...pretty goofy, especially when you're a surgeon. Always amusing, to us anyway, is the great drama of the skin incision. This much you should know about real surgery: The skin incision is the easiest part.

Paul, a 72-year-old hard-core libertarian Republican Congressman who is against foreign intervention, subsidies and the federal income tax, is not only drawing impressive crowds (more than 2,000 at a post-debate rally at the University of Michigan last month) but also raising tons of cash...
