    why do we keep giving this guy attention? part of the "punishment" for holding a woman captive and sexually assaulting her was to get sent to the slammer. now everytime it's halloween we get a check in with this asshole #crazies

    Inside Edition? Has the show been on all this time, ever since 1988 when I thought it was canceled for good?

    @skahammer: Yep, it's been on all this time. Here's what I didn't know. Bill O' Reilly was on until 1995 and was replaced by Deborah Norville. She's been there for 14 years. It's been on 20 years too long. #crazies

    Not sure why Inside Edition gets to make the determination of who's just plain harmless and who's most likely to gnaw on the hapless reporter's arm (Yes, someone please do this.) when they visit the jail for a little game of "Let's poke the inmate and see if he'll give us good TV."

    It's really sad that going by these standards, every dastardly, raping crazed loon should get his fifteen minutes and maybe have a cereal named after him, right? Or am I just saying that it's okay to make random maniacs dancing monkeys for everyone's "entertainment,"…even their victims’. Yeah. Nice to know their ordeal has been trivialized and their abuser is now a tabloid correspondent. #crazies

    @Spirit Fingers: It's weird, the one time I watched "To Catch a Predator" on NBC I felt empathy for the molesters. Don't get me wrong, I despise child molesters, but I got this sense of sadness for them. You have to be really fucked up yourself to want to rape or molest someone. Though I believe it is a crime that deserves hard time, I also don't wish to find entertainment in the prosecution of it, or the ramifications thereof.

    @pony_express: Er, I meant that Braunstein's victim's ordeal has been trivialized by the show, and that essentially Inside Edition is turning him into a tabloid correspondent, because why else have him appear, if not to hawk their flailing show as something reputable in the entertainment gossip show community, and not just something you watch because it follows Dr. Phil or whatever myriad of court shows that dominates the down-market 4pm to 7pm time slot? #crazies

    @Spirit Fingers: I understood your point about trivializing the victim's experience. I was just adding that I think exploitation is exploitation, none of this belongs on "entertainment" television. #crazies

    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?

    "Once a psycho, always a psycho."

    Well, that's subtle and objective. I didn't watch the video, as it took too long to load.

    It actually is more effective to allow the reader to reach certain conclusions instead of being pounded on the head with them.

    He's sick. The point is?

    And "co-worker's" takes an apostrophe.

    "This is just scary."
    "We can't even be scared."

    so... you want I should be scared, or not even be scared?

    based on what you wrote...both?

    Braunstein is a moron who is desperate for attention, and the Daily News is just using him (like everyone else did apparently) in order to get some attention for themselves.

    Unless he has some awesome scheme for breaking out of Dannemora and nuking the city, why should anyone be scared?

    It's pretty sad for the people who he victimized and continues to mention by name that people just won't ignore this sad sack.
