Sorry if this has already been posted - but I had to do a double take when I saw the Christian Science Monitor's coverage of Ron Paul's CPAC win... Especially the picture!

Ron Paul conquers CPAC - obliterates all opponents in straw poll

Texas Rep. Ron Paul (not pictured) steamrolled opponents yesterday in the CPAC straw poll. Paul received 31 percent of the vote. Mitt Romney finished second with 22 percent while Sarah Palin came in third with seven percent.

LOL at the "not pictured" part! :)

This is not a joke. This really IS the picture they used! :)

Is that picture from Mad Max? (Nevermind they said it in the article.)

I sure they showed that picture just to help people get an idea of how things would be if Ron Paul wasn't elected in 2012.

Hmm, IIRC Mad Max is about what would happen if law (as in government) and order (as in pigs) ceased.

I'll admit the rest of the article isn't real flattering... but the picture and headline are laugh out loud funny...

...or maybe I've just got a twisted sense of humor...

I've been called a "Mad Max-ilk" for saying that the economy is not going to get better.

Are you all aware, that CSM writer JIMMY ORR is the same guy who wrote that flaming TRUTHER crap about Debra Medina... almost immediately after the Beck incident.

I wasn't analyzing it, just a smartass general comment.....

No, I didn't know that.

Makes the guy a complete *sshole in my book.

But I still think the picture is funny.

Maybe with the next Ron Paul/Liberty movement success, Orr needs to receive a few thousand Ron Paul/MadMax photoshopped "ToldYaSo" photos... :)
