    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

    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?

    Kakutani also labeled on Kindly Ones winning the Prix Goncourt as the French's occasionally perverse taste. One might say the same thing about the rave review she gave to that similarly tome-ish shitshow, Tree of Smoke.

    Damn, there goes all hope for my novel about a bestiality-practicing, self-lobotomizing loquacious 100 Years War veteran that I wrote in Urdu entitled, Kindly, Sahib, Let Me Borrow a Goat and That Reminds Me of a Story About Lancastershire ...

    Yes, this has gotten attention. We had a low bid, then backed off.


    HarperCollins will most definitely not earn back the advance. This is not friggin' France. All those piles of books will be gone from Barnes and Noble in 3-4 weeks.


    You can bet on it.

    Obvious: Excuse me. Is that your nose or did a bus park on your face.

    Meteorological: Everybody take cover. She's going to blow.

    Fashionable: You know, you could de-emphasize your nose if you wore something larger. Like ... Wyoming.

    Personal: Well, here we are. Just the three of us.

    Punctual: Alright gentlemen. Your nose was on time but you were fifteen minutes late.

    Envious: Oooo, I wish I were you. Gosh. To be able to smell your own ear.

    Naughty: Pardon me, Sir. Some of the ladies have asked if you wouldn't mind putting that thing away.

    Philosophical: You know. It's not the size of a nose thats important. It's what's in it that matters.

    Humorous: Laugh and the world laughs with you. Sneeze and its goodbye Seattle.

    Commercial: Hi, I'm Earl Schibe and I can paint that nose for $39.95.

    Polite: Ah. Would you mind not bobbing your head. The orchestra keeps changing tempo.

    Melodic: Everybody! "He's got the whole world in his nose."

    Sympathetic: Oh, What happened? Did your parents lose a bet with God?

    Complementary: You must love the little birdies to give them this to perch on.

    Scientific: Say, does that thing there influence the tides.

    Obscure: Oh, I'd hate to see the grindstone.

    Inquiry: When you stop to smell the flowers, are they afraid?

    French: Say, the pigs have refused to find any more truffles until you leave.

    Pornographic: Finally, a man who can satisfy two women at once.

    Religious: The Lord giveth and He just kept on giving, didn't He.

    Disgusting: Say, who mows your nose hair.

    Paranoid: Keep that guy away from my cocaine!

    Aromatic: It must be wonderful to wake up in the morning and smell the coffee ... in Brazil.

    Appreciative: Oooo, how original. Most people just have their teeth capped.

    Dirty: Your name wouldn't be Dick, would it?
