John Boehner's Capitol Pizza Party

John Boehner is (understandably) frustrated over the debt ceiling negotiations.

What could be a better way to unwind than to host a pizza party for House Republican freshmen?

The House Speaker treated the froshes to some slices in an effort to keep their debt brainstorming meeting somewhat casual -- though, apparently, it was still pretty stressful. We hear that the hallway outside their room reeked of cigarettes.

We have to wonder if the Speaker went with cheese or pepperoni -- or possibly something more exotic? Either way, this whole story is reminding us of our college days. And making us hungry.

Political Roundup: Expense Report Baller Edition

The presidential candidates have released their expense reports, and we've got the scoop on where they are spending their money.

Here's what our politicos are spending their Benjamins on: 

-- Newt Gingrich is getting the most press coverage about his spending habits. The former House Speaker has spent more than $500,000 on privately chartered flights from Moby Dick Airways -- a company that provides "republican presidential travel."

Newt claims that he didn't realize how much money was being spent on private travel until his fundraisers quit -- and has since switched to commercial transportation. (Ouch!)

-- Tim Pawlenty might be the best GOP boss. The former governor of Minnesota has spent more than $580,000 on salaries -- a significantly higher percentage than other candidates.

-- Mitt Romney is spending more money than other candidates on administrative expenses, meaning lots of political consultants and security guards. He's also spent almost $750,000 on vendors in New Hampshire (the state he's hoping to win).

-- Ron Paul
's campaign is going for broke on yummy food. They seem to love burgers, BBQ and farmers markets. Who knew he was a foodie?!

-- Michele Bachmann and President Obama are spending the majority of their money on fundraising. While Michele has spent nearly $700,000 on this end, the POTUS spent $5 million on fundraising (and hired some 150 campaign staffers).

Together, the candidates have spent $32 million already. Who knew they were all ballers?!
