Filibullshit
So Rand Paul makes a point of filibustering (for ten hours! -- where have ye gone, Jimmy Stewart?) the renewal of NSA spy legislation. And, surprise, surprise!, he fundraises off it. With a "filibuster starter pack." Geez, the guy isn't even pretending to be sincere. Or hiding his contempt for voters.
Oh, man, it's gonna be a long year and a half.
