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
@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
@Conchie Birdie: One might argue that it was the worst kind of political hackdom for him to bring them up expressly to show his "empathy" side and try to squeeze a tear out of his plastic-surgeryized eye slots. #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? #joebiden
I had a friend at the Bhagat wedding who wouldn't shut up about it. This sounds like a real contender for long-term win. Apparently they had a Nobel Peace Prize winner there among other people, which was the big takeaway. And the Jew-Muslim White-Indian thing combined with three different weddings sounds pretty awesome. I've been jealous of the invite and am not surprised to see them take this one. And tough competition, the guys are hott.
Small victories: in the print edition (couldn't find it online) they ran a correction for their misspelling of wheaten terrier, which I POINTED OUT IN THIS SPACE. I'm gunning for your job, Bob Woletz's copy editor.
I'm trying to think what store in "Noho" he bought his blazer at. Le Chateau? No way. Nom de Guerre? Difficult to navigate with a stroller. Atrium? Likely.
@MattGaymon: You are smart to place scare quotes around the neighborhood, as it's more than likely they are totally reaching there and they were actually in, like, Washington Square Park.
She is the daughter of Melabee M. Miller and Laurence M. Miller of Hillside, N.J. Her father is a lawyer in private practice in Jersey City. Her mother is a freelance architectural photographer whose photographs appear in magazines and newspapers.
I misread Adam Levine and Jansen Wu as Jason Wu. I had visions of Maroon 5 and Michelle Obama. My fave line thus far, I have a few more couples to go is :
Remy Elizabeth Pearce and Jonathan David Forgang were married Saturday by Rabbi Peter H. Schweitzer at the Players club in New York.
Oh my God "Phyllis" really outdid herself this week. This is DELICIOUS on every level and I don't even read the vows section. BTW: I will NEVER have Elaine's namedropped in an article about me. Please God please.

Is there some negative correlation between the quality of stories and the quality of AJAX/CSS? #joebiden
