This is shaping up to be what might be the most watched VP debate in history and is certainly going to be the most entertaining. Most of it will probably be "ha-ha" funny, but for those C-Span junkies out there like me a lot of it will be laughing through your tears funny. No matter your political ideology, if you have paid close enough attention these last few years you'll know exactly what I'm talking about.

To try and ease the pain that is likely to come and celebrate the entertainment that I know is forthcoming I give you my Vice-Presidential Debate Drinking Game. Hopefully, if all or most of these are needed you won't be able to remember the train-wreck in the morning. Have fun, and remember to vote. (Seriously, voter registration for Missouri ends next Wednesday and if you have any doubt about your voting status go ahead and fill out a form.)

Moderator Gwen Ifill
If she mentions her upcoming book, take a drink.
If she doesn't mention it, take a shot.
If someone besides Ifill is moderating, finish your drink.
If she cuts off someone's time or says "That's all the time you have" a la the 2004 Veep debates, take a shot.

Senator Joe Biden
Drink every time Scranton is mentioned.
Drink anytime he says "Washington insiders."
Drink whenever he goes overtime.
Subjectively, drink every time he uses far too many words to answer a question.
Take a drink whenever he mentions being friends with McCain.
Take a shot whenever he says something unintentionally racist.
Two shots whenever he says something historically inaccurate.
Three shots whenever he says something unintentionally sexist.
Double the shots if the gaffe is intentional.
Finish your drink if he mentions "Beretta rifles" or shooting Obama.
Drink if he mentions stuttering as a child.
Finish your drink if he does stutter.
If he begins telling a story, drink until he finishes.
If he mentions MLK, Jr. or another famous "community organizer" finish your drink.
If he mentions one of his previous presidential campaigns, take a drink.
If he gives a one word answer, finish your drink.
If he begins anything with

"I started thinking as I was coming over here, why is it that Joe Biden is the first in his family ever to go to a university?"

and you are supporting McCain, open a bottle of champagne and celebrate. If you are an Obama supporter, shoot yourself in the face.

Governor Sarah Palin
Drink for every run on sentence.
Drink for every non-answer.
Drink every time the moderator asks for a clarification.
Finish your drink if she doesn't clarify.
Take a shot if she says she sold a plane on E-Bay.
Take a shot if she says she didn't support the "Bridge to Nowhere."
Take another shot if she is called out on it.
If she denigrates "community organizers" take a drink.
Take a drink if she says she reads "all of them" in reference to newspapers.
Finish your drink and take a shot if Tina Fey is mentioned in any context.
Take a shot if she calls rape or incest a situation that is "less than ideal."
Take a drink is she denies Global Warming.
Take a shot if she advocates teaching creationism in science classes.
Finish your drink if she mentions Russia's visibility from an island in Alaska that she has never visited.

Bonus Drinks
Anytime someone is accused of being inexperienced, take a drink.
Anytime someone is accused of being an "insider," take a drink.
Anytime voting records come up, take a drink.
Take a shot if you hear "small town" or "elitist."
Anytime the Bush Doctrine is mentioned (by name) take a shot.
Drink anytime the words "train," "moose," "mining," or "lipstick" are mentioned.
If watching on MSNBC, drink if they immediately call it for Biden. If watching on Fox News, drink if they immediately call it for Palin.

So, I've been 18 for a few days now, and the time is approaching... Before next week, I'll have my first tattoo. My parents will die [if they ever find out].

Alright, boredom has sent me on a definite quiz kick, and here are the results:

You Belong in Barcelona

When it comes to Europe, you don't want to decide between culture and fun. You want art by day and a big party by night.

Barcelona is ideal for you. You can check out some Picasso, eat some tapas, take a siesta, and then dance all night!

What European City Do You Belong In?

What Color Should Your Eyes Be?

What Your Soul Really Looks Like

You are a wanderer. You constantly long for a new adventure, challenge, or eve a completely different life.

You are a very grounded, responsible, and realistic person. People may not want to hear the truth from you, but they're going to get it.

You believe that people see you for how you are, not how you look. But deep down, you know that's not exactly true.

Your near future is still unknown, and a little scary. You'll get through wild times - and you'll textually enjoy it.

For you, falling in love is all about the adventure and uncertainty. You can only fall in love with someone who keeps you guessing.

Inside the Room of Your Soul

You posses a sharp and keen intellect. Your mind is your primary weapon.

Strong willed, nothing can keep you down. Your energy can break down any wall.

You're an instantly passionate person - and this passion gives you an intoxicating power over others.

At your worst, you are a narcissist. Full of yourself and even proud of your faults.

Stubborn and opinionated, you know what you think is right. End of discussion.

A bit of a misanthrope, you often see others as weak, ignorant, and inferior.
