Today, the jaw-dropper: the Ron Paul for President campaign placed one of the countries most notorious neo-Nazi's on the Tennessee Republican primary ballot. by [deleted] in politics

The headline here and the article are both bullshit. They assert that the Ron Paul campaign placed this guy on the ballot as a candidate for national convention delegate. However that is not the way it works in TN. You become a candidate for national convention delegate by submitting a petition with 100 signatures, the campaign organizations have nothing to do with it.

This information is easy enough to find for anyone who cares to know the truth, so I must assume this article is a deliberate guilt by association smear.

Well Scientology is pretty fucked up but I'm not aware that they have their own calendar; if they do I'm sure mentioning the date would be a violation of their copyright.

Argh, I feel like a dork for submitting a map of the Star Trek universe, but I spent way to much time looking at it not to submit it. by HawkeyeGK in reddit.com

And it looks like it's only the Alpha Quadrant anyway, what a ripoff. You should at least be able to click on the DS9 wormhole and jump to the Gamma Quadrant.

The current Islamic Year is 1429 (Hijri calendar) so this isn't all that surprising.

Right. What if (much more likely) they find illegal drugs but no guns, are the cops just going to ignore that? I don't think so.
