    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

    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?

    "lede" instead of "lead"? Wow, defamer has really gone downhill the last month in the proofreading department.

    @LabanGaia: "lede" is actually the proper spelling of that term in a journalistic context. it goes back to the days of the printing press in which internal newsroom communication (a chalkboard) didn't risk confusing the lead (you know the element Pb) with the lead for a story. So that's how lead became lede.

    Now you know - and knowing is half the battle.

    (i learned this from a journo prof. way back when and seldom have an occasion to tell people)

    Good lord. Just because this movie had a little emotional value, people slam it. It was funny. And there was character development. And it wasn't cliche. And it was nice to see Eric Bana and Seth Rogen play different roles than they normally do. I guess people would have preferred the typical comedy that we've all seen a thousand times. It's nice to see a movie that pushes the boundaries of its genre every once and a while

    You know, what? I loved it. And it's kind of sucks that this movie will probably be panned everywhere for being overly sentimental.

    Moviegoers prefer their Adam Sandler to be dumb and their Seth Rogen to be fat. They like it when their "funny" movies have a running time of less than 2 1/2 hours. Oh, and Judd? Next time you insist your main character has some fatal disease, be sure you cast an actor who is marginally likable. That way, the audience will root for him rather than the disease.

    Did anyone else notice a shift in the advertising for this movie in the last week? Any notion of seriousness and bromance disappeared in fave or dick jokes and lame riffs on Harry Potter and German accents.

    I haven't see the film, but it seems to belong to this baffling new comedy genre that's been in fashion for almost a decade that features plump, dumb guys as the heros. Trying to segue the plump, dumb guy into interesting dramatic characters appears to be a non-starter though, at least we can hope so.

    Whatever. Heigl is gorgeous. After all, it's only what you look like that's important (according to Hollyweird). Her head could be completely empty for all I care.
