I had my trusty Nikon camera ready this morning after I made my latest donation to the Ron Paul campaign . I love that feature.

1. There is an excellent interview of Dr. Ron Paul now up at Grist, the environmental news and commentary site, that explores some of his views on environmental and energy issues.
