    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?

    Gods, that picture. Every time I see it I feel so bad for that cat. It's clearly trying to communicate to the photographer with body language. "Save me, for god's sake, she keeps touching my pink bits, SAVE ME!"

    Just to play devil's advocate, it does seem very strange that this Boss woman married a man for 12 years knowing he didn't have any form of identification except his claim to being a Rockefeller. How is it possible that you married into one of the most prominent family in America and you have never even met any of his family members? Not a peep.

    @Paul.B.Dodd: There was once a huckster who, on a lark, showed up at a local radio show claiming to be the catcher for the MLB team residing in that city. He picked catcher because those guys wear masks most of the time. It worked. He was able to make it with a lady, probably more, and siphon off dollars and gifts from them, even after he was in bed with his sweetie when she had a call from her parents; "If you turn on your teevee, your lover boy is batting in the third in Detroit."


    He said, oh, they always tape those games. See, she really really wanted to believe, because it meant she was lovers with a celebrity. Otherwise, she was just another dupe.

    @Paul.B.Dodd: The Boston Globe (boston.com) article today said that there was a family of 4, in Sutton Place, claiming to be his maternal aunt (he said his parents had died when he was 18) and family. So there were family members.


    The guy was textbook controlling, too. First he insists that she not walk to work without him. Then he takes her away from her family and friends (Nantucket). Then more isolated (Vermont). Then even more isolated (New Hampshire). Have you ever been in an abusive or semi-abusive relationship with a controlling man? It is awfully easy, even when you're smart and educated; then all of a sudden you are told that YOU are the one misreading things.


    ANY reaction of joy from a mother afraid for her child is fine. Dancing, fainting, singing. I ran the NYC Marathon and when it was finally over I started laughing from the "rush". Who is she to stage-manage Boss' reactions? I hate Peyser.
