Paul Karason puts a whole new spin on "feeling blue.” For more than a decade, the 57-year-old has been living with a blue face.

Coming Up on Hannity and Colmes! This is weird!

[Parley Baer]

Now we know where Poppa Smurf has been.

[cripplecreek]

Yeah my mother blows her money on that crap. Granted, silver has some anti bacterial properties but it’s not worth becoming a smurf.

He’s still drinking it! Not the brightest bulb in the box, is he?

[Bronzewound]

Maybe there’s some kind of group he can join?

[dan1123]

Quick! Create an anti-discrimination-against-blue-skinned-people fund and apply for CEO positions you’re not qualified for! It’s an instant get-rich-quick scheme in modern America.

I guess he can always run as a libertarian in Montana.

Maybe he has a future in Vegas?

He can join this group.

[csmusaret]

But how is his dermatitis?

[vetvetdoug]

using a treatment called colloidal silver

“He’s still drinking it! Not the brightest bulb in the box, is he?”

Yeah but he’s bacteria free!!!!

Here's Stan Jones from Montana:

Karason, who recently moved from Oregon to Madera, Calif.,

. . . made the move in hopes of fitting in a little better.

Like Oregon isn't a Blue State, too.

[Anti-Bubba182]

He should move to LA, no one would notice.
