    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?

    Is Jeckyl & Hyde still open? Their food sucked just as bad, but they had that whole 200-beer selection going for them. Plus the snarky skeletons who called your mother-in-law old and fat before wishing her a happy birthday. Also did I mention the 200 beers?

    Amazing how there's only 50 governors in all of the USA, and I can name at least five that had some sort of shameful bullshit scandal attached to them. 1/10th!

    Best line ever from the R-Patz article: ""I worked on Gossip Girl with guys like Penn Badgely. We’d go out after work and play beer pong. Nobody would bother them. There’s no way Rob can do that. He’d be mobbed.""
    If this isn't a desperate cry for help from Penn's publicist, I don't know what is.

    Pattinson is British, worst tippers second only to Germans. It's in his DNA.
    As for Arquette, what's 'nuts" is that a) they are doing a 4th Scream movie and 2) someone gave him a job.

    @FroderickFronkensteen: those poor bastards are forced to live in a country where waitstaff make a living wage and everyone has health coverage. one day, they'll come to their senses and decide to live on begging, while dying of some curable diseases.
    but being a brit is no excuse, it isn't a mystery how tipping works, kneecap the jerk.

    @secretagentman: The question of tipping was criticized in Germany in 1882 by an expert on Roman and European civil law, Rudolf von Jhering. He said that waiters are, in essence, transport workers who transport food from the kitchen to the customers, and should thus not be forced to beg for alms when it's agreed upon that other transport workers -- like dockworkers -- should be legally entitled to payment for their services. Having employees that don't have the right to sue in court for payment is not consistent with historical Roman and European civil law principles. That pretty much was the end of the debate in Germany.
