    In reply to Nobody Loves Weepy VP Joe
    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

    @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?

    Is this one of those self-help books that really just emphasizes all your bad points, while it yells, scoffs, calls you names in "straight talk" and invariably makes you want to cheese curl yourself into a be-corned coma, while you cry hysterically to some piteous friend who still reads Tucker Max (Virgin Megastore, $5.99) or worse yet about What to do When the Zombies Attack, and there you are in your Snuggie, scarfing Chicken Mcnuggets with the remote, watching Mall Rats and wondering how a chubby Ben Affleck ever won an Oscar?


    Yes, this is what happens when friends give you kitschy books that they think are cute and will subliminally get you out of sweatpants.


    It won't, though.

    Much as I hate to correct Richard, this sort of thing is more "Barnes & Noble checkout line rack Secret Santa gift for someone you barely know" than "Urban Outfitters bathroom reading table," though the line between the two is pretty blurry...

    This book is going to be HUGE in Alabama. In fact, I bet stores sell the book fried in chicken-fat and served with a side of Goo Goo Clusters.

    Good on you, Richard B. Now is the time to bone up on your proofreading symbols so you can mark the pages correctly (there will be words in this book, won't there?). If you need help, go to the word "proofread" in Webster's and there is a list just waiting for you.


    Do not listen to your editor, the people who sign these books generally don't know shit. Make friends with the marketing manager who is assigned to your book and, of course, your publicist.
