As we know, Willard Mitt Romney promises nothing except “the ownership society” on steroids (here).

However, I want to digress for a minute and focus on That Upstanding “Catholic” man Paul Ryan for a second.

This, to me, was a hell of a catch by Paul Slansky at HuffPo; did you know that rape is a “method of conception” according to Mr.-Puppy-Dog-Eyes-With-The-Shiv-In-His-Pocket?

And, by the way, that supposedly is "an improvement over what we have now" according to Ryan? WHAAAA????!!!

Actually, the exact quote when asked by the brainless corporate media stenographer about rape and conception (and DEAR GOD, CAN THE REPUGS PLEASE JUST ALL SHUT UP ABOUT THIS??!!) is “the method of conception doesn’t change the definition of life” (witness the vile, right-wing conservative framing in response to a question about a horrific attack of sexual violence, as if the woman is nothing more than a vessel to incubate the embryo until it forms as a fetus and the woman conceives).

I believe no other conservative politician since The Sainted Ronnie R has managed to make a career out of making the most despicable misstatements of fact and/or opinion besides Ryan. The faux earnestness of his expression while he utters this contemptible garbage is a nauseating travesty unto itself…

Update 9/4/12: And speaking of Romney/Ryan, insert your own caption for this one, comrades!

Update 9/5/12: That "fine, Christian man" strikes again (here).

…and changing topics, I guess this is appropriate for the holiday (Prog Rock lives! I just wish that damn screen would stop flipping! And yes, I also thought of Spinal Tap as listened to this.)
