Headlining the 2013 Courage Conference—an event organized by Courage, a Roman Catholic organization promoting the "rejection" of homosexuality—is none other than Reverend Paul Scalia. As in, son of Antonin Scalia. As in, the apple that didn't fall far from the tree.

In other eye-rolling Republican news today, House Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte (who should maybe consider a career switch to barista) was asked about immigration policy from a teary 16-year-old.

And if that's not your fancy, Jersey governor Chris Christie has put together a summer playlist for you, too. Yup, you read that right.

Also, SUPER MARIO BROS FOOD VINE.

And you must have wondered what, in light of tomorrow, the science behind a perfect apple pie is. Well, wonder no more: here's a glorious, informational diagram that has already made us very hungry.
