New world Rand

Rand Paul - embattled GOP Senate candidate in Kentucky - may think he's a "New World Man", like the title of a song by the band Rush, but his ideas are old and stale.

After the McCain campaign kept getting caught using well-known songs without permission from the writers or performers, you'd think Rand Paul wouldn't be dumb enough to do the same thing. But then again, Rand Paul is Rand Paul.

Paul is now using Rush songs in his campaign - without permission from the band. The band's attorney has asked Paul to stop, but he refuses to say whether he will.

In response to the request to stop, a Paul campaign official sniffed that the real issue is repealing the recent health care law. You read that right, folks: Paul is running on repealing a massively popular law.

I know of one Rush song whose title describes what's behind the Rand Paul campaign: "Big Money"!
