" WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Paul Ryan, the zombie-eyed granny starver from Wisconsin, and First Runner-up in our most recent Vice Presidential Pageant, has left a trail of cheap tricks behind him here. In his speech yesterday, Ryan told a charming story, which he said he&amp;#039;d heard from an aide to Scott Walker, the goggle-eyed homunculus hired by Koch Industries to manage their midwest subsidiary formerly known as the state of Wisconsin. It was about a little boy who turned down a free school lunch because he wanted one in a paper bag because that, according to Paul Ryan and his brimming big baby blues, would mean that someone cared for him. &amp;quot;She once met a young boy from a very poor family, and every day at school, he would get a free lunch from a government program,&amp;quot; Ryan said. &amp;quot;He told Eloise he didn&amp;#039;t want a free lunch. He wanted his own lunch, one in a brown-paper bag just like the other kids,&amp;quot; he continued. &amp;quot;He wanted one, he said, because he knew a kid with a brown-paper bag had someone who cared for him. This is what the left does not understand.&amp;quot; There was not a lick of truth in anything Ryan said. The author of &amp;quot;An Invisible Thread,&amp;quot; Laurie Schroff, spoke with the Huffington Post about Ryan&amp;#039;s CPAC remarks and the origins of Anderson&amp;#039;s anecdote. She asserted that her book was not &amp;quot;political&amp;quot; and disagreed with Ryan&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;full stomach and an empty soul&amp;quot; comment. &amp;quot;I want people to think about what they can do to make the world a kinder world,&amp;quot; Schroff said. &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t care about Republicans and Democrats. But we are talking about children that need to be fed. Cutting school lunch programs doesn&amp;#039;t accomplish that.&amp;quot; Biggest. Fake. Alive. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
