Shaving Prophet Ryan
Congressman Paul Ryan seems to be one of those unfortunate men who, to look clean shaven, needs to shave two to three times a day.
President Richard Nixon had a similar look, a permanent seven o’ clock shadow.
Its a current fashion statement by young men to sport designer stubble, a permanent three or four day growth.
This look wouldn’t suit Ryan, if he shaved every three days, he would have a full beard twice a week.
But having a heavy beard is not a crime, fooling the American people to think that he is an expert on all things related to the $3.6 trillion U.S. budget is. Perhaps not a crime, but just a little dishonest.
Prophet Ryan, the budget doomsayer
Economics is known as the ‘Dismal Science’ mainly because its a very dismal subject. How come Ryan is an expert in such a mind-boggling calling? Truth is, he’s not.
With help from the taxpayers, Ryan graduated in 1992, from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. He graduated with a double major in Economics and Political Science. Impressive, but not enough to make you the ‘go to guy’ on the world’s biggest and most powerful economy.
After graduation he headed straight to Washington D.C and, among others, worked for Jeane Kirkpatrick and William Bennett. He was a speechwriter for Jack Kemp and Sam Brownback.
In 1997 he did work for the family business, Ryan Incorporated Central, in Janesville, Wisconsin, but in 1998 he was back in Washington when he was elected to the House of Representative and he’s been there ever since.
So, for the majority of his adult life he has been feeding at the public trough. One year of working in the private sector is not enough to call yourself an expert in anything related to business and the economy, unless you are a politician of course.
Mitt Romney could teach Ryan a thing or two about being dismal and about money. Where to hide it. The best banks in Switzerland and the Cayman Islands. Ryan puts me in mind of Newt Gingrich, I’m not saying that he is a philandering, rubber-mouthed gob of lard because he’s not. But, he does have the same pseudo-intelligence, the same arrogant swagger, devoted to public service, but wanting to be master.
Ryan’s worship of the flawed philosophy of Ayn Rand, is in total contrast to his actual life. Rand, an atheist, Ryan a Catholic, she a free marketeer at all costs, he enjoying taxpayer funded leg-ups and income since he was 16 years-old.
Ryan is a fraud of the highest order, shaven or bearded, the Republican base will love him.

“Ryan is a fraud of the highest order, shaven or bearded, the Republican base will love him.” This said everything. I love your view of this political and craven turd.
Nice play on words. Spielberg would be proud.
Thank you, glad somebody noticed.
