Paul Ryan blames Obama for GM plant closing; the plant closed in 2008
This is brilliant.
Watch as Rep. Paul Ryan blame the Obama Administration for the closing of a General Motors plant in Wisconsin. A plant that closed in 2008 before President Obama was elected.
Ryan’s speech is juxtaposed with local news coverage from 2008 as the plant was being shut down.
Seriously. Who gave Paul Ryan these talking points?
Fail.

Madonna being sued by anti-gay Russians
A group of ten anti-gay activists are suing Madonna after the singer praised equality during her concert in St. Petersburg, where saying nice things about LGBT people is against the law.
According to the suit, the plaintiffs have suffered “moral damage” because Madonna spoke out in favor of LGBT equality:
“She (Madonna) had been warned with words that she should behave in line with the law and she ignored it. So we will speak in the language of money,” said Darya Dedova, one of the 10 activists who filed the lawsuit in a St Petersburg court. “Of course, it is difficult to measure moral damages and suffering but maybe people who earn money regardless of moral rules will better understand this,” Dedova said. She added if they won the case, the money would be sent to orphanages. “Maybe someone does not see the link but after Madonna’s concert maybe some boy becomes gay, some girl becomes lesbian, fewer children are born as a result and this big country cannot defend its borders – for me it causes moral suffering,” said Alexei Kolotkov, another of the activists who filed the suit.
Yes Alexei – once you hear the voice of Madonna, you become gay. That’s how it works. You’ve figured it out…
AARP on President Obama, Mitt Romney and Medicare
These facts come from AARP.
Seniors, what do YOU think!
The facts about how President Obama and Mitt Romney address Medicare differently
Yesterday, Mitt Romney took to a white board to try and “explain” the differences between how HE would address Medicare versus what the Affordable Healthcare Act does.
The main thing I want to point up is: Romney has said repeatedly that he will repeal the Affordable Healthcare Act COMPLETELY. What that means is senior citizens who are right now saving money since the prescription drug “donut hole” was closed by the AHA would see the return of that “donut hole.”
Also, Romney continues to say the President “cut billions from seniors” in Medicare. The truth is the AHA saves money from inefficiencies in monies to providers NOT seniors.
It just goes on and on. Watch the video for the facts.
The Paul Ryan shirtless picture
I’m not sure who really would want to see this, but I’m sure TMZ is getting tons of hits for finding and posting this pic. Go to their site for the story behind the pic. Apparently it was taken while on vacation in Oklahoma.
Paul Ryan requested stimulus funds, then didn’t, then did…
From Newser:Paul Ryan has repeatedly denied that he requested funds for Wisconsin businesses from Barack Obama’s signature stimulus bill, despite documented evidence to the contrary.
Yesterday he finally admitted he had—but said he hadn’t realized he was doing it.
The requests first became an issue in a 2010 Wall Street Journal report. In an interview at the time, Ryan said he wouldn’t vote against something “then write to the government to ask them to send us money.”
But the Boston Globe reported this week that Ryan did just that, sending at least four letters to the Department of Energy on behalf of two Wisconsin companies looking to develop “green jobs.”
Ryan again denied those reports yesterday, before finally backtracking with a statement saying the requests were “treated as constituent service requests,” according to the New York Times. “This is why I didn’t recall the letters earlier. But they should have been handled differently.”
So he didn’t request the funds he voted against, then it turns out he did – he just didn’t remember. And then it admits it was all true, he just didn’t handle it correctly.
Got that?
Real World’s Joey Kovar dead at 29
TMZ is reporting that Joey Kovar — the troubled “Real World” star who appeared on “Celebrity Rehab” — was found dead at a friend’s home near Chicago this morning … and family members believe drugs are to blame.
Kovar was 29 years old.
According to TMZ Joey was discovered by a female friend early this morning who noticed blood coming out of Joey’s ears and nose.
The woman called 911 … and authorities rushed to the scene where he was pronounced dead.
Sad to hear this. He was an attractive young man who had a lot of life ahead of him. Last year he posed for a successful photo shoot for Playgirl. Very sad.
