    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?

    In reply to AP: British Can't Handle a Little Snow
    Down in Hot-lanta when it snows (typically 1-3 inches), everyone runs to the store and buys all the milk and bread and the schools are closed. I know how to drive in snow, but it's not like my boss knows that.
    Also the local channel camps out under all the overpasses and then plays video with a flashing nuclear danger symbol of cars sliding around. I don't like to miss that.

    Note to all: where I live, we had a foot of snow a couple of days ago. To go with the foot of snow we had a week before that.

    @PikaDar❂Queen of the Tamagotchi: Eh whatever. Everybody who has to deal with that shit knows you use whatever gets the job done.


    Although I will say, you aren't living in a good wintry part of the world until you have one of those crazy sharp, flat steel spade tools for smashing and scraping driveway ice. The one that looks like a kung fu weapon from a 60s movie?


    Also, no one will ever know the absolute joy when you use one of those suckers, get under a big ice piece and just crack open like a meter of ice... So satisfying.

    Oh please. The same thing happened in Portland this year. A friend of mine lives there and says they were so unprepared for the snow every business shut down but the bars for four days.

    Also, apparently it's against the law there to salt the ground because it's bad for the environment. She told me a very funny story that involved stepping of a bus, ice, and her ass.

    I'm in London and school was cancelled for the first time in 18 years or something like that. It was so fun. My kids and I played in the snow all day. No one was really freaking out that badly. The grocery stores were full of food and by 6pm it was all melting. The problem is they own no snowplows here!

    @Flabby: Yep, work was cancelled for me. We went down to the South Bank and pottered about by the river. I got attacked by teenagers with snowballs twice today - get them back to school!


    Seriously, how bad are we at snow??!?

    It's a fantastic time to commit a crime in London. Seriously. At this moment immigrant teenagers in White Chapel are throwing snowballs (and threats) at hipster passersby as though there were berka-less heathens. It's sort of funny, except that if you're reading this, you fit their description of "hipster."

    @Oy Veh (Informality Reigns): I'm sure the snow-ballers would be happy to debate the differences between hipsters vs muscle boy fags. Just don't be surprised if their closing argument is a sharp icicle in the eye.


    The Islington boys sound like gentlemen compared to the absolute bastards between Valance Road and Brick Lane who seemingly prefer bombarding women.

    @wholenuther: What can I say? They gentrified a little earlier than the Hackney boys. But still! In the boob! It was at close quarters; they aimed.


    There were some nasties having a huge snowfight on the South Bank - between the BFI and NFT - and they attacked everyone who walked past too, including a terrified family of Japanese tourists, bless 'em.
