    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

    @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?

    Angels fans are the worst fans in the world. They left in the 6-7th to beat traffic, and their only response to our banner was a well-dressed Saddle-back looking couple calling us "fagggggots."

    Really.

    You're team is getting crushed and you're response is to sit their quietly until a yankee fan takes out a banner... then show your simple-minded bigotry.

    Really.... see you at the World Series! #jasoncalacanis

    (btw, I think it's "Pseudo.com" .. at least I hope it is) -- and what's funny is that there's a pic of a naked girl from that video where naked girls are walking around some European city, juxtaposed above an ad for Baby Einstein products .. bonk. #jasoncalacanis

    I won't waste my time with the stupid video.

    These two (among many) seem to amazingly come up with some attention-getting emotional stunts just at about the time they need to draw attention to some money-making activity.

    I find their revelations about technology often not so revelatory.

    I'd rather get my information from technologists who have subsequently learned journalism than from journalists (and other non-tech backgrounds) who struggle to understand technology having never "done it".

    How was it this year? I saw a little of the ustream live feed - the comments were particularly harsh and the companies were mostly lead-gen or, just, not thought out - Sprowtt?! really?

    Also a lot of half-price/free ticket type offers leading up to the event. Tough environment.

    Seriously, if the school house rock guys need the 50 cents they'll make from the 12 people who clicked on "when a bill becomes a law" when I posted it on my blog 2 years ago, that's just too pathetic for words, really.

    And so it begins. This time it's not the evil old RIAA or MPAA, it's an organization that actually makes sure content creators get paid.


    I love this. Soon, everyone will have to pay for every bit of content they consume. Finally.

    @Ricki-Oh: Sure, i'd gladly pay the content creator. But some faceless organization that takes 80% of the fees and sends the creator 20%? not so much.

    @Moonshine Mike: Individual creators do not have the time or the means to track the use of their work and that's why these organizations exist. PS: Where did you get the 80/20 split info...or did you just make that up?
