I have a long history with Candidate Joe Biden.
I didn’t know much about him until the end of his first run for President in 1988, when he decided to lift a section of a British politician’s speech without using the words “quote” or “unquote”.
I thought (quote), “Plagarist.” And I wrote him off.
In ‘91, during the Anita Hill hearings, Mom told me she wasn’t watching the hearings because “I can’t stand looking at Joe Biden’s hairplugs.”
I immediately ran to the TV, expecting to see the scalp version of this:
So when he ran again in 2008, I thought, “Oh, the plagiarist with hairplugs.” And after that run failed, Barack Obama picked him as Vice President, and I thought, “I like Obama, so I guess I’ll give the Hairplugged Plagiarist a pass.”
Of course, now we’ve had a dozen years of him in the spotlight. I love him now, because we both cannot keep the thoughts inside our mouths.
Yet even if Biden had never been Vice President, I’m pretty sure that if Trump was the other choice I’d still be all in for President Word-Pirate Baldy McBiden.

Yes, Biden is at least recognizably human. The contrast with Trump makes a lot of difference.
Did you catch Kimberly Guilford’s speech last night? Yikes! Talk about raving maniacs! She seems just perfect for Donny Jr.
This is definitely a weird election year. I hope things get… a lot better… from here, in a lot of ways.
Arlene – you know, I didn’t see the shouting woman “� I think it was because I was watching MSNBC and they might have been doing some fact-checking while she was speaking. I saw it all later, though. Yikes.
KC – it is the weirdest year I have ever lived through.
