Or as Randy would put it, “Why steal new material when I 've already stolen the old stuff?”

When applied to a food, a movie, a book or an outfit the adjective ‘interesting’ usually connotes a person moderating their real negative opinion or a straw grabbed for lack of any other positive.

To my mind, interesting" is often just a polite way of saying something or someone is really, really, hilariously stupid.

Exactly, you don’t want to say, “this tastes like raw sewage served on a pile of dog vomit”, so you politely say that it’s interesting. Oddly enough, a Rand Paul presidency would be even less appealing than raw sewage served on a pile of dog vomit.

Interesting, huh… I would have gone with ‘funny’, and not the laugh-out-loud variety.

Here is a book:
Fine, Gary Allen. TALKING SOCIOLOGY. 4th edition.
Boston: Allyn and Bacon. 1997
In it, social issues ranging from Immigration to Stratification to Gender Roles are grappled from the standpoint of “Conservatism”, “Liberalism” and “Libertarianism”
It’s all very interesting, because it allows people to see polticians like Paul in a more accurate light.
The man is a huslter, plying elements of Libertarianism which are designed to appeal to various audiences–often what he espouses is unrealistic, for example, appealing to non-interventionist young people on matters in which non-intervention would be suicidal.
Moreover, the outcomes of pure Libertarianism would never be acceptable to present-day Americans. Maybe Americans in 1814. But not Americans in 2014.

Yes, yes, why this is just the “Liberal Media” showing it’s contempt for Real Americans by lionizing Rand (not my real first name) Paul in stead of Ronald Reagan! Reagan! Reagan!
It’s all a Grand Conspiracy by the U.N. and the Bilderberg Group to get Obummer elected for a 3rd Term in direct violation of the Constitution!!! Ahh, the flying monkeys are back!!! Help!! Help!!! BENGHAZI, BENGHAZI, BENGHAZI, IRS, OBOLA, Black Helicopters!!! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
I’m sorry. This is the Nurse. We have put him back in his room and sedated him,…again.
We will only let him out to Vote on Nov. 2nd. then, back into the padded room.

That bulldog, Chris Matthews has been saying this for more than a year now.
Translation:
We know you don't want him and that you disagree with 99% of his ideas, but we are determined to force him on you as President anyway.
All Your Middle Class Are Belong To Us.

Or in the sense of “may you live in interesting times”.

No doubt. It strikes me as particularly insane to keep coming back to a website, to continue providing clicks and thus ad dollars, to tell everyone how much you hate it here.
