Tuesday elections are projected to be the most expensive midterms in history, with over $4 billion going into the campaigns. Analysts say most of these huge contributions come from people who don’t want their tax money used for stupid, pointless things.

Ol’ Joe’s Got a Trick Up His Sleeve
Vice President Joe Biden, known for his optimism, has declared that he doesn’t agree with polls and he believes that Democrats will “keep the Senate.” Biden went on to state that Thelma and Louise totally made it to Mexico.
