Is Paul Ryan Made Of Diamonds?

You’ll have to stay with us on this one, because it’s really super-​​complicated sci­ence stuff.

Paul Ryan

First of all, we give you the evi­dence. Paul Ryan looks remark­ably like all those “Twi­light” vam­pire heroes like Robert Pat­tin­son that the girls are so crazy about. Same cold blue eyes, deathly-​​pallid skin, crisp tou­sled hair and gen­eral air of “Your suf­fer­ing is not my con­cern,” that women seem to find such a turn-​​on.

So that’s where we start. Paul Ryan is obvi­ously an irre­sistible modern-​​day vam­pire, and could make a mint in Hol­ly­wood if the Belt­way ever tires of him (hard as that may be to imag­ine). Next, we exam­ine the sci­en­tific rela­tion­ship between vam­pires and dia­monds, as explained in this arti­cle. It turns out that lasers des­orb dia­monds. Do vam­pires fear the light because they are made of diamonds?

From the arti­cle: Is this why vam­pires shun sun­light? Are they made up of a net­ting of dia­monds that des­orbs in the sun? Let’s look at the facts. Dia­monds and vam­pires; they’re both immor­tal, they’re both extra tough and strong, they’ve both been known to sparkle in the light, and they’re both cold.

Paul Ryan: diamond-​​coated vam­pire? We report, you decide.

Talk show day is upon us again. This week is nearly all Michele Bach­mann, who just won the Iowa Straw Poll. She gam­bled when she set this all up that she would win, and it has paid off. Accord­ing to Politico, here’s the lineup for this week:

Meet the Press (NBC) — Pres­i­den­tial hope­ful and Rep­re­sen­ta­tive Michele Bach­mann (R-​​MN) (ever notice that’s Richard Nixon’s ini­tials?) is here to talk about how she did in Ames. She’s fol­lowed by Repub­li­can Iowa Gov­er­nor Terry Branstad, who is joined by Jonathan Mar­tin of Politico, Chuck Todd from NBC, Eugene Robin­son of the Wash­ing­ton Post, and Repub­li­can strate­gist Mike Mur­phy, in a polit­i­cal round­table cov­er­ing the Ames Straw Poll.

This Week (ABC) — Bach­mann faces off against Tim Paw­lenty. Again.

Face the Nation (CBS) — Bach­mann, fol­lowed by Rep­re­sen­ta­tive Deb­bie Wasser­man Schultz (D-​​FL).

State of the Union (CNN) — Bach­mann and rival Her­man Cain will talk about their cam­paigns. They’ll be joined by Rep­re­sen­ta­tive Steve King (R-​​IA), whose ter­ri­tory doesn’t include Ames.

Fox News Sun­day — Bachmann’s here, too, of course.

News­mak­ers (CSPAN) — Prov­ing how inde­pen­dent CSPAN really is, they are the only ones with­out a Bach­mann appear­ance. Then again, she might be hor­ri­fied to vol­un­tar­ily be on a pub­lic tele­vi­sion sta­tion. So, instead, they have Sen­a­tor Bernie Sanders  (I-​​VT).

Polit­i­cal Cap­i­tal (Bloomberg TV) — Yep…more Bachmann.
