John Lennon's killer up for parole/John Lennon's tooth still hanging around

 Mark David Chapman, 57, will be granted a parole hearing this week.

Paul Ryan loves RATM, Tom Morello hates Paul Ryan

Mitt Romney's recent VP pick is a man named Paul Ryan.  I do not know much about this turkey, but if Romney endorses him, I do not want to know much about him.  Unfortunately though, I did not escape learning one fact about the man.  He claims that Rage Against The Machine is one of his favorite bands.  He isn't a fan of the lyrics of course, but the music he feels is totally awesome!

Okay I may have added the last one.
