And we all know what that means…… Joe Biden heads back to his hotel room, cracks open a beer, talks with his advisors-and then, when the rest of the herd is gone, our boy Joe takes a long draw on his beer…………. And thinks about what he wishes he could

It was just too nice outside to be THAT concerned about the financial mess. Today was one of those beautiful fall days. Not a cloud in the sky, temperature was really nice, the S.O.’s car purred like a cat on the way to work. Had the sunroof open and Ted

My Canadian counterpart has a word for you: If you’re an American citizen reading this, and roughly seven out of ten you are, this is a week for unmitigated fucking panic. And you really should be scared. You are, to put it politely, utterly screwed. You’re fucked in ways that neither
