That guy there, with the face tattoo … he could be the next president of the Czech Republic. Seriously. Do yourself a favor, read this.
Moving to Eastern Europe just so I can vote for this guy.
Romney is endorsing Obama’s foreign policy. Simple as that. Amazing. You cannot believe it of course. you can believe nothing that comes out of that mouth.Andrew Sullivan (via newsweek)

2012 Debates Memorandum of Understanding Between the Obama and Romney Campaigns
The guidelines of tomorrow’s presidential debate, as agreed upon by both campaigns (technically, this is a “memorandum of understanding,” not a list of official rules). Good get by Mark Halperin over at Time, who highlighted some of the more interesting bits in the 21-page document. source
Looking for pure America on your Tumblr feed? We’re stocking that hardcore this evening, because we’ll be liveblogging “The Rumble 2012,” the Jon Stewart/Bill O’Reilly debate. This is a debate you have to pay money to see, but we paid our five bucks and are going to be covering it over the next hour and a half. Follow the tag rumble2012 to see the highlights. (Protip: People are having technical issues with the site, but the Roku feed is working fine.)
lifeincommas asks: Do you know if the O'Reilly / Stewart debate tomorrow will be available after the fact or is it only streaming? I haven't been able to find anything useful, answer-wise.
» SFB says: According the the FAQ page, “And after the live event, you will be able to download the media file and put it on your favorite device locally.” By the way, in case you want to watch it on TV, it’s available on Roku. I’m probably going to liveblog this, by the way. — Ernie @ SFB
There didn’t seem to be any debate-themed drinking games posted on tumblr today, so we thought we’d make one. It’s weird no other sites decided to make one of these, oh well. Try out the BuzzFeed Presidential Debate Drinking Game!
Unemployment counts for a drink? Man, Buzzfeed’s trying to give us alcohol poisoning.
Our personal favorite? Number 5.
The Massachusetts Senate race is shaping up to be one of the closest races of 2012, with Brown and Warren consistently running within just a few points of one another. If you missed tonight’s debate, here are two recaps.
Unnecessary lingo department: This year, the first and third presidential debates will feature six fifteen-minute “topic pods,” which basically means that the candidates will focus on one subject for fifteen minutes, then move on to another. This is a fine enough format for a debate, but we question the necessity of introducing the term “topic pods” to describe it. Couldn’t they have just called them “topics?” Anyway, there will be a total of four moderators for the debates, and they’ll be announced mid-August. source
This is a totally cheap post on Mediaite’s part, but it’s totally hilarious. And sad. There have been more debates this election season than “Freaks and Geeks” episodes. Which is such a crime.
We will get rid of all this government program, unfortunately because we’re going bankrupt, and gonna have runaway inflation, and our checks are gonna bounce.
Ron Paul.
