godless Ayn Rand at the same time just confuses the opposition.

Thanks to Ralph for the heads-up.
