Rand Paul Supporter Who Stepped On Activist's Head Wants Apology
Tim Profitt, the former Rand Paul volunteer who stepped on the head of a MoveOn.org-affiliated activist outside of a debate on Monday, said he thinks the woman, Lauren Valle, owes him an apology.

"I don't think it's that big of a deal," Profitt said of the incident in an interview with CBS affiliate WKYT. "I would like for her to apologize to me to be honest with you."

Profitt later said he was sorry "that it came to that," but he argued to WKYT that Valle was not an innocent bystander.

"She's a professional at what she does," Profitt said. "I think when all the facts come out, I think people will see that she was the one that initiated the whole thing."

Profitt also said that chronic back pain contributed to his actions: "I put my foot on her, and I did push her down at the very end, and I told her to stay down. I actually put my foot on her to -- I couldn't bend over because I have issues with my back," Profitt said.

2. Didn't Cheney get an apology from the man whom he shot?
'Sorry I got in the way of your fist/ boot/ gun.'

3. The World Turned Upside Down, Or is it Double Think?
How crazier can it get. Kind of a shameful appearance we have in the world theater.

Here is something that leads me to believe we are really polarizing as we did prior to the Civil War. My aunt, my own aunt, my god mother, won't speak to me anymore because our political views are that diverse. We loved each other all our lives.

How does one cure ignorance? Mencken, you right. There's no underestimating the intelligence of the American people. I feel like the Renaissance is coming to an end. Or like the fall of the Romans we will enter the Dark Ages again. It could be. Progress is not always linear. There are setbacks.

Maybe time to seek political asylum.
