Food Music Mixtapes For All Your Summer Rug-Cutting Needs

Paul Ryan Fails To Realize That Classic Rock Is Pretty Much The New Elevator Music

Much ink has been spilled on the fact that Republican vice-presidential nominee Paul Ryan is a relative whippersnapper—born in 1970, the Wisconsin representative is 42 years old.
