Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I'm seeing one of the weirdest fanworks (and this is in the history including knitted wombs) get a bit more frequent--fan!tea. I'm now up to three people in two fandoms who are making different teas tied to different characters. I'm more than a little boggly at the idea, and I'm the one thinking of having babies with her tea machine.
I'm, just...Cas!tea? Sam!tea? What is that? Why do I want it? I fear my taste buds are too heathenish for all this subtlety.
So, Paul Ryan is the Republican VP nominee.
I guess Romney's not going to move to the center, then. (Not that I expected it.)
Charlie Pierce calls Paul Ryan "Granny-starver". Heh.
I love Charlie Pierce.
'Suela - are you kidding? Well, people expected it from the wiki updates.
The leaks are coming fast and furious.
I just don't even.
He could have picked Scott Walker. His smart choice would have been Rob Portman. This pick was Romney's Palin moment.
They broke into the 4x400 relay on NBC to announce it. So I assume it's not a joke.
Cash,
give me some analysis, why do you think this pick was so poor. I lack complete objectivity, so my reaction right now is a shrug, but I'd love to hear a more thoughtful reaction.
I don't think it's as bad as Palin--certainly Ryan has a lot of national fame. But he's very much on the hard-right side when it comes to fiscal issues, and he's a favorite among the Tea Party right.
