Remember how just yesterday we reminded you about a September 2011 event where Paul Ryan watched and then taunted several of his constituents while they were arrested during a fee-only luncheon he attended? Well, it seems the congressman still enjoys a good bit of censorship without the fried corndogs (because yeah, P90X!), since a few days ago the exact same thing happened amid Ryan’s taunts and express glee.

Before I get to the AFC East, I’d like to discuss the biggest story in the NFL right now: the referee lockout. I watched a few (meaningless) preseason games and the replacement refs looked like they came straight out of Clown College. I actually don’t blame the replacement refs, I blame the NFL with its incredibly arcane and complex rule book and the fact that these replacements had only a few weeks to learn it. The official rulebook is 244 pages long and reads like a bad Congressional bill. If this labor dispute continues into the regular season, you are going to see important games changed by bad calls and coaches out of challenges by the end of the first quarter. Continue reading
CBS News: Robert Pattinson kicked off his Tuesday ringing the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange…accompanied by David Cronenberg, the director of his new film Cosmopolis. (Emphasis added.)
All eyes are upon him — blinking, widening, twitching. He approaches the raised podium and awaits the designated moment. There is a hush. Continue reading

Now that Paul Ryan has joined the Republican ticket, both he and Romney have indicated that this is to be the start of substantive campaigning. A turning point, if you will, which will see a move away from negativity to the bigger issues at hand, like jobs and the economy. We wonder if Paul remembers a time when his constituents wanted some answers to those pressing questions and decided to buy a ticket to a luncheon to finally get their much requested face time with the congressman — and how what enfolded should forever be the Asterisk next to his name.

Obama is God (or at least controls the weather), the GOP (flop) sweats Paul Ryan, Texas A&M shooter had mental problems, the Five Fatal Flaws of Paul Ryan, Rick Perry: Closet Liberal, Ryan heckled; world laughs, the making of the Mandarin Mermaid, and Progressive: Evil or Just Amoral?

You know how it’s always fun to make light of your own shortcomings until someone else points out that you really are an obnoxious, party-ruining alcoholic? Oh, you don’t know what that’s like? Well the German magazine Der Spiegel will show you what it’s like. And those Prussian bastards are pointing and laughing at your Hardees jowls and highly-exposed butt crack.
This article, which was translated from the original German (like all good literature), was published last weekend on Der Spiegel’s International Edition website. Ostensibly the piece was about Mayor Mike Bloomberg’s War on Big Ass Sodas, but it ended up just being a hilarious mash-up of cliches about how fat we are as a nation. Continue reading
Well, that didn’t take long. It’s been 4 whole days since Mitt Romney announced Paul Ryan will be his running mate and already the Internet is starting to fill with memes. Some brilliant mind in the Twitterverse came up with what would happen if Paul Ryan and the Ryan Gosling “Hey Girl” meme collided.
The result is hysterical in the “Oh, my god, I am only laughing because it beats crying” kind of way. And because you know these would be Paul Ryan’s go-tos when attempting to pick up chicks at Wisconsin’s Club Applebee’s.
Hit the jump to see a few of the gems. Continue reading
