    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

    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?

    In reply to Even More Depressing 'Sex and the City' Sequel Coming
    The most preposterous thing about the first movie was the way they tortured Carrie so needlessly. He stands her up at the altar, she takes like 2 years to move on with her life, and then suddenly everything's okay again? (Sorry, spoiler.) It felt like the entire series "condensed" into 2.5 hours and revealed the weird masochistic undertones of the whole show. Now they've backed themselves into a corner; if there's more "Big trouble" it'll feel like a retread. If the conflict is just having and dealing with a kid or something, it'll be boring. Get yourself out of that one, Michael Patrick King.


    I know, I've thought about this way too much. I watched the first one while home sick on Dayquil.

    @PikaDar❂Queen of the Tamagotchi: It means you'll never get to find out if you're a Carrie, a Melinda, a whats-her-name brunette, or some PR blonde lady named Sam. Because of this, you'll have no way to introduce yourself when you meet SATC fans and they say "OMG! I"m so totally a ___".

    This installment is going to reboot the franchise. Gotham is much darker and more brooding, main characters die, there is no "Robin" and when Samantha takes it in the shitter the resulting mess ruins a $12,000 couch - and there are closeups of the whole thing from the jokes about the meatpacking district all the way to the grunting, sad denouement.

    Oh god no, this is a really bad idea! Every year in real life is like 5 years on a lady-over-40's skin! That movie won't get made for at least 3 years, and by that time, those ladies are gonna look a hot mess on the big screen, especially that horsie one. *shudder*

    This will be a relief for those people who cannot understand plot unless it's explained in voiceover. I can imagine they feel somewhat cheated and confused when searching for entertainments.
