    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?

    I love Rob Thomas, and I really want to get excited about everything he does, but why does it sound like they all suck?

    Duplicity? I'll tell you what went wrong. I hate Julia Roberts. I LOVE Clive Owen and I LOVE thrillers. But because of Julia "the mouth" Roberts, I won't go. And with any other actress, I would have already attended.

    America does not like Julia Roberts as much as the press thinks we do.

    @AspasiaReptile: I went to this movie and I enjoyed it, dammit! Helps that Roberts doesn't play a particularly likeable character, that's largely left to lovely Clive.


    The opening credit sequence really set the tone for the whole film, too. And the soundtrack was good... Seriously, go see it, it's thinky and convoluted and I liked it. Slightly Thomas Crown Affair-ish.

    I find it interesting that this morning everyone (except gawker) is reporting that Monsters V.S. Aliens is a box office smash!!!!! But just a few weeks ago Watchmen grossed 3 million dollars less in its first weekend and everyone was painting it as a moderate flop.

    @JudgeFudge: Because nobody was rooting for Monsters vs. Aliens to fail. Note the "How embarrassing for Watchmen to get beaten by a kids movie!" jab, when I don't think anyone was expecting it to hold onto the "biggest opening weekend of the year" title for very long.


    That being said, Monsters vs. Aliens was actually pretty cute.

    @oboesqueaks: I haven't seen any figures, but my guess is that Monsters was close to $150, which was Watchmne's budget. All those CG animated family tent-pole seem to be budgeted around that these days....

    I thought the problem about Duplicity was the marketing. It was confusing and didn't tell you anything about what the movie was about. I mean, are they supposed to be spies? Do they work for the CIA? Are they rivals or partners? Is there romantic tension? And it's helpful to know that they wear big sunglasses, but why do they wear big sunglasses?
