I usually don't gloat over another's misfortunes, but it will bring a smile to my face to see Paul Ryan in the unemployment line!!!!

there was a joke when i was small....

two cars were racing the American car won, the Russian car lost...

Russian news reports "Russian car finished second, American car "second from last"....

I could say the same about Romney's debate performance. Something don't smell right to me. If I was a reporter, my nose would be twitching.
