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
@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
@Conchie Birdie: One might argue that it was the worst kind of political hackdom for him to bring them up expressly to show his "empathy" side and try to squeeze a tear out of his plastic-surgeryized eye slots. #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? #joebiden
I'm going to start an action group that legally forces people to change their children's names before said children enter school. People over 18 are welcome to accept an anchor but think of the children (with a side of elementary school recess).
I personally applaud the girl. Her husband cheats on her, so she goes and gets someone better, comes out well in the divorce, and celebrates the hell out of her next wedding. I completely get the sentiment there.
What, all money is now supposed to go to charities? We shouldn't buy stuff to stimulate the economy? This wasn't some conference attended by the execs of a failing company; it was her WEDDING. Lighten up.
@ektorp: Removal of varicose veins, huh? Well we all have to make a living somehow. :) And now that he's married to her, he probably doesn't have to work as hard now.
Umm yeah like donating the money to several charities. The best way to receive is to give. Hell she could have even donated to some cause he thought was stupid. For example, my ex-bf was allergic to dogs and I'm a huge dog lover, after we broke up my first instinct was to buy a dog but since I'm a student and live alone in a small apartment I knew it wouldn't get the attention it deserved so I signed up to volunteer at one of my local animal shelters and also joined a non-profit group that helps raise money for stray animals by submitting designs for their promotion fliers. I am able to help for a cause I care deeply about, spend time with the cutest dogs, and do something that my ex wouldn't let me b/c he thought coming over to his place covered in pet dander was a sign that I cared more about a four legged animal than him. And as it turns out I do care more about four legged animals than him after all: )
I for one have to look on the bright side. In these hard economic times, it is admirable to see Dr. Malek recycling a perfectly good, low mileage used wife. The upside for her, is that this new husband model she just drove off the lot, has a varicose vein maintenance contract that comes with the purchase. I'm not seeing a downside here. Anyone?
@Bitter Poor: Not really HER money. She married a dude who ended up making a lot of money while they were married. She didn't make the money. She was just...there.

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

And for chrissakes, I hate the rich as much as anyone, but it IS her money, and she is paying a lot of folks' salary with her extravagance.
