Hey Brojos,
I usually agree with you, but I think you're right, your party affiliation does affect how you look at this controversy, and apparently you guys are the only ones saying "he probably broke four with the chip time". I doubt they had chips back in 1990. With 2000 people in a race, how long is it going to take you to cross the starting line?

This article points how how Hewitt reacted to Ryan's time and what Ryan said about it:
H. H.: Holy smokes. All right, now you go down to Miami University…
P. R.: I was fast when I was younger, yeah.
People who lie all the time say things like this. People like Kip Litton and Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan.
