    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

    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?

    Best line - "GK: ...based around storytelling. It's poetry... you got situations where you bump into a pregnant girl, but she's so pretty, and you wish you could have her, but she's pregnant and she's married."

    Love it - so if she was just pregnant, or just married, go for it! But pregnant and married, whoa, slow down...

    That's funny, because I heard some of the leaked tracks and was getting more of a "was thinking about the implications of our consumer culture for this earth, our island home, then had a fifth birthday party for my daughter and maybe the pony ride concessioneer was looking pretty foxy, and then the pony got loose and trampled the $1500 cake my wife had picked out, and then like a month before that I had a dream where I was getting it on with a pony smeared in cake" sort of feel to it. I think the word I'm looking for is "whimsical".

    From the interview:

    "Wait. How am I supposed to be successful without a job?

    I hate to answer a question with a question but what is you definition of success?"

    Well, Mokey-Fraggle-After-The-Sex-Change, probably to be able to proof my own rhetorical question-driven interview.

    That would be me definition of success.

    @snugbug: Every ad run in the past ten years in Japan is better than anything from his firm. The freaking AFLAC ads in Japan are hilarious and cute, let alone the wacky local shit.

    Americans advertising is just a shit sandwich from top to bottom. If you pay attention, it appeals to one demographic: those who identify themselves as stupid.

    KFC's new tagline is "Unthink". Need I say more?

    Yeah, but Crispin Porter + Bogusky still does the coolest creative crap in advertising today. I'm basing my opinion on a book called HOOPLA, which I love--sort of a retrospective of their work. Any ad creative types willing to back me up on this, or am I whistling "Dixie" out of my ass?

    @snugbug: Crispin is one of the best, but some of their new stuff is really edging toward crap. I'd say agencies like Droga5, Goodby, Wexley SFG etc have a leg up because they're not ruled by a douche.

    @BogusBogusky is right most of the time.
