It’s Ryan:

Mitt Romney announced Saturday he's selected Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin as his vice presidential running mate. The announcement came just after 7am ET via Mitt's VP, a mobile application launched by the campaign earlier this month.

Paul Ryan information

His acumen:

His attempts to school a harpy:

Cue the detractors:

Congressman Paul Ryan is best known as the author of a budget so radical The New York Times called it “the most extreme budget plan passed by a House of Congress in modern times.” With Mitt Romney’s support, Ryan would end Medicare as we know it and slash the investments we need to keep our economy growing — all while cutting taxes for those at the very top.

Paul Ryan’s idea was to stretch out Medicare which will go kaput if nothing is done.

But here’s the thing: Paul Ryan isn’t just a extremist—he’s young, smart, and charming. The media constantly describe him as looking like “the boy next door.” He’s the ultimate wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Move On’s poster boy is Michael Moore. Enough said.

“For one thing, Ryan has no significant private-sector experience,” he wrote. He wrote this with zero ackowledgment of Obama’s private-sector experience scooping mint-chip at Baskin-Robbins. If the rest of the media follows this line, this is going to be shamelessly biased.”

Is this the same President Obama who has no private sector experience, agreed to meet Iran without pre-conditions, declares Islam to be a part of America’s national story (he wishes), has run the national debt into the trillions, tried to kibosh the Keystone Pipeline, lied about returning a much-valued Winston Churchill bust, golfs more than he leads and has made this election about class even though he came from affluence?

But no detractors here.

Did you know that the JDL is an anti-Semitic organisation? 

The JDL Web Site, events and members are full of hate and racism against Christians, Muslims and other communities in Canada. The JDL hate blog features Rabbi Meir Kahne, whose writing are considered the foundation for most modern Jewish terrorist groups. Two other organizations founded on his principles, Kach and Kahane Chai, were added to the list of terrorist organizations by USA after one of the JDL members Baruch Kopel Goldstein committed the Cave of Patriarch massacre. The JDL Canada members are trained in martial arts and often try to bully the participants of peaceful anti-Israel protests organized by conscientious Canadians.

Yeah, I saw it and can’t believe the nuthatchery, either. Here’s some music.

What do Imelda Marcos, Jiang Qin, Elena Ceaușescu and Ri Sol Ju have in common?

In a move reminiscent of Marie Antoinette, Ri Sol Ju, wife of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, was spotted sporting a luxury Christian Dior purse on Tuesday. The bag, identified as a Lady Dior Clutch, retails for about $1,600 in South Korea, which is roughly the equivalent of an average North Korean worker’s annual salary.

The extravagances of Kim and his recently unveiled wife have come under intense scrutiny as North Korea continues to suffer from chronic food shortages. It’s a long-standing crisis only worsened by floods in June and July that destroyed many North Korean farms and is expected to have a significant effect on food supplies in the tightly closed-off country.

There are 328 million English speakers worldwide. In 2006, there were 18.1 million English speakers (Anglophones, if you will) in Canada. So why are there language spies in Canadian airports?

Houses and food are for suckers!

Last fall, the Attawapiskat Indian reserve declared a state of emergency. Despite $90 million poured into the reserve over five years by the federal government — into a town with fewer than 500 families — there were dozens of band members living in shanties and shacks, and even some families in tents.

The consensus media responded like Pavlov’s dog. They knew the official narrative: Attawapiskat needed more money. The problems were clearly caused by the heartlessness of the Conservatives who were mean at best, and probably racist, too.

That was the official line of the Media Party, and it was regurgitated again more than a week ago by the Court Party. Michael Phelan, a liberal judge on the Federal Court, declared that the problems on the reserve were most definitely not the fault of financial mismanagement or “incorrect” spending, and so the financial manager sent there by Ottawa to look into the mess had to leave.

Case closed.

Except that, right in the middle of this so-called state of emergency, when people were in leaky houses and tents, the Attawapiskat Indian band — with three chiefs and 18 band councillors on the payroll — made an important financial decision.

They needed a new ice resurfacer for their hockey rink.

They haven’t rebuilt their school up there, since it was torn down because of diesel fumes. They’re living in shacks. (Well, not the chief, of course.)

But forget about such trivial problems. These clowns needed a new ice resurfacer.

You can see a copy of the invoice for it on this page: $96,089 for an Olympia model ice resurfacer.

Now, a nitpicker might point out that the state of emergency was not formally declared until a few weeks after the Olympia order was made. But that’s the thing. There may have been a housing emergency in the mind of the media. But the highest priority for the band was their hockey emergency. So that deal for the ice resurfacer still went ahead.

Scrap the Indian Act if you want the aboriginals to get on their own two damn feet and stick it to the corrupt chiefs who depend on their weakness for their own financial gain.
