Smoking Era Ends in Neyland Stadium
The KNS reports that smoking will no longer be allowed inside the gates of Neyland Stadium. For a long while, it has been allowed in the concourse only.

Ron Paul Blowback?
It was only a matter of time before “Ron Paul Blowback” would happen on the internet.

Ron Paul with Stephanopolous
Stephanopolous acts like he’s never heard any of this before…unbelievable. And the look on his face when he tells Dr. Paul, “that’s not going to happen.” What a twerp.
