FAST FIVE:
* How Representative Paul Ryan took over the Republican party.
* In case you're wondering how the rest of Romney's overseas trip went, Gawker has you covered (with bonus Israel trashing.)
* Jonathan Bernstein on the Democrats' platform come convention time.
* Andrew Cohen covers Sheriff Arpaio's day in court.
* Huh. Apparently, some people on the right think the new Batman movie is a conservative manifesto.
