Rand Paul

[Hello_Kitty]

Ron named his son that. That just cracks my shit up every time I think of it. :rofl: How can anyone take a guy named "Rand" seriously? I know it's not his fault (and people will take him seriously anyway) but it's like naming your kid Grisham because you really enjoyed The Firm.

Rand Paul. :rofl:

1. I'd say it's worse than naming your kid Grisham because you liked The Firm.

More like you named your kid Hitler because you really liked Mein Kampf.

[Hello_Kitty]

6. Good point.

And sadly, I think a guy named Hitler would have a pretty good chance in a KY Senate race.

2. Paul Rand was one of the greatest graphic designers of all time

perhaps it was a play on words?

4. I'm sure it's in honor of Any Rand

the founder of libertarianism. That idea that your life will be better if only you don't' hesitate to f$%^&K anyone else in you way.

7. Nicknamed "Yoyo" no doubt.

to aptly express the philosophy of Ayn Rand.

[HeresyLives]

10. 'Ayn' Rand.

She founded Objectivism. and hated the later Libertarianism

14. Maybe it's after the South African currency?

Does he have siblings called Dollar, Pound and Yen?

5. Oh, I doubt it.

[Terra Alta]

8. DING!

I think you are onto something there....

[GreenPartyVoter]

9. I dunno. Except for probably having to do with Ayn Rand, it's not so bad I guess.

[HeresyLives]

11. Rand is also the South African currency,

and there is the Rand Corporation.

Rand Paul is raising money for a Senate run apparently.

12. I'm sure he will go by the name "Randy"

Hey girls, let's Roark!

[Nagasaki]

13. Actually...

His legal name is 'Randal' and his wife was the one that started to call him 'Rand', and not out of any sort of love for the novelist.

15. Rand, is running against Trey Grayson in Repub primary for Bunning's seat

They both should be running for the county line. They both suck.

[donheld]

16. Ron named him Randal!

Randal changed it. So says his father. Ron said he always has called him Randy and still does.

17. My ex-boss at ITT was named Rand
