Paul Ryan Goes Rogue
UPDATE: Simon's post is evidently supposed to be satire. From what I can tell, the Robinson quote is real, but the rest is Simon trying to be The Onion. Uh-huh. Sorry, Roger. You're not The Onion. In...

Sugar - "Tilted"
Note to Buzzfeed’s Andrew Kaczynski…

Romney Doesn’t Know Why Airplane Windows Don’t Open

President Challenges Romney to be Clear on War Posture
On 60 Minutes last night: "Let's see what I've done since I came into office: I said I'd end the war in Iraq. I did. I said that we'd go after Al Qaeda. They've been decimated in the FATA," he said...

On This Day in History, Something Truly Great Happened

Half of all the states begin early voting today. Not very good news for a particular Republican candidate who's kinda taking a big dump right now. Election Day may be Nov. 6th, but with President...
Romney Paid 14.1 Percent. What Did You Pay?
Romney is crazy rich. Doesn't-have-to-worry-about-money-ever-again rich. As we all know by now, he paid an effective tax rate of 14.1% for his 2011 income. He even over-paid so his taxes so his...
