When you study the faces, you recognize that without the hair, Ryan is not attractive at all....

From the SNL parody of the debate:

Martha Raddatz: Mr. Ryan, the children of America would like you to stop looking directly into the camera. They find it disturbing. (paraphrasing).

I find it disturbing as well

In Ryan's world, that Bean has rights and my girlfriends dont and they should have to wait till those beans rupture in their tubes instead of protecting their health....I didn't hear an exception from Ryan for Bean removal in the case of ectopic pregnancies....

I picture Freepers nationwide going out to their SUVs and weeping so their wives don't see what candyasses they are.

And,....yeah,....the thought brings on a chuckle....
