Chris Matthews wonders who’s on top in Romney/Ryan arrangement

http://twitter.com/#!/SocialAssassin2/status/251105412026363904

Today on “Hardball,” serious journalist Chris Matthews likened Paul Ryan’s earliest appearances on the stump with Mitt Romney as “a one night stand” and said that their recent campaign appearances together mean they’re “dating again.” We wonder if Matthews will give the Romney/Ryan gay innuendo a rest if we point out that he’s actually ripping off Roseanne Barr’s old material. No? Well, let’s see if Matthews’ version is any funnier.

Did Chris Matthew just say he couldn't figure out whether Ryan or Romney is "on top" in their arranged marriage?

Chris Matthews just asked if Romney or Ryan was on top. I'm going with Romney. Ryan has that hungry bottom look!

‘Dishwasher Cooking’ Is Apparently A Thing That People Are Doing Now…

Dishwashers have been used for one general purpose for a long time now. But people who grew bored of the appliance only accomplishing one task have found a genius way of utilizing it for even more.

Enter: dishwasher cooking.

Yes, it sounds gross and soapy and not very healthy, but if you do it correctly, you can prepare some delicious meals in the dishwasher while your plates and utensils get clean, too!

What you need to do in order for this to work is place your food in an air-tight container. Turn the dishwasher on its highest setting and it’ll do the work for you!

The hot water rushing around the containers means that everything from vegetables to seafood and even poultry is cooked evenly!

Unbelievable!

Yes, you can even cook lobster in the dishwasher.

To see a complete instructional guide on how to cook in the dishwasher, watch this video.
