ryan can keep his seat in the house. i don't want another tried-and-failed veep having too much time to say things outside of politics because they have no career. no repeats of four years ago! to think, he might even run on the success of his weightlifting magazine shoot and get a product endorsement or something. i shake just thinking about it.

that's four years for him to come up with a new, more embarrassing "ryan plan." perhaps in '16 it includes cutting funding to infrastructure because, gosh-darnit, who wants to travel and see diversity! we should all just stay in our hometown. those airports can go to the military, anyways.
