Rand Paul is so often wrong, but when he’s right, he’s often really right.

Pete and Sarah were mainstays of my Mormon experience growing up. Their oldest—a famously rowdy boy with several rowdy younger brothers—was present on the Sunday when I was introduced in children’s classes as a newcomer to the congregation. When I outgrew children’s classes and made my way to youth Sunday School, Pete was our teacher for a while—the kind of teacher who tried to suppress a giggle (and usually unsuccessfully) whenever the word “ass” (especially “dumb ass”) appeared in the KJV.

Rand Paul is very often wrong, but I always appreciate when he comes through.

Unsurprising but disappointing.

The thing about Rand Paul is that sometimes he gets things very right, even though he so often gets things so wrong.
