Okay, Rand Paul’s latest stunt been mentioned here already, but I can’t resist sharing Mr. Pierce’s response to the lesser Paul:
… On behalf of [Rachel Maddow], I offer myself as second, but not in a contest of crude firearms. No, my lad. We will be civilized. I will meet you in a place of your choosing and, since I will be representing the one challenged, I get choice of weapons, and we will duel with epees, my young buck. We can go to 15 touches, or to first blood. I care not. I say now, you are a cheat and an internet thief, and I proclaim it to the world. I accept challenge. I will hear from you within the week as to time and place or I will protest your cowardice to the ends of the kingdom. Now, young lackbeard, you know my mind. Dawn comes every day…
This, I would subscribe to cable and pay-per-view to witness. After refreshing vague memories from a college fencing class with a most instructive Wikipedia entry, my bet would be Rand gets caught attempting to rig the electrified tip, blames it on one of his assistants, and then shorts out his body cord when he gets a glimpse of his opponent and loses control of his bodily functions.
