" The Republicans in the House held a town hall on Facebook yesterday, and all was not peaceful in Farmville. No, Paul Ryan, the sole occupant of his own universe, had this to say about the upcoming deliberations of the SuperCommittee that&amp;#039;s supposed to produce a solution to the country economic problems: One of the reasons I didn&amp;#039;t want to go on the Select Committee is because the budget process is just broken. The fact that we have a Select Committee is testament to the fact that Congress does not budget our money at all. Twelve people in Congress are not going to cut a backroom deal that is going to fix all of the country&amp;#039;s fiscal problems, nor should they try. We ought to have to real government that works. Ryan&amp;#039;s beginning to sound a lot like Newt Gingrich used to sound \u2014 a bold man of big ideas, almost all of them wrong and many of them politically childish, who gets petulant when the world declines for 15 consecutive minutes to honor his obvious genius. Paul Ryan wants government to work; he just doesn&amp;#039;t want it to do much of anything. This is what happens when you spend too much time reading Ayn Rand. Sooner or later, you start to believe you can walk on water and some underpaid public servant has to pull your ass out of the lake. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
