On the left, Republican/Liberaterian presidential candidate Ron Paul. The Blog ran across this photo last night, setting off bells of mental recognition. "Where have I seen this before?"
A quick Google search answered the question and transported The PC back to his youthful days as a "Famous Monsters of Filmland" horror movie geek.
On the right, silent movie actor Charles Ogle as "The Monster" in the 1909 silent film adaptation of "Frankenstein."
Now, The Blog could probably make a political analogy here, if not for the fact that Ron Paul's poll numbers suggest that it would be a waste of time and energy to rant about his blatant racism couched in conservative rationalizations. Or about his ideas that are right for all the wrong reasons. Or about his dedication to the cult of "Objectivism," so strong that he named his son after noted novelist, sociopath and hypocrite Ayn Rand.
No, there is really no point.
Your ol' Uncle PC is just struck by the eerie similarities in these photos. Both, horrifyingly repulsive, yet endearingly amusing.
