    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?

    Was mostly with you until I saw Eminem is apparently "Alt," and that Oprah combining forces with chicken is apparently more mainstream that Oprah combining forces with Jim Carrey's ex-Playmate girlfriend.

    @semiserious: Then again, I guess future hipster boys felt that wacking off to Jenny McCarthy "authentic" than wacking off to Pam Anderson when they were young, because Jenny McCarthy had that weird show on MTV with puppets while their dads got drunk on the recliner and fondled them self through their afterwork pants when Pam was on Baywatch.

    I'm sorry, but I just can't forgive Silda for apparently forgiving him. I know stuff like this happens in lots of marriages. In fact, one of the ex-Mrs. Crabtrees forgave me for a similar indiscretion, but at least there was no public humiliation involved. Silda is a charming, intelligent, serious woman, and to abase herself by "standing by her man" is just so wrong for her. Like Elizabeth Edwards, she becomes more of an enabler if not a cohort in her husband's behavior. For a while I figured she was just waiting for her father-in-law to die so she could go for the really big bucks in the divorce, but the money's just not worth it. What are your daughters learning from this, Silda?

    @Mama Penguino: A fair shot, I admit. In my defense, though, let me say that my marriage to the first ex-Mrs. Crabtree was a youthful indiscretion -- hers, not mine. I was a relatively unattractive, lonely but moderately charming guy, she was sweet, beautiful, one of my best friends from college -- and a closeted lesbian. We were coming up on our second anniversary when she said she couldn't live the lie any longer. The divorce was amicable, and we remained great friends until her death from cancer a few years ago. In fact, it was the (totally innocent) time I spent with her while she was dying that was the last straw with the second ex-Mrs. Crabtree.


    Sorry to overshare, but among the many, many reasons for thinking I'm an asshole, my having two ex-wives is not one of them.

    @Mama Penguino: No apologies necessary. If you just called me a jerk without giving a reason, I'd pretty much have to agree with you, but you made the common error of being too specific. And besides, being judgmental and dishing out snotty one-liners is pretty much what thinking people live for, and we've got no business dishing them out if we can't take them.


    But it's sweet of you to apologize. Thanks for that.
