John Cook · 10/12/12 01:00PM
Yele Haiti, the self-serving charity that Wyclef Jean founded (with other peoples' money) to burnish his reputation, lay the ground for a self-aggrandizing run at the presidency of Haiti, keep his mistress employed, and pay himself generous performance fees, has finally collapsed under the weight of its own inefficiency and corruption. According to the New York Times, it has effectively ceased operations.

Hamilton Nolan · 10/12/12 11:53AMPaul Ryan Doesn't Have Time to Explain a 20 Percent Tax Cut, But if He Did It Would Take 18 Seconds
Robert Kessler · 10/12/12 11:15AMAt last night's debate, Martha Raddatz asked Paul Ryan to specifically lay out how he and Mitt Romney intend to lower all Americans' tax rates by 20 percent. This tax cut has been a major part of the Romney/Ryan campaign, but both have been incredibly vague about how they can cut the nation's tax revenue without increasing its deficit. Paul Ryan famously told Fox News' Chris Wallace he "[didn't] have the [time]" because it "would take [him] too long to go through all of the math."

Hamilton Nolan · 10/12/12 10:15AMCalifornia Representative Brad Sherman (D-Sherman Oaks) was at this candidate forum at Pierce College last night and he got all up in Rep. Howard L. Berman's (D-Valley Village) grill like Tyson at a pre-fight press conference and put an arm around him in that fake "I'm a bully acting like I'm your friend" move and he was all, "Do you wanna get into this? You wanna get into this?" And Rep. Berman was all, "This guy."
Frosted Metal Wheats: Kellogg's Recalls Your Favorite Cereals On the off Chance They're Full of Mesh Fragments
Caity Weaver · 10/12/12 10:00AM
Have you noticed that all your Frosted Mini Wheats have been tasting really rusty lately and that any time you eat a bowl your tongue gets sliced to ribbons and your mouth fills up with blood? Nothing new there but, in an odd coincidence, the Kellogg Company has issued a voluntary recall of 2.8 million boxes of frosted and unfrosted Mini-Wheats, due to "the possible presence of fragments of flexible metal mesh from a faulty manufacturing plant" in the cereal.

Neetzan Zimmerman · 10/12/12 07:31AMIf There's One Thing to Remember About the VP Debate, It's That Joe Biden Laughed His Way Through It
Kate Bennert · 10/12/12 02:50AMAccording to Twitter, the vice presidential debate was entirely more lively than the first presidential debate. According to Joe Biden, the vice presidential debate was very funny—nay, hilarious. The current VP chuckled almost every time Paul Ryan opened his mouth. But who can blame him when Ryan changed his mind at least three times over the course of the debate, still could not produce numbers to back up his tax plan, and basically said that his reason for wanting to outlaw abortion is that his daughter once looked like a bean? Seriously.

The new flavors? "Pumpkin Pie Spice," "Cinnamon and Sugar," and "White Chocolate Peppermint." Why? God only knows.
