Given the proliferation of social media over the last four years, 2012 should be the social media election.

People worked themselves up into such a fizz over news that the President brews his own beer that the White House decided to share its recipe. You may not be able to debate like Obama, but now you can drink like him!

Although he says “Everyone’s got their opinion, man,” Jeff Bridges is pretty quick to back that up with “Obama’s the man” in this interview with CNN. Bridges will be performing at the Democratic National Convention to try to gain support for his efforts to end childhood hunger in America. But what kind of news anchor would somebody be if they didn’t ask him to impersonate his character from ‘The

Mitt Romney’s loving wife Ann Romney definitely has experience in the field of motherhood. At the GOP Convention, she even said that “It’s the moms of this nation – single, married, widowed – who really hold this country together.” Maybe it’s this insider’s knowledge into the modern family that makes her appreciate the TV show ‘Modern Family’ so much.

In the midst of a back and forth political season, you can't help but try and make light of things.  With the economy in the toilet and 2 people who swear they can fix it, it was only a matter of time before someone did something like this...

Thanks to a new, free phone game called Vote!!!, you can see it every day. It might seem like they’ve lost sight of the point of democratic elections by making the two presidential candidates go toe-to-toe, but the folks at Epic Games could actually be o

President Barack Obama has always been “down” with the young voters. He knows how to dance, he sings, he knows what these kids are saying these days, and he knows how to text. Turns out the latter will be his most important talent in the upcoming election. In what surely qualifies as one of the first large-scale examples of political fundraising through texting, Obama’s reelection campaign will be

Quick — name a sitting Supreme Court justice. If you can do that, congratulations. You’re in the vast minority of Americans.

First Tom Morello, now Dee Snider. Vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan may love rock music, but he’s not exactly having much success buddying up to any musicians at the moment. Twisted Sister‘s Dee Snider is the latest to lash out at Ryan, calling him out over using his band’s music at a recent rally.

The detained Russian punk-rock female group Pussy Riot now has a new supporter in their corner, and it’s a pretty powerful ally:  Beatles legend Sir Paul McCartney.
