So Joe Biden it is for Obama's vice-presidential pick. Biden, the bloviator, and man of a thousand words. Uhhhh, make that 50,000 words. He's abridged his acceptance speech from his hoped-for presidential acceptance speech of 200,000 words.
Uhhhh, that would be one day or evening when I'd definitely want to be anyhere else. 50,000 words comes to 416.6 minutes at the conversation speaking rate of 120 words per minutes. Divide that by 60 and you get 6.94 hours. But then, you have to add in at least a hundred hoped-for standing ovations. That would bring his time at the podium to about 7 1/2 hours.
Used to be that a good mystery would be about 60,000 words. Here's hoping the Bloviator will have someone else edit his speech down to listening size. I mean, many pastors operate under the truism of "No souls saved after 20 minutes."
And that's about it for the big news of the day/night. I know some of you count on me for these little newsicals so I opened this "emergency article" on a Saturday.
Now comes the real mudslinging.
In the days to come you're going to hear a lot about William Ayres, the co-founder of Weather Underground. Remember them from those anarchist days of yore in the late sixties? He met and married fellow anarchist Bernadette Dohrn and they fell in love and got married. He's now teaching at the University of Illinois at Chicago. (She's operating some children's program at Northwestern University.) When he was asked about his Underground days when his group of radicals were focusing on blowing things up, he says "I didn't do enough." (watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZ52cE1OwH8&NR=1)
But old friends and neighbors don't seem to be Obama's biggest problem right now. There's a mad dash to the deadline here with an attorney, Philip J. Berg, making the claim that Obama was actually born in Kenya. That would make him ineligible to serve as president of the United States. (read more: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2066624/posts)
Just wondering. If that's true, can he even be a U.S. Senator? Legallly? Or is he an illegal alien?
But back to the story of where Obama was born. Rumors abound. There are two hospitals in Hawaii that are listed as his birth place. Truth is, Obama's birth certificate/s are carefully guarded secrets. He did put one of them up on his web site but there's been lots and lots of speculation about whether they are real or forged.
So, if Obama is declared ineligible, just keep in mind that Hillary didn't really call her campaign quits. She only suspended her campaign. She'd end up being the candidate. Or would she? Biden used to be a candidate, but he did call it quits. But if he gets the nomination for vice-president and Obama becomes ineligible, that would put the Democratic National Convention in a real pickle, wouldn't it?
And who is this Philip Berg anyway? Maybe a friend of Hillary's? The perfect timing practically on the eve of the convention for his suit against Obama's eligiblity just sounds so superbly Clintonesque.

This is going to be gooood. Man, I hope the Repubs milk this gift for everything it’s worth!
Biden = typical far left limosine liberal.
All BS, no substance.

They mirror each other, don’t you think?

Best description heard on the radio this morning.

Isn’t this a GIFT!!?? I couldn’t stop laughing! Talk about an endless comedic opportunity...
My weekend is made!
Gift is not the word for it. It’s all the packages under the tree in one big bag!
Why in the world would any ratinal candidate pick someone who has already run and lost two presidential candidacies? I mean, if someone can’t even make it out of the primaries, what possible strength could they bring to a ticket that’s already plummeting?
And since Berg’s lawsuit seems to be an August surprise, will there be September and October surprises?
Only in America.
I agree with you completely — it’s time for Americans to wake up. Apathy will defeat us, not big-winded politicians who bleed the wealth off this country — they come into office with little more than a dime to their name and not too long after, next thing you know, they are living in huge multi-milliong compounds.
But it isn’t just the money they gleaning from some magic fairy dust. They’re stealing the ideals of this country and holding Lady Justice hostage with their maneuverings.
He already marginalized America's Indian immigrants as a bunch of 7-11 and Dunkin Donuts employees.
I have friends who are from India, and they are very dedicated students.
I really hope that Biden and Obama lose BIG time come November.
Love your biography page. Prayers lifted for your loved ones.
