Joel Watts shared this bingo game to play during tonight’s debate: You would obviously need to print versions with the squares in different places, otherwise all players will win at the same time. Joel also suggests a drinking game that will result in your passing out before the debate is over. Read more
I’m not one of the Jar Jar haters, for the record, and even so I found the first part funny – and the rest of it even more so. Read more
