I saw that the news was announcing that Mitt Romney today formally declared that his running mate was one Paul Ryan. And, I swear to you, my first thought was, "He declared this before 7:44 a.m.?? Jeez, that's an early... oh, hang on. Right."
West Coast Time.
Also, Ryan is the "I need the crazy vote" choice. His voting record scores near Michelle Bachmann, the nutjob from Minnesota. I was hoping he would go for someone like Condoleezza Rice; that would have made for an interesting, reasoned national conversation.

On the upside, I'm probably going to see "The Bourne Legacy" tomorrow, and heavens knows that my day gets better the more time I spend with Rachel Weisz... :)
