    The funny part is that Ryans seat is probably going to flip. He is not in a very republican district. Its like R+2.
    This election would make me happy if
    1. Marsha Blackburn loses
    2. Dave Brat (VA-7) loses
    They are the more obnoxious people in politics (and biggest liars). Nice that I can scratch Ryan off the list. I guess he ran out of snake oil.

      I’ve seen some PTA’s in action. He might not win a position there. He’d be better off with some non-profit, like suppressthevote.org or something.

        Medican’t for the People, Inc.?

        Maybe this:

        (Interesting Ayn Rand quote: “In any collaboration between two men (or two groups) who hold different basic principles, it is the more evil or irrational one who wins.” )

        He has lots of choices

      Local Options for Mr. Ryan

      – Marquette University. in need of a Milwaukee base chair for the Public Policy program and the Les Aspin Center for Government.
      – U of Wisconsin, The La Follette School of Public Affairs
      – The Badger Institute (Conservative Wisconsin think tank)
      – Beloit College, Political Science faculty
      – Work for one of the family or in-laws businesses
      – Write is own ticket to anything he wants.

      It’s asking for a log in. Can you cut and paste the story?

      • Will Durant

        This link will get non-subscribers a free shot at the article. Complete cut and pastes are a no-no.

        What has politics in Dade come down to if a sheriff can’t take a few lovely parting gifts on their way out. $2800 in Men’s Warehouse suits? LOL

        • xdog

          Thanks for the link, Will. That ex-sheriff is lucky to stay out of the slam. Some counties I know, cashing in on confiscated goats can get you hanged.

          • Will Durant

            Yeah, we all know how some Georgia sheriffs have grown attached to their asset forfeiture slush funds but literally getting a man’s goat for personal gain was just beyond the pale.

    Meanwhile in Ohio… more Speaker of the House news.
