29. We should thank him. Every day. Publicly. Loudly.

That is, thank him for accepting Romney invitation to be on the Republican ticket as VP.

Paul Ryan has had an enormously powerful House budget chief position, architect of the craziest of ideas. He uses religion to justify slashing funds for the poor and sick and for children, while supporting increases for the military and oil companies.

Paul Ryan sent out press releases about the GM plant closing, making his neighbors and buddies think he cared about them. Yet, we know he could care less.

Paul Ryan lies. He always lied. Yet, before now it was not widely known. He is Crazy with a capital C. And now we all know it.

He will never go back to the same quiet space and be the earnest, ripped, straight talking guy who is respected for having substantive and civil discussions and disagreements.

In a matter of days, he lost his carefully crafted image that took him years to fabricate. We see him for who he is.

I am delighted. I thank him every day. You should too.
