I think they came to "agreement" too easily and that it really covers up the real differences between them. Paul (and his father) have a lifetime of practice at sounding reasonable to others while still being extremely radical in their views.
Notes from Howard's Sabbatical from Working. The name comes from a 1998 lunch conversation. Someone asked if everything man knew was on the web. I answered "no" and off the top of my head said "Fidel Castro's favorite color". About every 6-12 months I've searched for this. It doesn't show up in the first 50 Google results (this blog is finally first for that search), AskJeeves says it's: red.

Jon Stewart Interviews Rand Paul
