DEBATE: We’ve got high hopes for the entertainment value of tonight’s vice presidential debate between comically inappropriate Joe Biden and P90X advocate Paul Ryan. Watch them make up facts about foreign and domestic policy at debate viewing parties at the National Press Club, all the Busboys and Poets locations, Red Derby, and probably any bar with a TV. 9:00 p.m. Free.

BASEBALL: The Nationals’ next post-season game against the St. Louis Cardinals takes place today at 4:00 p.m. Limited $30 standing-only tickets may still be available.

ANIMALS: Maggiano’s Little Italy (5333 Wisconsin Avenue NW) hosts Wines for Canines and Felines this evening, a wine tasting event to benefit Montgomery County Humane Society. Twenty wineries and over 100 wines will be on hand, and the event will also feature a silent auction. 6:30-9:00 p.m. $75.

MUSIC: Calexico and The Dodos play the 9:30 Club (815 V Street NW) tonight. 7:00 p.m. $20.
