Hey, Girl, It’s Paul Ryan — in Ohio!

Posted on | August 15, 2012 | 16 Comments

REYNOLDSBURG, Ohio
My previous plan to visit my sister-in-law today got scrambled by the news that the Future Vice President of the United States is returning this afternoon to his alma mater, Miami University of Ohio at Oxford, Ohio:

450 E. High Street, Oxford, OH 45056
Doors Open at 3:30 PM
Event Begins at 5:30 PM
To RSVP and get your ticket, click here http://mi.tt/MVqIH1
Parking will be available at John D. Millet Hall, located at 500 E. Sycamore in Oxford, Ohio 45056

Obviously, I’ve got to be there. It’s 130 miles away, so I’ll have to hit the road immediately, but first let’s talk about the guy I’ve said should have the Secret Service code-name “Dreamy”:

Before he was Mitt Romney’s running mate, Paul D. Ryan was a prominent congressman, an intellectual leader of the GOP and, of all things, a stand-in for actor Ryan Gosling in an Internet meme.
“Hey Girl, It’s Paul Ryan” takes the Wisconsin representative and, with a bit of wordplay, turns him into an Internet sex symbol. Take, for example, this photo of Ryan, with the caption, “Hey girl, you know I can’t inflate our love . . . and that would just devalue it anyways.”
The site started when Emily Zanotti, an account services director for a Chicago-based communications agency, and two friends, Lyndsey Fifield and Lindsey Dodge, drew a connection between Ryan’s stories of bare-handed “catfish noodling” (popularized by the New York Times) and the pre-existing “Hey Girl” meme featuring Gosling. After making a few images, they decided to start the site in May, never expecting it to be met with such popularity. . . .

Read the whole thing. And hit the freaking tip jar. I may not be an “Internet sex symbol,” but . . .

    One of the important things we’re doing is laughing in the face of all the Lefty gloom.

    We need it. Things have been quite angry and depressing since Jan. 2008.

    Someone noted the other day that the moronic Joan Walsh had a post against Ryan complaining that if he grew up poor he should have stayed in-state & gone to the UW system like she did instead of going to Miami-O.  Of course, if Joanie is a typical example of the caliber of grad the UW system produces, that’s reason enough to cross state lines to get away from it.

    The Democrats might start asking themselves:  Hey, ho, where’d you go Ohio?

    Joan Walsh lives in San Francisco and is a SF Giants fan.  So for her to lecture Ryan on staying in Wisconsin is about as hypocritical and crazy as it gets.  

    Moaney Joaney also defending Biden’s chain remarks today.  I am pretty sure Team Obama might be considering putting Biden in chains and gagging his mouth till November.

    Things have never really sucked like my two year frigate tour.

    Yeah well I may not have been barfing daily but definitely nauseated.

    Uh… Stacy?  You’re all pro-traditional-marriage, and you’re a married family-values kinda guy.

    Can you leave the drooling over Paul Ryan to the women?  Trust me, we’re up to the task.

    They must be, ’cause Stacy’s been acting real gay since Saturday.
