    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?

    I visited Silverlake (Silver Lake?) recently and it disappointed the fuck out of me. Maybe I was in the wrong part, but there were like 2 hipsters and some kind of bohemian old lady stores. Maybe I'm too used to Vancouver, where they frolic in the open. L.A. hipsters seem to be more reclusive.

    @Varnsen: Homo L.A. Hipsterius has been outpriced outta Silver Lake, circa 2005, but the non-LA media may be a wee bit behind the curve. There still are a smattering public places where they congregate (the doggie park by the Silver Lake Reservoir is a goldmine, and so is Intelligentsia Café) but otherwise there's a way higher density of hipster douches and douchettes in Echo Park and Eagle Rock.

    PS: The correct way to spell + pronounce it is "Silver La-KEH," with faux-French accent on last syllable of "lake."

    I have to say that any contemporary artist that has "the eighties" as their subject is likely pandering to their audience's laziest impulses. Fine, fine: the recent past sure seems grotesque and weird and alienating these days--this was adequately established ages ago, THANKS.

    Also: Ryan Heffington, cut your hair, for fuck's sake.

    Umm, wow. That article makes me feel extra stabby. Glad to see I'm not the only one.
    As to aerobics? I sure did enjoy watching 'The :20 Minute Workout' as a lad in the early 1980s.

    @yetimike: One of the best rumours I ever read in a book was that some Saudi offered the girls in that show $10,000 for a weekend of sex. The agent thought they'd be horrified. Naive agent. They bargained the Saudi up to $20,000 APIECE and then went.
