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
@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? #joebiden
so why is VH1 pulling the plug on all of the shows he's involved in? Is there anything morally wrong with showing pre-recorded footage of someone who is an alleged murderer? What, they have standards?
a tad confused on the missing teeth and fingertips. um... i know that's what is commonly used to identify bodies, but only if they're pretty well decayed. doesn't help if you just leave it in a dumpster. a D- for body disposal technique.
... and that's what you get VH1 for recruiting for a show called "I love money".
@fuzzymuffins: It's a side-effect of folks who watch too muchLaw & Order and CSI. Suddenly armchair psychos think they know the "secrets" of how to get away with things.
This is the dirty underbelly of the fameball-reality TV game. People whose sense of the world around them and their place in it is so perpetually frustrated and so narcissistic and skewed that it is literally all about them, and everyone else is expendable.
@BookishLookish: Patience is so difficult for people today. For me, the journey is as important as the destination. Yes, the catch is beautiful, the control, the mastery, the money...
But sitting here drinking my appletini, reading your posts, learning your routines, slowly badgering my way back into your life, these are the real joys of my existence. Of course, I love the thrill of the hunt, catching your eye, winning your affection all over again, the personal take down. Watching you slowly lose control over your own life as you surrender yourself to me all over again, nothing beats it.

WeepyVP JoeEither 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

Well said.
It's not quite The Running Man, where the carnage is broadcast, but we can see it from here.
