By now, you’ve seen the Ryan Gosling “Hey Girl…” meme floating around the internet – including Feminist Ryan Gosling and Equal Pay Ryan Gosling. Since Ryan hasn’t returned our calls, we decided to have a little fun with the meme in our own way.

Would it be better for the nation’s collective mental health to just not think about Rick Santorum? Um, yes. But this is a guy who is a serious competitor for the Republican Presidential nomination. He’s carried four states through the primary season so far and he’s polling right with Mitt Romney nationwide. Serious competitor; seriously scary.

On Sunday, Pete Hoekstra aired an ad during the Super Bowl against his opponent, EMILY’s List candidate Sen. Debbie Stabenow. With the wordsmith skills of a clever 10 year-old, Hoekstra used a play on words, changing Stabenow’s name to Spend-it-now.

You would think that an organization dedicated to finding a cure for breast cancer would do everything in its power to make sure that women have access to cancer screenings and mammograms. But apparently that isn’t the case.

We've watched proudly as Rep. Betty Sutton has fought to protect the jobs of women and families across Ohio. Just yesterday, she talked with MSNBC's Dylan Ratigan about 'The American Jobs First Initiative,' comprised of three pieces of legislation she's advocated strongly for in the House.

Time to board the Allen West crazy train. While speaking at a Lincoln Day Dinner in West Palm Beach for the Palm Beach County GOP, Rep. West fired off this choice line: “We need to let President Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, and my dear friend the chairman of the Democrat National Committee, we need to let them know that Florida ain't on the table..."

Marc Cenedella is the CEO of a high-salary job search firm. And he says that he’s a "9.2" out of 10 he'll run against Senator Kirsten Gillibrand. Not okay, Marc. Read on for the details. And I'm absolutely serious that what follows is disgusting and degrading, so please be careful.

I confess that I greeted the coverage of the revelations coming out of Marianne Gingrich's ABC News interview with perhaps more glee than I should have. The sheer juiciness of watching the man pander to conservatives in South Carolina while tales of his flagrant, unapologetic marital chutzpah dominated the news made me smile. But I should have known better:

Here we are again, on the heels of another GOP presidential "debate," which to this point has meant pretty much only the tossing around of cringe-worthy policy ideas. And so here again, we present the fourth round of the GOP Achievement in Awful Awards.

We’re only a few short weeks away from the first congressional election of 2012 -- and we’re loving how things are looking for Suzanne Bonamici’s campaign for the House in Oregon. And just this weekend, she picked up a major endorsement from The Oregonian, the largest newspaper in the state!

Rick Santorum. He's running for President, and he's getting a lot of attention since his narrow second-place finish in Iowa. He's also one more thing: terrifying in his views on women and families.

Betty Sutton: Recommended and ready to prove the GOP wrong

Betty Sutton: Recommended and ready to prove the GOP wrong

Last week Betty Sutton announced she is running in the new 16th district of Ohio. Betty’s been in this race for just 8 days and already she’s under attack. Betty has faced down GOP pressures before; it’s hard to forget a certain GOP mailer that claimed it was time to "take Betty Sutton out of the House and put her back in the kitchen." With the help of EMILY's List, she certainly proved them wrong then, and she will do it again now.

Do you remember Cong. Joe Walsh of Illinois? Of course you do. Since taking office in January, he’s famously refused to go to the State of the Union Address, served as a bullhorn for the far-far-right on topics like reproductive choice and Medicare, is a member of the Tea Party caucus and has been cited by the Chicago Sun-Times as a prime example of “what’s wrong with Washington.” Oh, and he’s being sued for $100,000 in child support by his ex-wife.
