Leaving her family matters behind on Long Island, Lindsay Lohan sought to get as far away as possible (within the continental United States), and jumped on the first (and only?) invitation in her inbox: A Beverly Hills launch party for Mr. Pink Ginseng Drink.

Between the LOLs, the memes, the animated GIFs, and the parody Twitter accounts, there was plenty Internet to go around during last night's one-and-done vice-presidential debate.

According to Twitter, the vice presidential debate was entirely more lively than the first presidential debate. According to Joe Biden, the vice presidential debate was very funny—nay, hilarious. The current VP chuckled almost every time Paul Ryan opened his mouth. But who can blame him when Ryan changed his mind at least three times over the course of the debate, still could not produce numbers to back up his tax plan, and basically said that his reason for wanting to outlaw abortion is that his daughter once looked like a bean? Seriously.

The 2012 vice presidential debate begins at 9 p.m. How drunk will Joe Biden be? How drunk will we be? How many push-ups will Paul Ryan do? How many very direct analogies to pornography or guitar solos can an event like this inspire? Join us here for a liveblog with my esteemed colleague Drew Magary.

Speaking with The Columbus Dispatch yesterday, presidential nominee Mitt Romney reiterated his vow to repeal Obamacare and put in place a system that relies mostly on having people go to the emergency room when they need medical attention.

Esquire and Yahoo! have teamed up to give us the presidential poll to end all presidential polls; finally answering burning questions like, which candidate would win in a fistfight? And who would win in a Republican vs. Democrat dream team matchup of Ronald Reagan vs. Bill Clinton?

Deep down, probably all of us secretly wish that The Onion's version of Vice President Joe Biden were real. Perhaps it's all those gaffes talking—the combined weight of decades of gives-no-fuck moments leading to the suspicion that maybe this is a dude who would be willing to race you for the vice presidency because, face it, your IROC-Z is bullshit. The idea that any iteration of that dude might show up is what makes tomorrow night's vice presidential debate so potentially exciting.

Ann "Of The People" Romney stopped by Good Morning America to talk average American stuff — show horses, Welsh cakes — this morning. She was a "guest host," filling in for Robin Roberts who is, of course, still recovering from a bone marrow transplant.

It's been nearly a week since the first presidential debate, but the Obama campaign hopes Mitt Romney's Big Bird gaffe is still strong enough in the minds of voters that an ad lampooning the GOP nominee's vow to "crack down on Sesame Street" will slow down the post-debate momentum evident in the latest Pew Research poll.

Paul Ryan's handlers abruptly ended an interview with Flint, Michigan's ABC12 today after the reporter attempted to connect Ryan's proposed tax cuts to his plan to lower gun-related violence. To be fair, the tax question was unrelated, but Ryan's response was a bit childish.

Riding high on the latest Pew poll numbers which put him in the lead by 4 points among likely voters, Mitt Romney turned down a request from Nickelodeon to appear in its quadrennial "Kids Pick the President" special.

Mitt Romney just finished delivering a speech called "The Mantle of Leadership" at the Virginia Military Institute in Lexington. It was billed by his campaign as a major foreign policy speech.

President Obama was mostly MIA during the first presidential debate, so here, instead, is a video of GOP nominee Mitt Romney losing last week's debate to his greatest foe: Mitt Romney.

The only way to properly explain actress Stacey Dash's eternal youth is through a combination of essential oils and daily soaks in slipper tubs overflowing with the blood of newborn.

The quality of animation on YouTube is hit or miss, which is why it's always nice to see the work of an accomplished professional.

It's nice to have famous friends, especially when you're running for office.

Barry Blitt's cover art for next week's New Yorker — entitled "One on One" — may be an obvious gag, but as the New York Times' Michael Roston points out, "a grand slam is an obvious way to win a ballgame."

How did Mitt Romney win the debate? Sure, it could be because his opponent was unprepared and listless. Or it could be because he had a cheat sheet with all the answers on it. Careful video analysis of Romney taking something out of his pocket has revealed, Daily Kos bloggers and others claim, a tiny piece of paper covered with answers. ("OBAMA POLICIES = BAD.")

Snoop Dogg (or Snoop Lion now, I guess?) won't be voting for Mitt Romney.

After spending five years watching a diffident political compromiser campaign for and occupy the White House, Democrats were still shocked that Wednesday's debate didn't reveal Barack Obama: Political Nut-Cutter.
