Saying President Barack Obama is acting like a "king" by threatening to take executive action on gun laws, Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul cautioned the president to be ready for a fight on Capitol Hill.

"I'm against having a king," he said Tuesday in an interview in Jerusalem with the Christian Broadcasting Network. "I think having a monarch is what we fought the American Revolution over and someone who wants to bypass the Constitution, bypass Congress - that's someone who wants to act like a king or a monarch."

12. awesome, thank you. Rand Paul just endorsed the estate tax

We're not kingmakers here in the US, and that's always been one of the reasons for having an estate tax.

10. Check the link - the attack on Obama 'the monarch'

Must be under stress for the son's arrest
U.S. Sen. Rand Paul's son has been charged with assaulting a flight attendant during a trip from Kentucky to North Carolina.

The Charlotte Observer reported over the weekend ( http://bit.ly/W1D5kg ) that 19-year-old William Paul was charged with misdemeanor assault on a female by aggressive physical force. The paper had previously reported that he also was charged with underage drinking, disorderly conduct and being intoxicated and disruptive.

14. I'm pretty sure he didn't.

But that didn't stop the good folks of Kentucky (my state, by the way) from electing him to the Senate.

Sigh.
