    In reply to Robert Byrd Is the Longest-Serving Senator Ever
    On the news this morning, the teaser for this bit of news referred to him reaching a "special milestone." I thought they were going to say he walked without crushes! I was going to do a dance in his honor.

    Is it coincidence or strange and inevitable fate that Sen. Byrd should, in his old age, begin to look like the very creature for which he is, sorta, named?

    At least Strom tried to bridge the racial divide.

    Granted, the bridge was his penis.

    @Taren: He, of all people, should have done something about it then. WV dog fighting laws rank 46th out of 5o states in severity, according to this:
    [www.humanesociety.org]

    This is as of two weeks ago. Michael Vick was convicted in August, 2007. He's a racist.

    @son of spam:

    He's the senator from W. Virginia, not the governor. He doesn't have the power to make or change their laws. As a senator, he can only vote for federal laws and if any that deal with dog fighting manage to reach the senate, then we'll see what he really thinks. Also, declaring that one black man should get the death penalty does not a racist make.

    Of course I do. I also know that Sen. Byrd has spent decades making up for past wrongs. He's apologized and his voting record has, in my opinion, made up for that. If that's not good enough for you, then that's your opinion.

    Since he's a Democrat, he gets the benefit of the doubt that he's "probably still an old racist, but the sort of old racist who knows it is not acceptable to be racist anymore."

    In reply to Nobody Loves Weepy VP Joe
    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

    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: 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?
