		<description>Facts do matter.  That&#039;s what being authentic means.  If something is a demonstrably provable fact it needs to be acknowledged and accepted.  Not everything is opinion.</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Part of the problem is that Simon apparently has a very weird idea of what &quot;satire&quot; is.&lt;/p&gt;

I call it &quot;pulling a fake news story out of his ass.&quot;

You know, everything else aside, at least you act like facts matter.

Way too rare.  Thanks.</description>

		<description>I stand corrected.  Twice now.  

But there&#039;s a reason pundits and people like myself jumped on this.  Even you will admit after the election that the underlying premise of this satire (the stench of Romney&#039;s awful campaign will hurt Ryan&#039;s career) is true.</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Yep.  Right out the windows.&lt;/p&gt;

Liberals often do that when somebody brings actual numbers in.  Even happens here.</description>

Have you noticed how many of these &quot;issues&quot; are turning out to be made up lately?  The Democrats can&#039;t have run out of &quot;October Surprises&quot; yet, although I&#039;ve noticed they&#039;ve been using them up at an alarming rate.</description>

It makes sense for Ryan.  If he wants any chance of being taken seriously ever again he can no longer stay &quot;on message.&quot;  The message is too full of bullshit and getting booed at AARP was the last straw for him.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t think I&#039;ve ever seen a national political campaign where one side was less afraid of the other.  In fact, Democrats should donate money to Romney to let him do more of whatever he&#039;s doing.

Of course, I&quot;ve never seen a candidate more symptomatic of what&#039;s wrong with this country than Romney, unless it was Bush, or Bush or Reagan.</description>

		<description>Why do RYAN advisers have to &quot;insist&quot;?  What do Romney advisers say?   

&lt;blockquote&gt;Ryan advisers insist that Romney’s Boston headquarters has worked closely with Ryan to prepare, and that Romney’s digital and press teams have assisted with the slides. “There is harmony,” says a Ryan adviser. “It’s all about getting the message out in an effective way.”&lt;/blockquote&gt;


It&#039;s all about Ryan being pissed he got booed staying on Romney&#039;s message at AARP.  

If the &quot;stench&quot; comments are true it&#039;s curtains for Romney.

The slides that apparently make Simon hysterical can be found &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mittromney.com/sites/default/files/shared/pdr__townhall_9222012.pdf&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.  Small wonder Democrats dive out windows when they see them.</description>
