Representatives Eric Cantor, Paul Ryan, and Kevin McCarthy are young conservatives. Or Transformers. Or some kind of pirates.
Whatever they are, they just released a trailer for their new feature film tv show video game book that promises to explain how they are going to get rid of secret foreign Muslim oil spilling Presidents (not naming names) by rolling up their sleeves, walking toward the camera in slow motion, and seducing the shit out of big government.

Senate Republicans enjoy a clear social media advantage and have outpaced their Democratic colleagues in terms of online growth on sites like Twitter and Facebook, according to a new study released Thursday.
Yes, you read that right. The Republican Party of George “I Don’t Email” W. Bush and the late Ted “the Internet is a series of tubes” Stevens is now quicker on its toes than the Democratic Party and the much-ballyhooed ‘online revolution’ that elected President Obama.
The study, conducted by George Washington and New York Universities, also found 73-year old Republican Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) had the highest “Digital IQ” in the Senate, which researchers described as the “definitive benchmark for online competence.”
Which leads us to question the validity of said study. This is after all the man who admitted on the campaign trail in 2008 that he was “an illiterate” who could not use a computer without assistance.
The Digital IQ index combined senators’ use of social media websites like YouTube, Twitter and Facebook with their followings and the frequency with which they posted. The study found GOP senators averaged 5.5 IQ points higher than their Democratic counterparts.
But back to McCain. We’re pretty sure his “Twitter genius” IQ can only be attributed to his Twitter love-fest with MTV “star” Snooki. And is that really fair to the other Senators? We think not.
Or perhaps the study’s authors, in their research, confused politician “John McCain” with the Senator’s daughter, and professional blogger, “Meghan McCain?” Now that makes more sense.
Regardless, our hats are off to the old guy and the GOP for pulling this one off. What a difference two years (and some good press secretaries who waste A LOT of time on social-networking sites) make!

Thanks a lot Washington Post. You wait until last Friday to tell us about an email you got on Wednesday that there are “ONLY 3 Tickets Left!” for the “Senator Frank R. Lautenberg & Lady Gaga – the Monster Ball Tour,” fundraising extravaganza of the century?
Sorry Al Kamen, but Woodward & Bernstein would have had that news up by Wednesday night at the latest, we’re just saying.
Anyways, now we’ve surely missed our chance to spend the $2,500 we had burning a hole in our pocket to see the Senate’s resident bad boy, rocker, pop culture phenomenon oldest guy EVER rock out to Gaga next month at the Verizon Center.
Confirming that he should not trust anyone around him, aides for the 86-year-old New Jersey Democrat put the blame right on their boss for concocting this worst idea ever, media and RNC money train.
One minor detail with this fundraiser, the Senator is not up for re-election this cycle. But who cares?
The point of the event is obviously so that Lautenberg, or “Little Monster,” will get to see Lady Gaga twice in one year, the first coming last January when he celebrated the big 8-6 by treating his wife to the “Monster Ball” tour stop in New York City.
And we’re pretty sure he’ll need the extra cash when Republicans use this NONSTOP against him in the next election cycle.
But politics be damned. This is no bad romance. He just wants her loving, he wants her revenge.

Republicans have high hopes for the 2010 elections. President Obama’s approval ratings are sinking, the economy has yet to recover from the recession, things that are not water are spilling into large bodies of water, and people have, for the most part, forgotten that George W. Bush ever existed.
Unfortunately, demonstrating the impeccable timing for which he was once known and loved, George W. Bush has decided to release a book this fall with the primary goal of reminding the world of his Freedom-loving, brush clearing existence.
Shockingly, many Republican candidates seem to think this is a bad idea.

House Minority leader John Boehner wants to get one thing straight. The Republicans are certainly not the “party of no” as Democrats have recently claimed. He would REALLY LIKE to vote “yes” on bills, it’s just that he can’t bear to stand by as Democrats MOCKING AMERICA’S UNEMPLOYED.
That’s why Boehner held a meeting with reporters yesterday to make it clear that, if he was in charge, THERE WOULD BE JOBS. EVERYWHERE.
And how would Boehner create these jobs? By voting “no” EVEN HARDER. Boehner would do nothing SO HARD that jobs would POUR OUT OF AMERICANS’ EVERY ORIFICE.
