    @daveyjonesisdead: Wrong post. You'll need to go back down the hall towards President Obama (you'll see him charming a fat turkey), and look for the first post on your left. Be careful - Martha Steward is helping Jack Torrance look for his son; it would be best to smile politely and scurry past.

    Great post, Pareene. Keep shining a light on the deceit and obfuscation.

    Sadly, it seems that Fox "News" (and the Republicans in general) are the Jedi masters of self-fulfilling prophecy.

    I suspect that the Republicans didn't want to attend an event that didn't feature copious amounts of MEAT.

    Though I must say I found the state dinner menu a lot like food porn, except with some spelling errors.

    @MisterHippity: One night a long time ago, I was wandering around campus, when I spotted an owl in a tree and a girl laying down looking up at it.

    Maybe because they were scheduled to perform a concert the next evening, I convinced myself that it was Stevie Nicks, so I laid down in the grass nearby hoping to make a dream come true.

    Neither of us said a word and eventually after maybe half an hour, she got up and floated away. To this day, I swear that it could've very easily been Ms. Nicks, but since I was tripping on acid at the time, I'll never know.

    This rumor is hardly new. Go look up a Chris Matthews interview on Charlie Rose from a few months back where he says the same thing.

    No way to gracefully drop Biden from the ticket (the VP selection being a president's first and most important decision).
    Except maybe through a job swap with Hillary. Hmmmm. I could see that.
    (Though I don't believe that anything being said about Obama 2012's ticket in Nov. 2009.)

    @ms_priestypants: He is a little unpredictable, isn't he. Yet wasn't his name high on the list of SecState candidates being bandied about last year? Even as VP he was hailed for his foreign policy experience.

    @naugahydeinplainsight: Mrs. Biden let it slip that Obama offered Joe his choice of SoS or VP, with whichever one he didn't pick going to Hillary. So a 2012 (or sooner?) switcheroo is entirely conceivable, seeing as Barry considers them both qualified for either job.

    @ms_priestypants: Having filled both their prospective roles, Clinton has, thus far, made more gaffes than Biden.

    And Biden, believe it or not, has been rumored to be the most dovish member of the new administration. I would welcome the switch (that is not going to happen).

    Is Hillary considered "incredibly popular" because of all the nice things Sarah Palin has been saying about her on Fox?
