    I’m no RFK supporter, but that shit was muckraking by NYT. Granted, I question his choice in using the excuse of having a worm in his brain to avoid paying alimony to his ex-wife, but it wasn’t being reported honestly and they acted like this was some new revelation that happened in the last few years rather than well over a decade ago.

    RFK is not electable, but I will concede that I like three of his positions quite a bit:

    • Money out of politics
    • Housing and barring corporate ownership of single-occupancy homes
    • Cutting defense spending

    He’s got so many issues that keep him from being a serious contender, but those three subjects are important and he stands on the right side in that regard.
