Ron and Rand Paul want to use their special brand of radical nuttiness
to "save" the Net

http://j.mp/M9gXAD  (BuzzFeed)

    The manifesto quotes Austrian economist Ludwig von Mises and
    attacks not just the federal government, but also progressive
    groups that have called for similar measures to keep the Internet
    largely unregulated:  "Today, the road to tyranny is being paved
    by a collectivist-Industrial complex -- a dangerous brew of
    wealthy, international NGO's, progressive do-gooders, corporate
    cronies and sympathetic political elites."

Oh goodie, the "Pauls" want to use their special brand of radical
nuttiness to save the Net.  Read this one real closely, and you'll see
why as far as I'm concerned they're about as welcome as a Rush
Limbaugh "Open Internet" all you can eat picnic. The problem with
them, of course, is their usual mix of correct and utterly wrong
stances.
