I Worship the Ground That Paul Ryan Walks On
Former vice president Dick Cheney heaped praise on House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, author of the GOP’s budget blueprint to phase out Medicare and
replace it with a subsidies system for seniors to buy private insurance.
“We need to get serious about dealing with [our] debt problem,” the former vice president explained.
Most of the government’s $14.3 trillion debt is a result of Bush-era policies, such as tax cuts for the wealthy and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.

Is Michael working for the Cuban government?
Michael begins doing research for a school term paper about the Communist party. But instead of heading to the public library, Michael writes a few letters of inquiry to the Cuban government. The results are both swift and terrible: Michael and the rest of the Evans family are targeted as a likely "security risk" by the FBI.

For only $1.5 million,
(Charles) Koch bought a big chunk of the economics department of Florida State University. His donation gives him control of a new "academic" program at this public institution to indoctrinate students in his self-serving political theories. The billionaire gets to screen all applicants, veto any he deems insufficiently ideological, and sign off on all hires. Also, the department head must submit yearly reports to Koch about the faculty's speeches, publications, and classes, and he evaluates the faculty based on "objectives" that he sets.
