When Barack Obama selected Joe Biden as his running mate almost four years ago, he did so knowing Biden was notoriously volatile when it came to predicting what would spill out of his mouth. Well, while the president was probably lacing up for some golf this Sunday morning, Biden came out for same-sex marriage equality on Meet The Press.

Cold refreshment is a big fucking deal.

Sick of the never-ending coverage en route to the 2012 presidential election? Wish you could just drink yourself to sleep and wake up when it's all over? The Obama 2012 campaign store is here to help. Their online shop is selling a Joe Biden beer koozie to keep your hands warm, your beer cool, and your hope alive. The product description says it's for use with soda cans, but we all know Biden wasn't drinking Diet Dr. Peppers to pass the time on those Amtrak rides from Wilmington.

Yesterday, the New York Post ran a story saying that former New York GOP head William Powers is certain President Obama will ask Governor Andrew Cuomo to be his vice presidential candidate for the 2012 elections. "I don't think there's any doubt Obama is going to pick him as his running mate," Powers told the paper. The move makes sense, Powers insists, because "Andrew had a fabulous session. It was fabulous. A property-tax cap, ethics reform and, for Democrats, gay marriage."

​The government was this close to shutting down last night but managed to reach an eleventh-hour (literally) compromise before the midnight deadline. House Speaker John "Smarmy" Boehner presented the laundry list of spending cuts and revisions and got Congress' positive response just before 11 p.m. What does this mean? It means that our government is still functioning -- for now -- and it means $38.5 billion in spending cuts. More >>

Yahoo! Answers, tough questions

Yahoo! Answers ranks barely above YouTube comments as the saddest, scummiest place for bizarre questions and offensive anonymous responses on the mainstream internet. So it's a bit strange, but not exactly surprising that President Barack takes to YouTube to connect with the people and "win the future" or whatever, and then people just ask him about pot. Vice President Joe Biden, meanwhile, gets stuck with Yahoo! Answers for some reason, where he will answer questions throughout the week about last night's State of the Union. Surprise: the questions are not very good!

It must be tough to operate in the shadow of the ever-cool Obama. Vice President Joe Biden is cut from a different cloth -- and cut sloppily -- where gaffes are to be expected and have become mostly endearing. "If there were no gaffes, there'd be no Joe," said Lindsey Graham. No big fuckin' deal, right? Except sometimes when you done goofed, there are consequences. This time for Biden, it's fines to the tune of $200k.

Joe Biden dropped by the Brooklyn Bridge today to tell Manhattanites -- yes, they did it from the Manhattan side --what a big (fucking) deal it is that the federal government shelled out $30M from the Economic Recovery Act to help repair the Brooklyn Bridge, a project that New York City is spending $286M on. What'd he have to say to the gathered crowd? That our bridge must be mentioned in the same sentence as...San Fransisco.

Hundreds of speechwriters and their respective presidents have graced the White House generation after generation, looking to leave their indelible mark on history with a quote capturing the moment for ages to come. Joe Biden, the 47th American Vice President, has finally left his mark.

Joe Biden was the headline speaker at the Radio and Television Correspondents Association dinner last night. And by "spoke," one means "delivered a routine," as tradition for these dinners dictates. Unfortunately, in this case, "delivered a routine" means "bombed," which Biden did. A few of the jokes were decent, a few did okay, but most fell fairly flat. Especially the second joke about Scott Brown. Yet, it produced a pretty priceless, split-second moment for anybody watching at home.
