    In reply to Joe Biden Has a Car Curse
    According to the NY Times story, Biden learned about the crash after taping the show and called the officers to see how they were doing. Technically, it also wasn't three crashes involving his motorcade. In one of the incidents, his limo and suburban were being transported to a storage house at 2 in the morning by secret service agents when the drivers hit a pedestrian. Biden wasn't in the limo or anywhere around. Wasn't exactly a motorcade.

    Wow- it's pretty fucked up that you used his wife and daughter's deaths to make a 'funny' point referencing Nostradamus. Very low.

    @NcSchu: and I loved how he joked about not having to sit in traffic in New York City anymore as 3 people laid up in the hospital. What a classy guy.

    @slite: FWIW, it's extremely unlikely that Biden even knew there was an accident. This was one of the advance car that goes a mile ahead of the motorcade to block intersections. And the Secret Service tends to leave its charges alone unless direct action is necessary.

    This is depressing.

    When I see a post on Joe Biden, I don't want depressing; what I want are photos of his glorious, glorious teeth, all shiny and white, like pearly little gifts from the gods.

    In reply to Joe Biden Has a Car Curse
    Biden's wife and daughter were killed, and his son almost died, but somehow because you can't think of anything to write about you decide to turn it into a stupid post about a 'car curse' and 'Nostradamus'?

    Why don't you use some family tragedy of your own? If you lack such tragedy, why don't you do some writer-prayers that a few things pop up soon, maybe even a multi-vehicle pile-up, so you'll have another story for Gawker. #joebiden

    @Froggmann: Bollocks. I've lived here for a decade and it makes NYC and LA look like a filthy concrete canyons filled with self-important douche bags

    Has it got problems? You bet. Plenty in fact, but, if the city proper didn't have screwed up taxes and ridiculously high insurance rates I'd be living downtown.

    But since you've already passed judgment, please continue doing so and stay away. #charlieleduff

    Another fun "How violent is Detroit?" factoid: Half the City Council plans to be carrying concealed weapons next year:

    [www.freep.com]

    Even the minister who was elected says he receives death threats.

    (I actually work a lot in Detroit's residential neighborhoods. The only safety precaution my employer allows is... a rape whistle. I get some laughs when I tell the locals that.) #charlieleduff
