Ron Paul speaking (6:44:12) at the Libertarian National Convention. He sounds really quite well, honestly - and for Ron Paul, looks it. Very ambulatory and articulate, and shouldn't be bothering us for a while.

His son has been worse off for years now. Somehow.

I'm currently working my way through Annie Jacobson's cheery new book Nuclear War, A Scenario, which I wouldn't recommend to anyone of a nervous disposition.   

 

Anyway, Bill Clinton's Secretary of state William Perry, 96, was interviewed extensively for the book and is clearly still very alert, with a good recall for previous events.  I just thought I'd mention that, as Perry is a perennial deadpool pick, but there never seems to be any news on how he's doing.

I have that book on my phone, and have been meaning to read it - is it good?

[DevonDeathTrip 2,325]

Very good. I like most apocalyptic fact and fiction .

 

Without getting too political, I do worry about Trump getting his hands on these toys again. I won't spoil it for you, but the 'Devils Scenario' which befalls California is particularly spine chilling.
