I'd still say we'd be best off with a Platonic oligarchy of experts. The problem is such dictatorships tend to become corrupt and murdering... maybe a society ruled by a superintelligent AI will the answer? Elok?

Are you asking me about superintelligent AI, or suggesting I run society? If the former, I suggest turning to Lori, or to Loin if Lori gets an obvious boner from discussing it. If the latter, there's no way I'm desperate enough to take THAT job.Originally posted by Al B. Sure! View PostI'd still say we'd be best off with a Platonic oligarchy of experts.

Joe's big mouth was hardly a secret before he was initially picked for VP. And this is hardly the first dumb thing Biden has done. And I would think that forcing Biden off the ticket would be a bigger embarrassment to the administration than just keeping him locked up and doing damage control whenever they accidentally let him talk in public.Originally posted by Tupac Shakur View PostYa'll are ignoring the important issue here: what are Biden's chances of being on the ticket again after forcing Obama to make this announcement? I imagine they're not good; Obama can't be happy about Joe's big mouth potentially jeopardizing his re-election.If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

Has anyone ever changed vice presidents midstream like that? It seems pointless to me; Cheney's the only veep I know of whose job wasn't basically to wait until eight years were over and/or somebody killed the president.

He was probably just testing the waters.

Not so brave as you might think. Recent polling shows gay marriage is supported by a small majority of Americans, and a significant majority of Independents. It is a very savvy move, putting Romney on the spot and giving Obama an advantage with the political center."My nation is the world, and my religion is to do good." --Thomas Paine
