    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?

    Am I missing something? A magazine that can lay off 50 editors and still have anyone left seems like it might have been overstaffed.
    Also, it's hard to feel bad for laid off rich and upper upper middle class people. #forbes

    @deva14: Almost everyone I've worked with in the business is pulling down mid- to upper-mid five figures, with the tip-top bosses maybe nudging into six. (That was before the Crash; I will be surprised if my next editorial job pays in the 50s, down from 80.)

    Granted, my experience is West Coast, niche business journalism, but still... #forbes

    @quotidian: Migrant workers are shaking because those displaced editors are going to vying for shrinking domestic labor jobs.
    It sure is terrible when the old economy dies- I'm sure there is no future other than to cater to old money on an old platform as it dies off.
    There is still a lot of fat in our economy. I meet people all the time with bullshit jobs that shouldn't exist with big salaries while real people work 3 jobs and struggle.
    stupid is as stupid does
    So this is an opportunity, this is cleaning up the system. this is healthcare reform.
    sorry i'm kinda spun out today

    @Flippyjack: not true about Forbes, or most other b-books. And you missed quotidian's original point: Those displaced editors and other "old money" (ahem) aren't going to be stealing domestic labor/migrant jobs. They'll no longer have the income to buy the strawberries migrants workers pick, or have their house cleaned by the person who has two other jobs and still struggles, or be regular customers of the service industry where minimum-wagers work. Middle/upper classes getting fucked means everyone else'll get fucked, too. #forbes
