Alex Baer: Update from the Asylum

Ryan v ObamaWell, how about that:  An always-blindfolded Willard Romney has finally chucked a dart at the photos staff had taped up on the wall, picking a running mate:  Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin.

OK -- so, checking the scorecard:  That makes a presumptive presidential candidate who's had everything he's ever wanted from the moment of birth... to a veep wannabe who has a burning need to take everything else left away from absolutely everyone else.  Perfect!

Note to Republican Party:  Stop pussyfooting around and get on with it.  Get real -- rename yourselves the Great American Fascist Faction (GAFF) and get it over with.  It's been one lock-stepping gaffe after another with you boneheads, and it's showing no sign of any let-up.

Truth in advertising is important, especially when it's the only truth that will ever emerge from your new super-Dud Duo, Lie-Man and Fibbin'.  But, then, that's probably what all your flip-flopping is about -- an attempt to be partially truthful, sequentially, if only in pieces, here and there, now and then, off and on, with a little of this and a little of that.

We already know that you and Republicans -- sorry, GAFFers -- have no actual plans to govern.  You've all proven it endlessly already, in the last three and a half years.  The sum total of espoused and demonstrated governance has been to fold your arms, plant your feet, and say "NO" over and over again -- setting an all-time historic record of saying no.
