    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

    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?

    Jared Kushner's charming and no fool. So I wonder why he's rubbishing the Observer's editorial traditions quite so publicly. It could be that he learned from his father that's how people are managed (even journalists). Or maybe he tried the softly-softly approach and grew tired of it as the paper's losses worsened. The trashing of Kaplan's Observer could just possibly be a deliberate attempt to shock the newspaper's staff out of old habits.

    Is it just me or did the actual PAPER get thinner this week? I don't mean as in fewer pages, I mean as in onion skin style pressed pulp. All that's left is a skeleton staff with the busiest employee selling legal notices.

    I used to love the Observer. Well-written, if not meaty stories. Now it's a glorified Hamptons social rag. I still receive it because I already paid for my subscription, but now I just go straight to the crossword puzzle.

    Cheating in the 80's must have been so much easier, no emails, cellphones etc to get you in trouble. And the excuses, much more plausilble: "I have to go return some videotapes." Now who can argue with that. Remember those late fees?

    "I'm happy for him when he is at the office working late." Wow. That sounds like a relationship made in heaven. I suspect the divorce lawyers are already lining up for when these two get married.
