Romney and Obama assume their positions.

Friday Night Lights writer-director Peter Berg is not impressed that Mitt Romney has co-opted the series' infamous "Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can't Lose" phrase on his Facebook page and in his campaign speeches:

Here's his biting letter to the Romney campaign:

Your politics and campaign are clearly not aligned with the themes we portrayed in our series. The only relevant comparison that I see between your campaign and Friday Night Lights is in the character of Buddy Garrity — who turned his back on American car manufacturers selling imported cars from Japan.

Fun twist: Buzz Bissinger, who wrote the book on which Berg's movie and TV series are based, is a Romney supporter.

... Martha Raddatz.

Also, props to Salon's Benjamin Wheelock for making Paul Ryan the star of Atlas Shrugged.

Further coverage to come Friday.

That was fast.

Ol' Bill's got a fresh take on the first debate: "Old Moderate Mitt, where ya been, boy? I missed you all these last few years."

"A little pitchy, but mmm. Good stuff!"

Simpsons and Family Guy veteran Lucas Gray has reimagined the tired campaign ad -- watch as an April Obama speech on trickle-down economics and the American dream comes alive with bobblehead politicos and pundits.
