    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?

    Damon Albarn's fascination with all things Pavement is what I credit with making his own band suck salty British balls following the amazing "Modern Life is Rubbish."

    Blah blah blah, you know you liked Blur in the 90s, you know you still wear Fred Perrys and Sambas and you know I'm right.

    @kolacek: Well, to be fair, I don't think we can blame Pavement for Blur's decline into suckage. It took two albums after Modern Life Is Rubbish for the Malkmus fetish to truly kick in, and one those was the dreadful Great Escape, the biggest turd they laid until 13.

    But I agree, MLIR is underappreciated... and rules.

    SHUT UP, ALL POSEUR MUSIC SNOBS. SHUT THE FUCK UP RIGHT NOW. DON'T SAY SHIT ELSE. NO ONE IS GOING TO THINK YOU'RE COOL OR WANT TO SLEEP WITH YOU BASED ON YOUR SNOTTY CRITIQUES.

    Okay. Thanks for letting me get that out of my system.

    That stands a good chance of getting some of my entertainment dollars, since "Cut Your Hair" and "Range Life" are in heavy rotation on my iPod.

    In reply to The Ghost of New York Nightlife Past
    In 1983, EddieTheDane was a 17 year old, high school senior living at home on the island of Manhattan, the youngest of 3 children born of distracted parents. If you look closely, you might even be able to spot him in the $5, dark green, Cheap Jack's sharkskin blazer and Astor Place high/low, sniffling in the background, diving away from the glare of the camera, looking for the pyramid paper he is certain he dropped on the way to the bathroom.

    Sadly, that time, just like that bindle, is lost forever.

    @EddieTheDane: In 1983, BookishLookish was a 17-year-old high school senior living at home in the suburbs of Manhattan, the middle of 3 children of distracted parents. If you look closely, you might even be able to spot her in the black motorcycle jacket (bought at the Leather Warehouse--broken zipper at cuff, deep discount), black-and-blonde two-tone hair, a pink and white Juicy Juice promotional T-shirt, a short black skirt, black fishnets and a pair of black go-go boots from the '60s bought off the street on St. Mark's (hondled down to $20 from $35), trying to cadge a free drink off Fisher Stevens and Matt Dillon while hanging out on the third floor of Danceteria (aka Dancebacteria!).
