Paul Ryan now has a Secret Service code name: "Bowhunter."

Of course, given that Mitt Romney's codename is "Javelin," the two might just be trying to send a message, namely, If the US ever needs to defend itself with primitive weaponry, we've got this. Ryan's wife, Janna, incidentally, has the much less violent codename "Buttercup." (More Paul Ryan stories.)
