Terrific as always, I'm glad to have followed you here from LI.

I thought you might get a kick out of this article:

I'm considering how best to ask an LI Q&A on it right now...

Cheers,

I'm passing this blog to all I know! Prediction:
Kevin gains celebrity status and this becomes THE blog. (and I will say I met him "when")...

Wow, Kevin-- my daughter was asked who she was going to vote for in one of her college classes, and when she said "McCain", she was called a racist. I was called a racist today, by a man on the Sarah Palin board who was angry that I questioned the motives behind Colin Powell's ninth hour support of Barack Obama. I don't have a racist bone in my body, nor do my husband or children-- we have many friends from all walks of life, and it has not sat well with me, to see the race card being played, whenever anyone has the guts to question anything about Barack Obama. Apparently, because of his race, he feels he should be immune to the normal scrutiny that any candidate for the office of President of the United States should expect. They certainly have put Sarah Palin through the electron microscope--and that upstart, Joe the Plumber, who asked an honest, forthright question of the Messiah, while standing in his OWN yard, playing with his son. It is not like he did the seeking out of Obama-- Obama asked for it, and he got it, an honest question-- and he gave an honest answer, but TOO honest-- this is his REAL intention, to "spread the wealth" the way HE wants to see it spread-- what happened to a government of the people, by the people, and for the people-- ALL the people? . And now, poor Joe has his life being torn apart by Obama's storm troopers. Be aware, America-- this will be YOU, if you have the temerity to question ANYTHING that happens, if Obama gets into office! Do we really want to lose our Freedom of Speech, and live in constant fear, in our own homes?

I have known and had the honor of calling my friends-- African Americans, Oneida Indians, various white people- you know, Dutch, French, Swiss, Irish--Chinese, Indians, Nepalese, Japanese, Mexicans, Germans, Lebanese, Armenians... the list goes on and on- I work in a field that allows me to work globally, with many professionals of all races, creeds and colors. Of these, every ONE of them has more honesty, integrity, discernment, morals, values, and patriotism toward this country, its people and its flag, than Barack Obama-- any one of them would make a better president.

what is it about obama that makes you trust him ?

i get the used car sales men vibe from his speches and biden is just a rich
prick. we need to stop paying 3rd world countrys all of our hard earend taxed dollars and get this country off the oil we are more than capable to be running solar wind water and electric / hydrogen powered or natural fuel vehicles and we would if the suites would allow our countrys best and brigtest to do so. we have to much government control and not enough for sight for what the american people want. power grid failure and colaps of infrastructure is more apparent these days look at what ike did to texas recenly all it would take is a major trial and bam anarchy. just my take on this post keep up the excelent work.

Wait a minute! There are “Black Only” cocktail parties?

And now I know the "real" reason why Biden was chosen! :)

Thanks, as always for your insights Kevin, AKA theblacksphere.
I really enjoyed this "rant" and actually laughed out loud a couple of times while reading it.

FTA: "At some point we have all wondered why in the world would Obama select a de facto knucklehead like Joe Biden as his VP?"

Kevin is that any way to treat knuckleheads? Is it their fault Biden is a member? :-)

The best BIDEN GAFFE has to be this one:

"Three letters folks...J-O-B-S". Someone failed to mention to Biden before he opened his mouth, jobs has 4 letters. Details, details, details! Thanks for posting! :-)

Biden's best gaffe was being caught on tape shouting at a supporter about how bad coal is and that there is no such thing as clean coal technology. I still can't believe this dufus will be the VP. Thanks for the rant Kevin, Biden makes us look like uneducated under medicated bufoons. I certainly can hear the world laughing.

Kevin,

I loved this article. IMHO Joe Biden is the smartest idiot one could ever meet. It amazes me that even after his comments about "getting America out of the rutt" and "it's time to be patriotic" in reference to paying more taxes that this pair was elected? My best friends neighbor voted for Obama without having any idea what he stood for. His reason was "the Democrats are for the little people". I tried to educate him on how things really work but his mind is so closed all he knows is you walk into the voting both and pull the lever for the Deomcrat party. This is what we are up against as conservatives... You are a great American! Keep up the great work.

"So Obama uses Biden as his public lab rat, performing a "Reverse Dr. Shockley” experiment on America, called The Biden Experiment. The Biden Experiment intentionally “dumbs down” Biden publicly, thus making Obama appear to be more brilliant than he really is. And all Obama has to do let Biden out of his cage for the experiment to work."

So it's sort of like "Pinky and The Brain", but without the BRAIN part of the duo.

@Abe - Too funny! But you must admit, this theory of mine makes sense!

Yep. The Biden Experiment has indeed paid off, too.

With Plugs Biden as second in line and Nasty Pelousy as third, Dear Leader has the best two-ply life insurance policy in the world.

Very good analysis Kevin, I had not looked at it that way before. I have to admit as out there as it may seem it makes sense at the same time. right now n e thing is possible.
What slays me is that he (Obama) makes so many mistakes himself on a much grander level one wonders if they need him to keep the heat of the prez, everytime the O messes up out comes biden to make sum dumb remark i.e. 3 letter word J O B S lord help us.
No one will even try to hurt this president they don't wan't Biden to replace him.

nice post...
