Breaking News to The Entire CM Population: Stay the Fuck Away From High Street.

OXFORD, Ohio 

U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan (R., Wis.) Wednesday makes his Ohio debut as the Republican vice presidential candidate in Oxford where he got his college bachelor’s degree in 1992.

Mr. Ryan, who double-majored in economics and political science, kicks off the first of two days of campaigning in Ohio in an open-air rally behind Miami University’s engineering building.

The university said that Mr. Ryan continues Miami’s legacy of national public service, which includes Benjamin Harrison, Miami class of 1852, who was a U.S. president from 1889-1893, and Whitelaw Reid, who was Harrison’s running mate in his re-election bid, graduated from Miami in 1856.

  1. That's why there were so many closed streets. Took me 10 minutes to get out of town.

    1. Only 10 minutes? The Secret Service had me blocked in my parking space for at least 45 minutes. I took pictures of all the agents with my iPhone. If they ever show up in one of my classes, I will fail them.

    2. Well, if you'd stop posting as Strel they'd probably find you less suspicious. I told the guys at the roadblock I knew where the good hookers were in town, they let me through.

  5. I knew there was something else I didn't like about that tea-partying mother tea-partier. I once had a passing acquaintance with Miami and Oxford. Wretched place.

    1. Greta! How can you!?!?!

      It's the [mythical] home to CollegeMisery.com.

      They even have a Chipotle.

    2. I'm with Hiram, obviously!! The four of us who toil in the small shed behind the south chiller plant on Harris Drive HAVE to live in Oxford!

    3. Greta's just keeping up the illusion that we're scattered all over the country. Actually, she's behind the sandbag barricade with F&T, me, and the other humanities types. And where are those burritos? We're getting hungry!

  6. Over here on the Humanities Quad, we've built a bunker surrounded by sandbags. Please send in burritos.
