    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

    @Conchie Birdie: One might argue that it was the worst kind of political hackdom for him to bring them up expressly to show his "empathy" side and try to squeeze a tear out of his plastic-surgeryized eye slots. #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?

    Christmas, as a money transfer scheme, has been dead to me for years.

    It's not rocket science to say "I'm not spending money on office gifts for people I neither know nor like." Nor do you have to go bankrupt on buying a load of useless crap for relatives you hardly ever see.

    Last year, I had no money AT ALL. None. And I bought small gifts for maybe three important people, baked a lot of dirt cheap brown sugar pies for others and still got invited to Christmas dinner, the tree still lit up, snow still fell and I saved myself stressful trips to the local, soul crushing mall. It was nice. #thepoors

    Up here in the North there are no wage packet jobs for us
    Thank Christ
    While young married couples discuss the poverties
    Of their self-built traps
    And the junior clergy demand more cash
    We spit in their plate and wait for the ice to melt #thepoors

    Yes, please, let's cancel Christmas. If you want, feel free to go home and visit loved ones, but that holiday is a fucking monument to consumerism. I know that's such a "high school rebel with a conscience" thing to say, but it's true.

    If you're related to me, you're getting a homemade sock this year. Feel free to knit the other sock yourself. #thepoors

    @nozer: That is actually brilliant. Then I only have to knit six socks instead of twelve. OR I could have everyone pay homage to the memory of Michael Jackson with one glove apiece, san sequins. #thepoors

    @nozer: Has the Baby Jesus not suffered enough? You can be a Scrooge and call off Christmas, but for Jesus' sake, I'll just have to celebrate twice as hard. I'm gonna wear out my Home Alone DVD, gorge on Christmas cookies, and enjoy glad tidings of good beer. Consumerism never felt so warm and fuzzy. #thepoors
