Biden having to drop out of the 2008 election right after calling Barack "so well spoken and clean" or something to that effect and the whole world going :thunk:

"I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy—I mean, that's a storybook, man."




i didn't remember this, but it was in the wiki article right underneath that quote:

"In an unusual move, Biden shared campaign planes with one of his rivals for the nomination, Senator Chris Dodd of Connecticut. Dodd and Biden were friends and seeking to save funds during somewhat long-shot efforts at the nomination."


e:

In the first contest on January 3, 2008, Biden placed fifth in the Iowa caucuses, garnering slightly less than one percent of the state delegates.[190] He withdrew from the race that evening, saying, "There is nothing sad about tonight. ... I feel no regret."


(earlier in the wiki article)

On August 27, 1966, while enrolled as a student at the Syracuse University College of Law, Biden married Neilia Hunter.....He told her he aimed to become a senator by the age of 30 and then president.

You’ve got to include the colloquial filler.

“I mean, you got the first, sorta, mainstream African‐American, who is articulate and bright and and and clean and nice‐looking guy—I mean, that’s a storybook, man.”

In Shooting War, it's 2011 and John McCain is President...

CNET article posted:

Back in 2006 it seemed unlikely that John McCain would earn the Republican nomination for President of the United States, but when journalist Anthony Lappeand artist Dan Goldman set out to create a near-future world for their graphic novel Shooting War they decided to imagine just what a McCain Presidency might look like in 2011 and their forecast is dark with more than a few scattered showers.

The sentence "I like not to eat the crust" is such a window into the mind of the average American. To actively enjoy not eating a part of the food that you've bought because it isn't as flavorful as the rest, or slightly harder to chew. Perhaps it is the thrill of seeing your rube friends ear the whole slice while you know you stopped at the peak, oh what a wise boy you are?

I think about it a lot. The Super Mario Bros movie had a running gag where Koopa ordered a pizza and it takes forever to arrive.
