Petition to Stop Paul Ryan From Running for President.

[Coito ergo sum]

This is, I think, the first time in my life when there has been even a hint that someone younger than me might run for President. This bothers me.

I assume others have reached this moment in their lives before me. Did it irk you in any way?

For me, it was when I realised that the rugby players on the Irish team are all younger than me, and then realising that they were, for the most part, more than a decade younger. That freaked me out a bit, because a part of me was still looking up to them as if they were older! I mostly wasn't, but part of me was. At that moment, my attitude changed to being one purely about admiration of athletic skill and prowess.

I used to think like that about athletes in general, particularly college athletes. It's like, going to a college football game on a Saturday, and the quarterback is 19 or 20 years old. LOL Born in 1991.

And, now guys retiring after 20 years in a sport are younger than me....

You cut me, Bella....you cut me deep....

ahem.

I know. It is deflating.



We should start a support group, and then sit in a circle, in a sweat lodge, playing drums, and whinging - before eating some over-cooked vegetables and worshipping Gillian McKeith.

Yes, but I was going for a delivery like the following....


e.e. cummings should have capitalized his name too...

[laklak]

Obama is younger than me. I should have run, I coulda been a contender.

Can people who have avatars that are a cock with teeth eating lettuce allowed to run?

Obama is younger than me. I'm sure it's not a coincidence that he managed to tank the economy so much worse than any previous president in my lifetime.

Ryan would be a far better president than Obama. Then again, you'd probably be a better president than Obama. That said, I do not think Ryan would be as good as Romney or Bachmann, who are older than me.

Since I consider the president to be one of the people who works for me, I don't expect him or her to be more competent than me.

Ah, all is acceptable if for comic impact. Pedantry withdrawn!

MrJonno - if your knob looks like laklak's avatar, I'd get yourself to a doctor, and then to the Guinness Book of Records - a new freakshow career awaits you!
