VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN, speaking to a student today after remarks on U.S.-China relations, at Sichuan University in Chengdu, China:
Q: “Thank you, very much, Your Excellency Vice President. I see you not just as the vice president, but a veteran and accomplished public speaker. … [W]hat role has public speaking played in your life? … And secondly, what role do you think public speaking will play among our youth of the two countries and to our bilateral relations?”
BIDEN: “[Y]ou compliment me by saying I’m an accomplished public speaker. I don’t know whether you’ve had an opportunity to see a movie that has gotten worldwide circulation called ‘The King’s Speech.’ Well, but for the royal blood and the money, that could have been me. I was a serious stutterer when I was in school as a child, as a high school student, and even into college. And I practiced very, very hard by myself, standing in front of a mirror, trying to annunciate without contorting my face. When you think about it, whether it’s China or America, the only impediment people feel free to make fun of and humor of is a stutterer.
“If I had a deformed face, you would not make fun of my face. But if I stood before you and ta-ta-talked to-to-to you like that, you’d do what you’re now — you’re smiling. And it’s offensive. It’s offensive. Because it is a serious impediment. When one stutters, people believe they are stupid. People believe they are not worth much. And there’s tens of millions of people around the world trapped with a keen mind and big heart, trapped inside of a body that cannot articulate what they feel. … The thing that always embarrasses me is — and in the back of my head, I’m embarrassed in front of you — I’m embarrassed I can’t speak to you in Chinese. I would — seriously — I would rather be able to honor you and show my respect for you by speaking your language, as you honor me by speaking mine.”
Sometimes there is no need to wonder, what’s it all about?
It is so clearly about BULLSHIT… 
God Bless the Chinese Translators.

Coal Mine Collapse.
Up Soon to PAY YA!
On so many levels that last part is just rollicking –
I’m embarrassed I can’t speak to you in Chinese. I would — seriously — I would rather be able to honor you and show my respect for you by speaking your language, as you honor me by speaking mine.”
Maybe he could learn the word “Mandarin”.
In English. Ya know.
Before he tries to dazzle them Sichuan students with
The Ole Chengdu.
I sure noticed how much selfless unpaid work Joey B has done with the mass population globally of stutterers and stammerers…
I thought it was a spectacular tour de force, from an all around fuck up via his mouth… (and I am sure other orifices, too!!)
“We come to pay and learn your ways.
Ya all still like Opium?”
O-Yeh LOL Joey B and the mass population globally of stutterers and stammerers… I thought it was a spectacular tour de force, – mcat
Oh sure, “10′s of millions around the globe trapped in…” HUNGER! cuz they simply can’t say ‘mashed potatoes and gravy’. STARVATION! In a world where “Please Pick-up a Pizza” presents…. PANDEMONIUM! Which could then be enriched….
He was ALL over the place.
sort of brain-frapped-LIFTED his way through his ceremonious desire for Chinese language and assimilation via some neural clusterfuck that made an odd cinematic pastiche out of it all: sort of Seven Years in Tibet meets The Last Emperor with more than a bit , by the look so it, of Kill Bill Hell, the wife Hillary’ too for that matter. So I dunno! Hell WHO knows what floats around in Knob’s head, but a Helluva performance tho! Helluva Performance! 
Oh Joe…..ya know, ole Bomb and Partition BIDEN;
And like Reagan at Normandy for a D-Day memorial sort of stroking in to how he was there and all LOL as a few to many B-,movie scripts ran off the reel, I think Biden
ABSOLUTE tour de force!
ABSOLUTE tour de force!
I bet they played The Help on his plane. (omigod, a PLAN EEE)
Check is in the Mail!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Scrapings, now.
Hmm. Turning to …
The WASHINGZTON POST with BLOOMBERG
BUSINESS
I see – whatever the fuck it is – “The Help” leads box office returns this weekend.
So I checks it out….
LOL. Right on cue- .
The seqeal, I’m sure: The children in the movie all attend Ivy League Law Schools enter politics and collude to build minor domestic client-state fiefdoms in support of Greater Society client-state fiefdoms which deploy the more pedestrian townfolk as post-racial agents of torture, rape, murder and mayhem against characters in.well… ~Another Movie!
Should we mention the flying robots?
The clips look awful.
I think they should sell it as The Color Purple Part II
Another horrifying entry in the fantasy movie genre.
It translates better into the ole Chengdu, I’m sure.
truly!!!!!!!!!!!
Watch out, Mongolia. Biden is headed your way.
News Flash:
Libya has fallen. Father O to address the nation.
I see the various media is claiming that gas prices will fall as a result of ….. soemthing to do with Libya… Bridges for sale everywhere.
Oh! Pretzel to speak! No? I guess not yet, just a statement.
Ok OK OK!!!!! Oil price will drop… GOT IT!! thanks!
****
****
****
Got It…. USA!! USA!! USA!! USA!!
Welp. We know what that means.
Whatever burn-Bank lower echelon lackeys who only wrote naked calls in Oil ehm, before the whole Barry/Assad tête-à-tête hustle , yep they’re gonna need some substantial new plans involving buttcream in the morning.
But for those who were IN on Friday?
Pulling Barry’s string?
But Thanks to the media and Barry The Talking Doll, it’s just as easy for them Friday to sell gigundo oil futures contracts to rise as it is on Monday to cover their positions and milk the spreads thanks to the propaganda. Classic market whipsaw.
Now Cue upset plans, Cue reporting of assorted Libyan power struggles , sordid killings and whatnot post-Ghadaffi-PERIL in the Fight to Lower Our Prices: Part ll.
Yep.
Time to start chopping up the furniture for winter heat again.
Gold stil “surging”, however….
Time to start chopping up the furniture for winter heat again.
Oh that made me laugh, when i was very small and for 2 or so years we lived in Northern California in a small town… the big Irish family LOL “the Caseys”, down the block (back when there were only 2 or 3 houses on each side of hte street) began burning whatever for winter fuel. First, the back steps went, then the back porch, then the side door steps, then a side porch….. and so on. Big old rangy wood frame house…
Different here in Jersey. Different. Neighbors help..
Most often, well, *most* often, by agreeing not to testify after noticing their own porch is missing. The old sustainable VALUES. There is the occasional down the street meddling at times, necessitating of course, inexplicable disappearance or arson visited upon the Buttinskis to set things straight. Then life goes on …most often.
Jersey home of the Values Voters.
I already landed on one report that says, the drop in oil price will not reach all the way to the pump price.
SO surprising!!
If you have a hidey hole prepare to get in it and stay there for a few weeks…
August 28, dedication of MLK Walmart statue on the Mall (no really, I mean it about We Got it At Walmart: stone and the artist who carved it, Chinese. Made in China!, apparently no native stone of Georgia. No US land mass native stone and we have no funerary sculptors… )
Then, in a quick 2 weeks, it is 9/11. Incoming patriotic artillery!
Talk about Fried Butter at the various state fairs.
The sooner we have 9/11 Sales Events, the better.
closer than you think.
oh god… I am scared to look….
It reminds me of some big event… maybe the BiCentennial… that I was dreading and a friend who grew up in Hawaii said to me, come iwth me to my parents… Hawaii never bothers much with any of that… we don’t consider ourselves a part of all of that.
Geesh…. Freedom, floating out there in the middle of the Pacific…
I found the thread appalling.. they all LIKE the idea. The thing has such a strong stench of MBA Marketing 102, that it is not even funny.
Isn’t it horrible?
Yes I thought so…
it makes me realize how perfectly “buying” and “selling” have completely consumed culture … that you show support for something by buying something and/or by selling something. it’s not enough to just be sympatico or supportive in a general sense, someone has to MAKE MONEY for the support to become real.
marketing is all…
so…. in 25 mins Pacific time? I guess. IF he manages to be on time for his own “remarks”…
And he si plodding away, reading… he is “directing my teams”….
It’s hard out there for a punk pimp pretzel.
oh so shocking. so so so shocking…

