    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

    My favorite thing about John and Edward (besides that they are the worst things ever) are that Britain basically tuned out on Sanjaya and in doing so rewarded Simon Cowell for it by allowing him to live through the horrifying event again twice over. I think this is absolutely appropriate as well as being sadistic on a national level and I support the errant behavior of the British voting public. #brangelina

    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 realize I'm the only person in history ever to have this thought, but for some reason I think Bai Ling can do no wrong, while Bjork is just flat-out embarrassing.

    I know; I don't know what's become of me either. And it's even worse than you think: I also root openly for the Hipster Grifter. #brangelina

    @snugbug: If you put some jazzy piano behind that video, it's like Bjork is taking a Mister Rogers' Neighborhood-style tour of the inner workings of a TV (which makes sense, because Bjork lives in the Land of Make-Believe). Not nearly as informative, though. #brangelina

    @goetz: But her mind works on a poetic, not logical, level! I love that she approaches ordinary inanimate objects with such.. curiosity.

    What I love even more is that we're collectively ignoring Brangelina and Madonna & focusing on Bjork and Bai Ling. Good job, @all. #brangelina

    @Caius: You make a very compelling argument for non sequiturs. But Newt Gingrich doesn't actually eat pizza with a spoon.

    And @snugbug: Dear God, that TV clip is nine kinds of fermented awesome. I may have been wrong about Bjork after all.

    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?

    David Beckham's so worried that his children will be America-fied that he makes them watch BBC. Isn't that child abuse?

    No, it is not child abuse. I'd rather be watching the likes of Doctor Who, Being Human, or Merlin than Cougar Town, Everybody Hates Chris, or Melrose Place.
