Vice President Joe “Crazy Uncle” Biden and Republican veep candidate Paul “Damien Omen V Eyes” Ryan will square off for the one and only vice presidents' debate in Danville, KY Thursday night. If this were your usual meeting of political minds between men who would be the dude next to the King, anyone watching would be guaranteed a pretty good nap before bedtime.
