As the Presidential campaign heads into the home stretch, expect more and more folks to pull an Alec Baldwin and declare they will be exiting the country if their favored candidate is not victorious. While people (Baldwin included) rarely ever follow through with these threats, this year JetBlue is making it a bit easier for folks to decamp to foreign soil if their guy suffers electoral defeat.

Americans found out on Wednesday what Mitt Romney has planned if he becomes president: He will cut funding for PBS, effectively firing Big Bird. Romney still claims to "love Big Bird," he just says the country can't afford to pay for the channel. In this economy, our large, yellow feathered friend better start looking for a new job now just in case Romney follows through with his threat.

Watching kids try to answer questions about politics is like watching a cat look at itself in the mirror -- it's funny because they don't know what we know. And also it's really cute. For example, our president is "Broccoli Llama," and when asked what party she belongs to, a little girls says "I can't do this question...

For 53 years, people have been friends with Big Bird. Maybe Mitt Romney should have said something about 'Nova' when talking about cutting funds to PBS.

Mitt Romney can't just say he's going to put Big Bird out of a job and get away with it. Here are the best memes so far from the Great 2012 Big Bird Backlash that don't have curse words. Because in the mind of the internet, when Big Bird gets angry he grabs a rifle and starts spewing obscenities.

That's what was missing from yesterday's debate -- a keytar! Brilliant YouTuber Schmoyoho went through footage of the debate from last night between Mitt Romney and Barack Obama and made it into quite a catchy little song. One way or another, you WILL be interested in politics this election season...

Mitt Romney was on the campaign trail at a Chipotle in Denver, Colorado when this photo was taken. The man in the picture swears this is just his excited face. Unfortunately, his expression, coupled with his striking similarity to a young Will Smith, made this photo a guaranteed internet sensation. It made it's way into Reddit's Photoshop Battles, and these are just a few of the hilarious results.

President Obama has designs on continuing to call 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue his home for the next four years, no matter what Mitt Romney throws at him. And while it may be easy to discuss what Obama needs to do in order to be re-elected, there are several things he should not do.

Most people recognize satire when they see it, but not Floridians. Inboxes and Facebook pages of Florida residents recently received an article by The Onion describing an appearance by President Barack Obama's illegitimate 19-year-old son Luther at the Democratic National Convention. Incredibly, the story sparked a flurry of inquiries as to whether it was real. In case it isn't clear already, no,

What do Taylor Swift, Britney Spears and Jessica Simpson have in common besides the fact that they are all hot, talented, desirable, blonde and have last names that begin with the letter "S?" Well, they are all share a political affiliation and are registered Republicans. True story.

Remember the "you didn't build that" debacle? It turns out if you take enough of President Obama's words out of context you can make him do a little rap song that sounds remarkably like "U Can't Touch This" by MC Hammer. Bonus at 2:52 -- turns out the president is ticklish...

You can always count on Donald Trump to voice an opinion no one asked for. The latest example? He's weighed in on the Kate Middleton topless photo scandal.

Beyonce and Jay-Z hosted a fundraiser for Barack Obama last night (Sept. 18), which raised $4 million for the president's re-election campaign.

These days, Katy Perry is getting spiritual and political. After cleansing her spirit with meditation and a journey to the top of a volcano, Perry has signed on for a fundraiser for President Obama.

Before his political career, Ronald Reagan was a well-known actor. But besides the Gipper, there really hasn't been a president who was a traditional, entertainment-industry celebrity before ascending to the highest office in the land.

The presidential campaign is in full swing and Mitt Romney is ready to fight. He'd better be careful, though, because there's a fine line between winning over voters and alienating them altogether. Here are 10 ways Romney can blow the election:
