"If we don't get a grip, folks..."
Ah, that ol' Joe Biden. He knows how to get a grip all right.
See?

Speaking about the need for high-speed rail, Vice President Joe Biden commented that, "If we don't get a grip, folks, they'll not only be teaching us, they're gonna own our kids."
What?
If I'd known that all it required to own someone's kids was to discourage him from supporting high-speed rail, I would be beating Angelina Jolie right now in the people's-kids-owning-game.
Leaving aside the numerous objections to high-speed rail, this seems like an odd thing to say under any circumstances. I understand that this makes it characteristic of Joe Biden. I think the most impossible quiz in the world would be something called, "Joe Biden Quote Or Something An Old Guy In a Sweater Says To You To Make Conversation At The Gas Pump." It's sort of a mouthful, but I think most of his remarks pass the test.
"I had a successful dump!"
"You cannot go to a 7-11 or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent....I'm not joking." (Something Biden actually said to an Indian-American man that was caught by C-SPAN)
"Big [verbing] deal!"
And now this one. Fail to get a grip, and they'll own our kids.
Things look pretty bleak for our kids, based on the remarks our public officials have been making. They are, apparently, going to be outsmarted, outcompeted, out-Sputniked, outparented, owned, transformed into robot slaves, outsourced, and forced to appear on the NBC comedy "Outsourced," all by people from another country who are marching back and forth doing calculus in the snow, or something.

See?
I am serious. The only angle that could get this much pressure on them is minorities or Unions. Is there a Union angle?
I had not thought of Bong Water. I was thinking maybe a bad batch of Acid. Or spiked Starbucks Coffee.
Joe Biden must be using the out-of-date meds again.
He certainly is good for a laugh, tho.
Someday, someone will write a book that is nothing but Joe Biden quotes & make a mint. Bathroom joke reading at it’s best.
High speed rail prevents slavery. Um...okay.
and you can fill your car with SAUDI petrodollars?
Vice President Joe Biden commented that, "If we don't get a grip, folks, they'll not only be teaching us, they're gonna own our kids."What?
What? This is what....
If you look up STOO-PID™ in the dictionary you'll see Biden's picture.
(I'd be surprised if he could put his socks on in the morning without help.)
The looks on those faces are priceless. Definitely the fat guy who BiteMe is molesting, but also the guy sitting behind the fat guy to the right of the picture!
“Not WHAT
WHO ???”
The countries that did “get a grip,” i.e., the ones spending money on high-speed rail.
Historians, philosophers, sociologists, anthropologists, archaeologists, political scientists, and thinkers of all kinds have long debated what makes Civilizations great. They’ve covered attributes from language to technology to religion, politics, and economy. Geography has long been a favorite, for instance proximity to rivers and coasts. Leave it to Biden to unlock the ultimate key to power: high-speed rail. That’s it: mass transit systems (which nobody use).
Biden, anyone with a room temp IQ owns you.
Did you know that if you go to McMaster.com (McMaster-Carr) you can buy a train derailer for $550 bucks still to this day?
I ran across it while I was ordering some stuff and about fell out of my chair when I clicked on it yesterday. I would think you would need an FBI background check to buy one of those things, but I guess not.
The kid was sooooooo poor growing up he never had one of THESE:
So now he wants to play Engineer.
The jobs would all be unionized, as they are in current rail business, but the issue I think runs deeper. Liberals are control freaks. They don't like seeing individuals driving wherever they want, whenever they want, scattered and bunched along thousands of miles of roadway. It is messy. It is not neat. It is inefficient, this freedom business. It is out of control. Unacceptible.
They want a giant ant farm.
What a great country and land of oppurtunity. A place where a complete moron can become VPOTUS.
Saudis? Labor unions? Mass transit? They're all evil, just different shades of looters.
Sarah Palin has the proven solution:
Can you imagine a train hitting that at 200mph?
