I love these Spoof articles on Ron Paul. Lately, they've been writing on the media blackout issue. Below is a partial snip of today's article:

"Quantum" Ron Paul materializes on New York Times website (http://www.thespoof.com/news/spoof.cfm?headline=s2i29249)


Scientists who study political quantum physics are analyzing the sudden appearance of a "quantum" Ron Paul in the political section of the New York Times website, two days later than what would normally be expected.

Physicists have previously debated the existence of a quantum Paul as an explanation for the mainstream media's mysterious coverage of him. Paul seems to exist and yet not exist in mainstream media news reports, intriguing many researchers who speculate that Paul is in some sort of quantum news flux.

"For example," explained Grant Fundley, a research scientist who does Ron Paul research in his spare time. "After placing second in Saturday's Nevada GOP caucus, Paul was not pictured in a political section on the New York Times website alongside other candidates who fared worse than he did. However, by late Monday afternoon Paul's picture and Nevada caucus results suddenly appeared alongside the other candidates' information. I immediately suspected it was a quantum Paul with positive spin."

I didn't think they could top the "Where's Pauldo" story but this one is so much better with the physics spin. Love it.

"This theory is based on the Second law of Pauldynamics," Fundley continued. "It's an expression of the universal law of increasing Paultropy. What's really intriguing here is that the New York Times observed the anti-Paul first and omitted him from their primary campaign reporting. But two days later they noticed the pro-Paul; this is unprecedented."

HA!
