    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?

    Incidentally, I much prefer the pictures or depictions of executions from the days of yore. They're just so exciting! The Impostors reference was imaginative but it just didn't have the same effect as the traditional image of a good old-fashioned execution. Just sayin.

    I think it is fun to try to figure out AD's latest incarnation. I suspect that the original AD is a beloved original commenter who is unhappy with the direction of this site.

    Whoa, and hello! Back from the Staff "Holiday" part, take-out Indian food (red dot, not feather) and lots of wine:


    Dear Baby Jesus,


    Please and thank you for sparing me, but I pray for my friend Minsley Tortimer, whomever (whoever?) that may be. And that all expenses paid trip to the Lorenza Medeci vineyard/hotel in Chianti? That's still good, right?


    We get to go home now, no pink slips, although a friend of mine in NYC was laid off yesterday. "They do it on a Thursday now so they can check your computer and files on Friday and shut the books."


    God bless us everyone.

    Hey Richard, for the record: "Minsley Tortimer" was definitely American Dreamer. "Glitter Panda" was definitely the commenter formerly known as Minsely Tortimer (the real one).


    I have to say I'm disappointed with the execution of iplaudius, since he/she was trying to do a public service by alerting folks that the person posing as "Minseley Tortimer" was an imposter. Having been victimized myself by the same "commenter identity theft" by American Dreamer, I appreciate iplaudius's motives in doing that. I'm sorry to see him/her go.


    But the "blinky tag" is irritating. I can't argue with you there.


    (Also, I miss the real Minsely. I hope she comes back under a new name and doesn't reveal her true identity this time.)
