The GOP is pretty racist. I could list examples, but we'd be here for the rest of eternity. This week's particular "widely believed racist conspiracy that some old, white Republican was dumb enough to say in public" comes from Mitt Romney co-chair and ex-George H.W. Bush chief of staff John Sununu, who said that Colin Powell endorsed Barack Obama because Powell disagrees with Romney's foreign policy. Wait, no, it's because they're both black.

On Wednesday, cool guy Eric Hartsburg auctioned off a 5-by-2 inch spot on the right side of his face for a Mitt Romney tattoo. The winning bid? $15,000, from an anonymous Republican eBay user. This means real estate on Hartsburg's face is worth $1,500 per square inch, which is pretty good considering the trio of lip piercings nearby.

"Didn't know they were learning about politics in preschool," mom Sara writes in the video description.

When Meat Loaf announced last night that he was giving Mitt Romney his first-ever political endorsement because Barack Obama said the Cold War was over and Romney was therefore the only candidate left who was willing to stand up to the Red Menace, the jokes pretty much wrote themselves.

Conservatives are absolutely livid over a new Obama campaign ad starring Lena Dunham, in which the 26-year-old Girls showrunner speaks suggestively about her "first time" voting for Obama.

Did you hear? Colin Powell is racist. Maybe you heard that back in 2008, when it was a trope on right-wing blogs. But this week, Powell endorsed Barack Obama for president, even though logically there could be no reason to. So, if unreason it was, then it must've been race madness.

Drama in the Piers Morgan playpen! In an interview this evening, John Sununu, former New Hampshire Republican governor and Romney campaign co-chair, told Morgan the real reason why General Colin Powell endorsed Obama this morning: their skin colors match. Duh.

The Obama campaign just released its latest video ad, featuring none other than Girls creator Lena Dunham. In the clip, she offers advice on "your first time," describing one's first foray into the voting booth the same way a young lady might describe losing her virginity. In other words, a cute sex joke! And guess what? Right-wing bloggers flipped out.

President Barack Obama made presidential history today when he became the very first...president to vote early.

Continuing her "we're real human people with real human blood" talk-show tour, Ann Romney stopped by Rachael Ray's show today.

The terminally ill 93-year-old World War II veteran who moved many with his determination to vote in the 2012 presidential election passed away yesterday exactly a week to the day that he filled out his absentee ballot.

Politico's Mike Allen got his hands a copy of Rolling Stone's upcoming cover story, Douglas Brinkley's "Obama and the Road Ahead," and pulled out this gem of a quote:

President Obama stopped by The Tonight Show earlier tonight to discuss, amongst other things, Richard Mourdock's recent idiotic comments about rape.

At long last, Donald Trump released his highly anticipated "October surprise" on YouTube today. Rumors were swirling for days about what the major announcement was going to be; the announcement that the animated toupe said was "bordering on gigantic."

Does Mitt Romney use spray tan? It's the question we've all asked, and answered, with, yes, duh, of course, look at this picture. But in the absence of sources, we've been stuck just pointing at this photo, in which Mitt Romney is clearly wearing spray tan.

It's not a secret that Indiana Republican Senate candidate Richard Mourdock believes abortion should only be allowed in the case of when the mother's life is in danger. But tonight he made the mistake of implying that pregnancies resulting from rape a "gift from god." Oof.

A photo of a young looking Mitt Romney with Marcus Bachmann-like limp wrists is making the rounds on Twitter and Tumblr. Even Paula Froelich got in on it today. Look at those teen bullies laugh!

Professional birther troll and ugly haired human, Donald Trump has been parading around this week alleging that he had a bombshell so big that it was "bordering on gigantic." A story so big that it would "possibly" change the state of the election. "Possibly," everybody.

Here at Gawker.com, an influential Tennessee politics blog, we don't often endorse candidates. According to many medical studies, politicians are queer in the head and full of bile, and as longtime readers know, we do not consider the U.S. government legitimate since it abandoned the gold standard and put all whites up for collateral against foreign debt in 1933. (See our previous article, "Six Great Tips for Hiding the IRS Agent's Body.")

Yeah, yeah, the bayonets thing: for true political connoisseurs the most important moment of last night's presidential debate was the return of Creepy Josh Romney, our favorite breakout star from the second presidential debate.