oh I just heard, he / they wrote Stand By Me….
yup, and Hound Dog and Yakkety Yak and lots of other fun stuff
Scientists have recorded the first experimental evidence that elephants experience “eureka!” moments
I think people are stupid… they insist that animals don’t think. That they just slumber on thru life, vaguely instinctual, instinctive… occasionally more sensitve than at other times..
In all the pictures I leaf thru, there recently was one of some great antlered creature, not sure which of the several it was… and at first the photog thought he was just drinking from big bins of water that are put out for the creatures… but noticed the movement was odd…. THEN he saw the moose or big deer or whatever was fishing out from the water a squirrel type of creature that was haplessly floundering in the water… got Squirrel out and released him or her to the ground.
I agree …
There was another story that was similar…. and I did use the photo a few months ago… a collections of animals were crossing a river, all different sorts, but not a mix of prey and food…. anyway, one of the mid sized creatures got his foot stuck between rocks.. and was struggling to get free…. according ot the photog, the oldest and biggest of the assorted collection, a big big hippo or rhino sort, came over to try to help… could not get the animal free and appeared to ponder it for a bit, obviously the animal would just weaken and eventually die of drowning probably… the big old animal broke the trapped creature’s back, freed it and set it to float down the river.
I mean, assessed the situation, tried one resolution, watched it fail, reconsidered and took action, made a determination of what to do from what was possible…. And appeared to be the acknowleged leader of the river crossing.
Right, dumb as ox.
BTW, the latest Anonymous v BART protest got pretty hairy… no word that BART shut down cell capability… They tried to bluster their way out of having done that… but i think more came down after the event, behind the scenes, than was reported. They have not, so far, done it again…
And it did set a precedent… which people appeared to ignore or just not “get”.
We will see…
hmm political Town Hall is very much a Respect your Betters event. I wonder when it will all blow up, IF it will….
How long is the wait to book that travelling Guillotine? Anyway?
And so it goes:
Hmm 5.9 hits DC and apparently is felt far and wide on Eastern SeaBord…
My first earthquake… quite an odd sensation. I had no idea what was going on when it started… Everything seems fine in NYC though.
AND it was upgraded to a 5.9 AND is the strongest ever to hit that region.
Oh I like earthquakes a lot… from time to time there is one that feels off, that bothers me in some vague way, but overall, I like them…
Oh too funny!
Obama heard Maxine W…. I see he is playing golf at the country club in Oak Bluffs on MV. IIRC Oak Bluffs is the old black enclave on the island.
Carry on!!
Too bad there wasn’t a Tsunami over at the vineyard…well not really, but really. Like, you know?!
BTW watch out for green salads at Mariscos (mexican seafood)….ay cabron mi panzon estaba bien chingado, guey!

Works for me!

Although my favorite hit was, of course, Let’s Go Get Stoned
IANAD, but I think Biden’s BS rambles would quite improved if someone would slip some cannabis tincture into the Gin that he’s not drinking…It might not improve his Alzheimers but it would pro’ly make his rambles more entertaining…
Oh that would be so entertaining….
Virginia Nuclear Plant Had Quake Sensors Removed Due to Budget Cuts
I heard him on RT today… the ONLY good thing about the earthquake is it ran a serpent up their nether regions on the issue of nuclear plants and earthquakes… (ntim)
