    Biden was the most inscrutable choice, ever, for VP. Instead of "change" Obama brought out an old hack, who had trouble with both truth telling, even during the campaign, and with inserting his foot into his mouth. Oh, to know what kind of negotiation that was, to get him on the ticket---except, perhaps to allay terrified old white guys who feared a woman and a (half)black man on the ticket would bring on the apocalypse. #joebiden

    apparently I am in the minority, but I love Joe Biden! I think he's like the lovable Steve Urkel of the White House. He comes in, says stupid stuff, knocks shit over, and is like "Did I do that?" Oh Joe. #joebiden

    Joe Biden is everything thats wrong and fucked up with congress. This dope won his seat in the Senate when he was 29 and has never had another job until being VP. He has learned about as much about how the country works from his perch in DC as Palin learned about Russia from staring at it. He is walking proof we need term limits.

    And he doesn't drink. I don't trust people who don't drink, unless they've already been alcoholics. #joebiden

    Why is it that I feel compelled to defend Gawker's subject matter against the editors/writers at least once a day lately?

    Either this new crop of staff writers is utterly fucked, or the editorial direction has taken a nosedive, or both.

    Is there some negative correlation between the quality of stories and the quality of AJAX/CSS? #joebiden

    @Motoko Kusanagi: From where I'm standing, it would appear to be a positive correlation. It's a good day when I get tripped up by fewer than five unresponsive scripts, infinite waits for comments to load or what have you. #joebiden

    @Motoko Kusanagi: Oh yeah, I didn't mean to quibble. I agree that the site gets fancier all the time, but features seem to break often. I should have added before that it could well be my OS and browser causing headaches most readers don't experience. And in all fairness, I haven't been reading long enough to judge contemporary content against the past. #joebiden

    Not sure what point you're trying to make, Amrita... that you think Cheney's worldview makes some sense? That Cheney was initially popular, before everything he did brought his popularity rating to a low of 28%? I love it that Biden is willing to call a moron a moron. This is a ridiculous post. #joebiden

    I'm absolutely NOT a supporter of ANYTHING Dick says... but, Good Lawwd, Biden, Bin Laden will always BE a part of the issue. I'm sorry, I guess if you had the prez saying this I could understand... but, uh, Joe? Nope.

    That being said, why are we posting crap from Fox News anyway - I thought we weren't supposed to take this stuff seriously?

    In reply to Following Hallowed Nerd Tradition, Michael Phelps Dates Asian Chick
    I've always been confused by the Phelps-as-nerd narrative. The guy is successful, an athlete, gets girls etc... Am I having trouble finding his Star Trek costume? His Dungeons and Dragons fetish? His collection of action figures? His predilection for intellectual pursuits over the physical?


    I always thought that jock was the opposite of nerd?


    Also, are there any other mixed-race pairings that we could mock? Maybe Gawker should create a whole subsite dedicated to ridiculing those who date across the tracks.

    @ I think it's because he's so tall and gawky that he gets painted as a nerd. Whatever, he has Marfan syndrome, he can't help that his body looks like it does.

    Aw, isn't that cute. Gawker has Valleywag envy, right down to the Tom Anderson ^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h Gillboy with cute asian girl minus MySpace hookup.


    Other than that, don't knock it till you try it. Asian girls [for me, Chinese and Japanese] rock. Merry Christmas:

    He's dating an Asian! What's wrong with him? I know, I'll use bigotry and stereotypes to find the answer.


    Nope, nothing offensive at all about that.

    White nerds dating Asian girls is a trend. I don't think it's offensive to point it out. What's offensive is that it's hard to find a white nerd to date tall (5'10") black nerd girls like myself. (Sorry for the overshare.)

    Oooooooooooooooooo! "Adult Swim began as a "spin-off" of Cartoon Network, premiering on September 2, 2001 with the airing of Home Movies. The name is derived from public swimming pools often having designated times when children are restricted from using the facilities in favor of adults. These times are often referred to as "adult swim"

    Yes! Thank Gawd for Asian women! Because who else would take all those nerdy ugly white boys (oh whoops-- I guess I mean the OLD ones too!) that nobody else wants?


    No problem USA, we'll take them ALL off your hands.


    And don't worry, you can thank us properly once our mission is fully accomplished. I'm sure you're just dying for the day when you'll no longer have to deal with all those pasty pesky needy mutherfukkers.
