    The Roman Empire would have mercilessly crucified Santa and all his Elves. We merely enslaved and sold them off to Keebler where today they work in heartless cookie factories worthy of the literary talents of Upton Sinclair. Enjoy some with your tea today! #barackobama

    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?

    Well, as you all know, I'm a raging bitch. And as you may not know, the total number of tweets I've made seems to be going DOWN rather than up lately. I'd hate to be the intern assigned to "cleaning up the raincoaster stream". Augean stables, anyone? #twitter

    Let's test it out. All one needs to do is:

    1. Make a new Twitter account (or use an already-established one),

    2. make sure it's public -- so that its tweets will show up on search.twitter.com -- and then send out several tweets,

    3. make sure that the tweets have variety: normal, trivial ones; @replies to non-famous people; nice @replies to famous people; mean @replies to famous people (to both some of the same people that some of the nice @replies were sent to and new ones); etc.,

    4. conduct a ton of different searches on search.twitter.com and track the results: search immediately after sending tweets, a couple of hours after, a day after, etc. and then see which ones a) never showed up in the search, b) showed up but then disappeared, and c) showed up and stayed,

    5. see what the results tell you about the question you're trying to answer.

    I'd be happy to test it out if you'd like me to do so. Let me know. #twitter

    @narnio: You have a point -- I'm on it.

    I think it'd be hilarious if I did it with either @dinalohan or @kiera_knightley. The problem, though, is that Dina technically doesn't really know how to @reply to people and Keira is too much of a snob to really bother. #twitter

    Well, but if Twitter drops the ball, who's going to protect me from Mickey Kaus then? Huh? The Hipster Grifter?

    Although on further reflection, I could probably get behind that plan.
