Symmetry required it: 2012 american general election thread #2

He was running carrying an old person on his back and pushing a welfare baby in a jogger stroller. If he wasnt under such an unfair load he totally woulda been sub three.

he created 5 businesses while on route

How fast can he run a 440 while undergoing electroshock?

it's super hilarious to me that Ryan is being painted/outed as a liar, not for his political speech, but for talking shit to Runner's World

dude CLEARLY didn't spend much time interacting with other runners, or else he thought he could hypnotize them with his magic abs

al gore is fat!!

Generally I think runners who could approach sub-3 hours in the marathon don't have a lot of love for P90X types.

that doesn't really make sense, just felt like throwing that out there.

So Paul Ryan's college girlfriend was/is hot, and better yet, wants nothing to do with him anymore.

This fuckin' guy.

gore smash tipper still jarring after all these years.

1) that is a weird video
2) since the video was about working out and not about her blanking Ryan, I googled her to find the disavowal and discovered the internet is gleeful that she spent time in jail
3) ;_;

sorry but it reminds me of this:

your favorite SNL skits, show me them

Rocker: (burning with rage at the audience) SHUT UP!! What are you looking at, you homo MEXICANS?? Any of you ever been bow hunting? I bow hunt! I love my FATHER! I love IRON EAGLE MOVIES! You all aint half the man my daddy is, Popeye John Rocker Senior!

Colin: John, what about your message for the new year?

Rocker: (to himself) Right. Stay focused, Rocker. Daddy's watching. Go hard, like WWF. (to audience) Okay, second, in the new millenium, I hope that we can all join together to track down that black baby that the Jews and the Pope had together and kill it before it can destroy the world.

no offense to the sportspersons out there

holy shit, I don't remember that skit at all, sounds amazing

"I started with rabbits, ducks and pheasant before getting into deer hunting. I worked mowing lawns when I was a kid to save money to buy a shotgun and bought a Browning BPS 20-gauge for pheasants," Ryan told the magazine. "I still have it." But "Shotgun Hunter" doesn't have the same ring to it (and "Deer Hunter" gets complicated).

"Shotgun Hunter" actually sounds pretty all right, as code-names go. Maybe doesn't roll off the tongue but it'd be a cool video game maybe? Or the name of an anime character. Rick "Shotgun" Hunter is a crackerjack mecha pilot...

i thought he used his sub3 speed and endurance to run his prey to exhaustion, then choked them to death.

Informal survey of always-on flatscreens at Denver airport:

At the bar attached to the Quiznos where I got a sandwich: Fox News, who are being extra-cunty and showing a rolling National Debt counter in the corner of their screen during their DNC pre-show coverage.

Everywhere else, at least in the United gates: Headline News, alternating between entertainment footage and DNC prep

Will report in again when I get to the hotel in Detroit Lakes tonight

ive been in that quiznos/bar!

Oh wait, and espn/2 on Colorado Sports Bar screens.

i think i mightve even posted abt it on ilx

ive been in that quiznos/bar!

Airport screens are where I'm always glad when somebody switches them to sports coverage.

Even boring-ass ballgames are infinitely better than the nonstop fucking CNN, whose self-promos made me want to throttle each and every network staffer.

i was at that quiznos in june.

At the bar attached to the Quiznos where I got a sandwich: Fox News, who are being extra-cunty and showing a rolling National Debt counter in the corner of their screen during their DNC pre-show coverage.

Hahahaha and yet they blow their lids anytime MSNBC does something remotely partisan...

What, like contributing money to republican campaigns?

note: flatscreen in hotel here was in breakfast area and switched off.

I ate at that Quizno's at 8am Denver time last Thursday

No thread about that Quizno's? Surely some mistake.

the quiznos/bar that unites all ilx

the chicken carbonara sandwich of peace

we should have a fap there, fly in, chill at the quiznos all day, fly out

The lady didn't get me when I asked for the special bbq sauce for my turkey sammich

No way I'm flying into Denver without seeing that satanic pony out front.

the 2012 Democratic National Convention in Charlotte

tryi8ng to keep track of these various threads

Gawwwd, is this guy stuck in his little right-wing nonsense-repeating bubble.

GOP vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan said President Barack Obama’s administration “purged” mentions of God from the Democratic Party platform Wednesday.

“I think it’s rather peculiar,” Ryan said on “Fox & Friends.” “It’s not in keeping with our founding documents, our founding vision. I’d guess you’d have to ask the Obama administration why they purged all this language from their platform. There sure is a lot of mention of government. I guess I would just put the onus and the burden on them to explain why they did all this, these purges of God.”

There are various detailed rebuttals of this meme online.

"I think it's rather peculiar. It's not in keeping with our founding vision," Ryan, a noted Ayn Rand fan, said on "Fox & Friends."

I don't want a rebuttal, I want a political party that purges God from their platform.

I have never wanted to be good at photoshop as much as now so I could put "These Purges of God" where it presently says "Charlotte, North Carolina"

It's like a cleanse but of deity

Just a little light Buddhism and some Hopi metaphysics
