    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

    Oh, and if you're trying to poke fun at Vice Prez Biden for weeping during the debate when he spoke about his first wife and baby daughter who died, well then, that's just messed up. #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?

    Oh, by the way, new rule I decided this morning for anyone who's looking: feel free to crit the points ranking or argue the nature of the way the couples were studied. But: give Ms. Nefler any of the we-don't-like-this shit you fuckers give me, and I will ban you with little to no discretion.


    YAY for this column, again. +4.

    I suppose it might have been implicit in your +2 points award, but if not, you neglected to give them an extra point for not only being married by the bride's father the priest, but also by an *Episcopal* priest.

    Actually though, both couples were wed in accordance with the genteel Episcopalian faith. It's a push!

    How is the Heidi Montag clone's father a priest?
    I've been away from the Catholic church for a while, but isn't that against priest rule #1?

    @Hockeymom: Lutheran priests can be married, as can Eastern Catholic priests. Also, I think that if a Roman Catholic priest is married before he enters the seminary, that he is permitted to remain married.

    I am the least snobby person on the planet--I met my husband at Coney Island High on St. Mark's Place and I got married in an Italian joint in the Paulus Hook section of Jersey City--but there is no excuse EVER to get marred in flip-flops.

    Methinks these two folks in recovery may not have had the big bucks to buy fancy shoes for their nuptials. I realize that today's subjects/writer have pedigrees and tasteful cash up the wazoo, but most of us hoi polloi, recovered and not, are feeling the affects of our soured economy. I hope these two can make it, especially for the sake of their sweet-faced girl. I know I'm being unironic, but this Yale M.A. grad (who thinks New Haven is a depressing hole) thinks their story is a big ole breath of fresh air.

    @JeanneNarea: Yes, I don't really care about fancy overpriced wedding shoes, I know we're in a recession, etc., but "shoes" is the key word here: shoes, not flipflops--which render you practically barefoot. Seeing as she's also pregnant, it's not such a cute combo, IMHO.
