    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?

      If I can be one of the experts, I think you've got a great idea.

          Okay. People with postgraduate educations tend to vote Democratic anyway.

            Dick Cheney is awesome

            Kentonio knows nothing, but we already knew that.

              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.

                Ya'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.

                    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.

                      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.

                            I know it was the joke. Just trying to establish to kentonio that I don't hold it against dick cheney that he has a twitchy trigger finger.

                                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.
