Word To Your Mother

Posited: Paul Ryan is to serious political thought as Vanilla Ice is to serious music.

Stop.  Collaborate and listen....

And no, I don't really support the tactic of making fun of people for looking silly in pictures, but man, it's different when you pose, and Paul Ryan is a tremendous poseur.  Here is a man who chose to release this image because he thought he looked badass, with his hat on backwards like that, and those buff calves.  Deadly, no doubt, when he hears that dope melody.  If there was a problem, yo he'll solve it.  Kick it.

I am embarrassed for my generation.

Said it before and I'll say it again...he's Palin. Younger than the candidate, sexier than the candidate, and a Tea Party darling. That said, Palin was at least capable of delivering her home state (not like Alaska would have gone for Obama but still...) If Romney doesn't carry Wisconsin I'll put Ryan down with Edwards as the oddest VP picks of my lifetime.

Sorry, but that's not entirely fair. V.Ice restores furniture and is not a horribly closeted dry-queer. Also, Screech there never got the scripts that were worth his enormous talent. Plus, and this is the really funny part, Dancing Queen may nail his Jazzercise routine on a weekly basis at the gym, but ole Joe will still shiv ya in the shower, prison style, which is very vice presidential, when you think about it.

I think we'll all agree that it's only a matter of time before Paul Ryan's disturbing sex tape comes out.

Hilarious! I thought that picture was a joke when it first started appearing. But alas...In the words of Ricky Bobby (Will Ferrell): "That just happened!"

This reminds of a commercial we get on our local television stations. Jerry Jones (owner of the dallas cowboys) is doing this rap bit for Papa John's pizza. Dumber than frikkin' dirt. I get that it's supposed to be funny, but it fails on that account and comes off as -dare I say - cheesy. It makes me wonder what the hell is the point in being a billionaire if you still have to do embarrassing tv commercials for shitty pizza chains.

I sure miss BOTF during election season.

BTW...The Onion has a shirtless pic of Joe Biden washing a corvette and holding up a 16oz energy drink (or beer). It's a laugh. This Ryan pic should be satire too.

Ben, a bunch got together on the reddit site (Arch was rounding folks up--I'd completely forgot I even had an account) on Wednesday to liveblog the VP debate. I have to admit, it was pretty fun. I think the plan is to do it again on the next one.

The difference between Ryan and Palin, by the way, is that some people actually think R-dawg is smart. Evidently they do, and no, I don't get it either. Maybe because instead of winking and aw-shucksin' he wrinkles his brow and makes serious sad eyes, but it's just as farcical. I keep thinking that the dude's too creepy and false to sell used cars, but hey.

I can't believe those pictures either. He did it on purpose, and took it seriously. Hilarious.

The Ryan pics look like they'd fit for a profile of Dunder Mifflin's Michael Scott in "Small Businessman" magazine. Maybe the "Lazy Scranton" vid....

Good call. Steve Carrell knew how to play a guy who didn't know it was hilarious.

Ryan actually looks a lot like an old boss of mine.
