    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?

    Bookish, don't read this. Choire Sicha, this might be helpful for you.

    True story: I picked up a call one night about 20 years ago that was meant for my roommate the doctor. It was a well-known C-grade actress who we can now view on a sitcom or two. She stated, approximately: "Your friend the lawyer and I hit it off at a party and we went to his hotel. We had sex, but he didn't pull out! We were going to have sex again, but my boyfriend started pounding on the door. I don't know how he found us! So your friend is passed out now and I need the morning after pill. Can you get me the morning after pill? I know it's not legal yet, but I know you can get one. I don't know what to do. I can't leave because he' s out there and he's going to kill us. Can you? Can you help me?"

    I couldn't, but I did suggest that she douche with coca-cola. She gushed, "thank you, thank you, thank you" through her tears and hung up.

    Hey, to anyone out there who may be wondering where the Top Chef live blog post is ... No live blog tonight, because Top Chef is a repeat. Next new episode is Oct. 7.

    But join us for the Project Runway live blog tomorrow night!

    @MisterHippity: sadness, i just came over looking for it. To assuage my hunger (heh heh) for disastrous kitchen adventures (and since I don't want to watch Top Chef reruns) BBC america is airing some eps of Kitchen Nightmares. For those unfamiliar, and with the higher channels, the show is fantastic

    see ya'll tomorrow night.

    That person talking about the refrigerator is either the assistant to an EIC and talking about his or her personal refrigerator, or started at CNP in the mid-nineties.
    From what I have been told from people in the building (I freelance and work at home), the cost-cutting is going to be way more on the operational/manufacturing/business side.
    That said, I think ye olde fat contributing editor contract is going to be phased out at most mags.
