The Affordable Care Act that Joe Biden referred to as “a big you-know-what deal” has turned out to be a toweringly stupid scheme. It was not only a Brobdingnagian undertaking; It was stupid. Really, really stupid. It was stupid because government-run health care is unnatural to a free people. Doctors, hospitals, ambulance services, and insurance companies are having to change the very way they do business for their customers. And the only reason that all of these free-enterprise agents are adapting to decreased efficiency is out of respect for law. There is no right way to implement Obamacare. In the...

While speaking on a conference call to Catholic clergy members on Tuesday, Vice President Joe Biden inexplicably uttered unsuitable language while referring to a US Congressman. Reacting to the assertion that Steve King (R-Iowa) made regarding illegal immigrants carrying drugs across the US southern border, Biden condescended, “He may be a good Christian, but his comments sure the hell aren’t, excuse my language.” Prone to making these types of faux pas (remember "This is a big f------ deal"), the Vice President’s comments seem even more inappropriate given his audience. Additionally, Biden fears that immigration reform may be defeated as was...

It’s impossible to say how or why these people got so misguided, but the result is absolutely hilarious. These are the dumbest things that have happened in the history of man and, although it’s funny, it could make anyone lose their faith in humanity.

Just minutes after the election returns arrived in Boston Tuesday night, Martin Walsh’s cellphone rang. It was the vice president of the United States, Joseph R. Biden, offering his congratulations. “You son of a gun, Marty!” he thundered. “You did it!” The only problem was, it was the wrong Marty Walsh. Biden had called the cellphone of Marty Walsh, a former aide to US Senator Edward M. Kennedy who is now the president of Gateway Public Solutions, a government relations firm in Boston. At the time, this Marty Walsh said, he was sitting on the couch with his wife at...

U.S. President Barack Obama never considered the idea of dropping Vice President Joe Biden from his 2012 re-election team and replacing him with Hillary Clinton, the White House said on Friday. “Double Down,” a new book on the 2012 campaign, says Obama’s top aides considered the notion but decided not to pursue it because it did not materially improve Obama’s odds.

Vice President Joe Biden joined the president and Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius in apologizing for the Obamacare enrollment site, saying he and President Barack Obama are not “technology geeks.” “Neither he and I are technology geeks, and we assumed that it was up and ready to run,” Biden said in an interview with HLN on Wednesday. …

DUBAI/VIENNA -- Iran on Sunday rejected the West's demand to send sensitive nuclear material out of the country but signaled flexibility on other aspects of its atomic activities that worry world powers, ahead of renewed negotiations this week.

DES MOINES, Iowa — Vice President Joe Biden is heading into the belly of Democrats' anti-war opposition, venturing into a politically influential heartland state for the first time since President Barack Obama publicly endorsed a possible military strike on Syria. Biden is scheduled to headline a fundraiser in Iowa Sunday for Democratic Sen. Tom Harkin, an annual steak picnic for the senator who is popular with anti-war Democrats.

Vice President Joe Biden said Repulican opposition to the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) in the House of Representatives came from the "Neanderthal crowd." And he gave himself credit for coming up with the law almost 20 years ago. "Packed into the front room of the Vice President's residence just before 7pm, Biden spoke for about half an hour to the crowd of several dozen people, most of whom played a role in making VAWA a reality. The room was full of chatter as Biden was standing at the mic waiting to talk, so he turned around and let out...

Anyone else notice the recent picture of Joe Biden standing next to Obama. I sure thought he again looked an awful lot like Jeff Dunham's puppet Walter.

It's not easy supporting the Vice President and his unctuous, nauseating partisan persona but under the circumstances we must put political considerations, personal feelings aside, to rally around him in his urgent time of need, wishing him, his son all our very best, pray for a full, speedy recovery. The Vice President has known severe tragedy having lost his wife, one year old daughter in a car crash in a collision with a tractor-trailer in 1972.
