    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?

    Rachel was an unashamed shill for the Clinton campaign during the Democratic primaries, smearing HuffPo with bullshit praise for the Hill and near-slanders against Obama. She can't get over the fact that Hillary lost.

    Does that have anything to do with the question? That depends on whether you have a "Still Pissed at Hillary" bumper sticker or not...

    Either way, the best way to deal with Rachel Sklar is to simply ignore her (except when she's your waitress).

    @oldgraygeek: Your "unashamed shill" is just a perjorative way of saying she didn't agree with you. What did she have to be ashamed about? HuffPo needed a little bit of balance at that point, it was an Obama lovefest at that point, Rachel just got grief for departing from the party line.

    There are a lot of people who don't agree with me, but they write honest reality-based commentary.

    Rachel is an unvarnished flack, worthy of an anchor spot on Faux News.

    Hey Foster, you chose the wrong Georgia O'Keefe painting to illustrate this. She made many vaginal paintings, but that's not one of them.

    Is Rachel's Megan Fox obsession an extension of her vagina obsession? Last night, she twittered that she missed Jenny Slate's F-Bomb on "SNL," to which I responded with something like "That's what happens when you don't focus on anyone besides Megan Fox." She was quick to correct me via DM, however. (BTW -- this comment, like my original one to Rachel, is all in good fun.)

    Why do all weapons (ie: guns, bullets, billy clubs...) look like penises?

    And why do all pastries (ie: doughnuts, bagels, danishes...), look like vaginas?

    And why do cops who carry weapons always eating doughnuts.

    The more you know.

    This post was going okay until you tried to shoehorn that video in. Clearly that video belongs in a post with the infamous Rack Tazer, because you'd be 2/3rds of the way to an Allen Salkin piece.
