For the last few days, the Republican Party has been reeling over the shockingly retrograde attitudes towards rape and abortion expressed by one of its senate candidate — attitudes that reveal an ignorance about, and disregard for, women and women's health. But into the breach rides The National Review's Kevin D. Williamson, ready to show American women (and the non-women who love them) that the Republican party is inclusive, open, and highly respectful to women:

In the wee hours of early Wednesday morning, a veritable photoshopping frenzy was touched off after a Redditor noted that the photo found on VP nominee Paul Ryan's Wikipedia page was "absurdly high resolution" and therefore ripe for "some fun."

Barack Obama has a four-point lead over Mitt Romney, but that's not nearly as dramatic as Obama's lead among African American voters — 94 percent to 0 percent.

Remember when Paul Ryan said he'd never asked for stimulus money even though he had? The Republican vice presidential candidate is now facing more claims of stimulus-related hypocrisy, with newly released footage showing he advocated a stimulus when George W. Bush proposed it in the early 2000s.

Everything changed in the campaign. Paul Ryan changed everything. A sea change and a land change. Our bodies are heavy and made of metal. (The factory up the road donates it to the groundwater.) Parents no longer recognize their own children. Maybe it is no longer possible to blog.

Who is the biggest bro in the presidential race? It's probably the most important question that we'll answer in this election cycle. Barack Obama drinks a lot of beer ("Consumer research," The Washington Post writes, "shows that beer is most popular with the very voters that Obama and Romney are fighting over: middle-America independents.") — but Mitt Romney has an M.B.A. Paul Ryan ("the frattiest veep candidate in American history") loves Rage Against the Machine — but Joe Biden went to the University of Delaware. So who can call himself the Bro Candidate?

World's fittest man Paul Ryan is in a bit of ideological trouble today after it was revealed that the congressman lied about requesting a stimulus package. Just yesterday Ryan told ABC's Cincinatti affiliate:

Earlier today, Mitt Romney made a big deal out of telling everyone that he's, "never paid less than 13 percent" in taxes. And, of course, he still won't provide his tax returns, so we'll just have to trust him, okay?

Talking wooden doll Mitt Romney refuses to release any of his tax returns older than two years — but like the good sport he is, he provides us all with little clues about how much he's been paying. Like today: "I never paid less than 13 percent," he told reporters in South Carolina. "I think the most recent year is 13.6 percent." Thirteen percent, eh? "[A]nd if you add in addition the amount that goes to charity, why the number gets well above 20 percent." Sure, and if you add in addition any kind of numbers that aren't actually taxes the number gets even higher. [via Buzzfeed]

You'd think the Romney campaign would've learned their lesson the last time they had a copyright issue. Or from any of the other prominent copyright snafus involving major political campaigns. But no, they didn't, and now they're beefing with 'alternative' rock group Silversun Pickups.

In an interview this morning with Mitt Romney's surrogate John Sununu that was really just a shouting match, CNN's Soledad O'Brien attempted to explain to the former New Hampshire governor that the lies about Obama "stealing $700 billion" from Medicare are still, in fact, lies. But amidst her several attempts to get the facts straight and move on, At the 4:35 mark Sununu tells her she might as well just "put an Obama bumper sticker on her forehead." Which doesn't go over well.

And the Romney campaign's contentious relationship with the media continues.

This past weekend, Mitt Romney named Republican congressman Paul Ryan as his running mate, leading everyone to wonder: how will this asshole screw me, personally, if he is elected vice-president in November? Luckily for you, we have answers.

Sure, we could talk about how Paul Ryan is the most ideologically conservative Republican to be picked for the vice-presidential slot since at least 1900. But why not spend some time discussing his rocking bod?

Everything went according to plan, except when it didn't.
