As Mike pointed out in the comments on my last post (via slate), and as the New Yorker and the New York Times* both also confirmed, Paul Ryan didn't run a sub-three hour marathon. He ran a 4 hour marathon.
Does it matter? Does this make him a fabulist, as Paul Krugman claims, or is it just some meaningless macho bravado from a guy who probably could have gone sub-3 in the peak of his fitness if he'd tried? I dunno. This isn't a political blog.
Oh, btw: I totally ran a sub-4 hour marathon. Yeah, it was like 3-something, mid-3s, you know, 3:20-something.
For your amusement, and totally unrelated: a photo of the grossest thing I've seen in years, far grosser than politics could ever ever be:

| White chocolate candy corn m&ms. This product is real. |
Okay, I don't know what is more disturbing... my reaction to the white chocolate candy corn OR the facial expression of the M&M on the package who totally appears to know that he got the "crap end" of the M&M candy line up.
ReplyDeleteAgreed. Agreed agreed agreed agreed. If the M&M looks that unhappy, why on earth would you expect that we would like it?
