For people who can't tell a donkey from an elephant: Biography: Barack Obama (Updated Edition) / Biography: John McCain (Updated Edition)

Be honest, you know election day falls on November 4th – wait, you really knew that, right? – yet you may still be harboring undecided feelings as to whom you'll ultimately vote for. Seriously, if all you know about the (presumptive) candidates is that Barack is the media's homeboy and that McCain has squat arms and is quite old, then maybe you could use a little brushing up on your political skills. Enter original programming from A&E, which aired 50-minute biographies on the presidential hopefuls before they even entered their names in the candidate hat. Trust me, you need this. And the country does, too.

Barack Obama disc includes: Bare bones.
John McCain disc includes: Bare bones.

For Yankees fans in need of some World Series lovin': New York Yankees: Heart of the Order

Remember when the New York Yankees were actually winning championships? Not to say the team isn't winning anymore – the team has made it into the playoffs for 13 consecutive seasons and could make it 14 by the end of the year – but New York hasn't celebrated for reals since 2000. Yes, 2000! (Even with the organization's ridiculous amount of spending money to snatch up the league's best players).

Well, for the real down-and-out fans, you may just find solace in Heart of the Order, a disc that chronicles the lives – both on the field and off – of (arguably) the four greatest Yankees of all time: Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio and Mickey Mantle. Watching the boys teach the opposing teams a thing or two about how to play ball will wipe away the current team's woes real good.

Disc includes: Bare bones.
