Big fight on Saturday night, coincidentally on the same day that two major primaries are taking place. What better time for a little product placement? He’s 15-20 points off the pace in Nevada but the thinking is that boxing fans will tune into HBO, be stirred by the pluck and savvy of paying thousands of dollars to have a greasepaint Paulnut logo slathered on Jones’s back, and then rush out after the fight to their polling places to cast a vote for the man half-drunk and sight unseen. The only problem: The fight starts at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT and will probably last an hour, by which time the SC polls will almost certainly be closed and the Nevada caucuses, judging from the time given on the SoS’s page, will have long since been over. rEVOLution!

TNR has new excerpts from the Ron Paul “Survival” Report out today, in case you’re interested. I recommend the one from April 1993 about whether AIDS was manufactured in a lab. Or just skip it entirely and read the condensed version at Something Awful. How many parasitic destroyers of American society can you find in the word-search game? I’ve found two so far.
