    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

    Oh, and if you're trying to poke fun at Vice Prez Biden for weeping during the debate when he spoke about his first wife and baby daughter who died, well then, that's just messed up. #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?

    So, is the kid's full name Georgica Sawn Pond Rose Petal Qi Xin Popcorn? Because that one last name is just the final insult.


    Also, is Faith Popcorn more of a country singer name, a clown name or a hobo name? I can't decide.

    And are you willing to do all of this demeaning, soul-sucking crap for a mere $16.60 an hour*? If so, put on your hairshirt and come on down!


    *This is the high end, based on 3,000 hours a year at $50,000. You'll probably start at the low end.

    I knew of a "futurist" once. Jeanne Dixon. She retrospectively reported grand and astonishing predictions. However, when she tried her hand in real time, not so much. She drastically missed 'em all, and ended up writing one of those silly astrology columns. There's probably some term for a has-been futurist.

    I'm so happy that someone else remembers that!

    I remember when she went on Phil Donahue's show in Chicago back in the early 70s & past posted a prediction as to who Nixon was going to appoint to run the then Dept. of HEW.

    Except it had been printed in newspapers the day before!

    @Greasy Thumb Guzik: It was a simpler time, back then, with trust risen up above the gullibility line. All of her predictions were like, her waking up, anxious, calling a butler or friend; "Tell Roosevelt we should guard the ships in Hawaii!"


    She would tell us this in the seventies, about 1941. So it went. She was the most famous hindsight prognosticator of her era.

    Can you construct an Upper East Side townhouse?

    Can you find talented and gifted Chinese food?

    Can you cut a holistic veteran in New Jersey with bamboo?

    And get hot in a restaurant.

    No problem?


    Salary is lots of learning about Futurama.

    Just because she doesn't know how old her daughter is doesn't mean she fails to update her profile on a regular basis. Remember, "company comes first."

    I hope the biggest trend in 2009 is that companies will stop paying outrageous amounts of money for twee-sounding bullshit, and will instead concentrate on making a good product at a reasonable price, but I guess that's just too much to ask.
