    You did a really excellent job. IMO, your demeanor was perfectly balanced for the situation. Thank you so very much. All of us at dailybail.com were live blogging and rooting for you, Dr. Paul, and Grayson. It’s so ironic we have to tip toe around all the Barneys and Watts in life. What has this nation done to itself? I wonder if we’ll ever be able to correct our situation. Oh well, soldier on I guess. Visit dailybail.com–you’ll like it!

    An excellent take on the adverse effects of the military-industrial complex upon our economy. I live next to a military base myself; needless to say it is rife with systematic chaos.
