Hey, we're already halfway through October, which means we're only just a few more days out from Election Day. Lady Gaga, tell us what you think of the presidential campaigns... (spoiler if you have a weak stomach: she's gonna throw up 3 times. If you can't watch that type of thing, skip over it. You won't miss any jokes.) That's right, first Justin Bieber, then Lady Gaga. Getting sick on stage must be a thing now. Let's hope Adele doesn't start. By the way, side note, her theme for the new James Bond movie, Skyfall, is pretty good. Side note #2: the best band you're not listening to right now is The Heavy. Search for What Makes A Good Man. It's groovy. Okay, so the 2nd of 3 presidential debates is coming up. And the candidates for veep hashed it out this week. Joe Biden ridiculed "his friend" Paul Ryan on stage, and Paul Ryan claimed he and Mitt Romney have a full economic plan. Great fun. But here's one political story you might have missed this week. Two guys are running for Congress in California, and they turned a political appearance into a UFC weigh-in... I don't know.. I think the old guy on the left had a chance before Erik Estrada ("I played Ponch on CHiPS!") stepped in to stop things. That's the type of fervor I want out of my political races! I want good TV! I don't want a bunch of whining about whether a candidate has released tax forms because people don't give a shit. How much a candidate did or didn't pay only matters if they skipped out on their taxes for several years. But THIS...THIS is what I come to see every 2 to 4 years! This is great! I think all political races should be settled in a pay-per-view cage match! Jon Stewart and the kids over at The Daily Show had a really good piece on other smaller political races, starting with the guy who seems to know all there is to know about vaginas. In fact, his campaign manager should consider putting "Vagina First" on campaign posters...
