Well, it’s official. Obama has chosen Joe Biden as his running mate, thus balancing out his youth and inexperience with some gray hair. This should be interesting for the following reasons:
1. Joe Biden himself has been quoted as saying that he doesn’t believe Obama is ready to be president. He was then later quoted as standing by that statement.
2. Biden has criticized Obama for failing to show up to vote for numerous important issues and then criticizing the outcomes later (which, frankly, everyone should criticize).
3. Biden has said it would be a “tragic mistake” to nominate someone for president who lacked foreign policy credentials.
So basically Obama has chosen a dude who doesn’t seem to think much of his ability to lead. The backpedaling is going to be fantastically awesome to watch.
Rumor has it that McCain will choose Mitt Romney as his running mate, which I personally am in favor of because I think Mitt Romney is foxy and totally presidential looking. These are, as I’m sure you realize, very important qualities to look for when deciding how to vote for our nation’s leaders. In fact, if the whole Mitt thing doesn’t work out, I would like to propose that Robbie Williams be selected as running mate. Foxy AND a cool British accent? Unstoppable.
Geez, Mockarena. Here I am being all nostalgic and grateful to the Kinoki footpads for helping me find this fabulous website, when I look up and see that you had to get all political again. And I can’t believe that you are willing to support such a ticket. I really am starting to question your judgement. Robbie Williams? Everyone knows Gavin Rossdale would make a MUCH better candidate. Really.
I’m not ruling out Gavin. Or David Beckham for that matter.
Totally agree with rosie too. I found this site some time ago when googling “Kinoki scam” and it was the definition of love at first sight. Although I’ve been quiet in the past few week, my love for you has been growing every day… LOVE
I’m staying out of the political conversations for personal preference. You can mock me for that if you want, I just feel this is far too important for mocking. Now…I want you to know that the Pedegg is a wonderful product, thanks for pretesting it. Can you test mighty putty? Perhaps see if Holmes can pull it apart with his calf muscles.
Oooh, please test Mighty Putty!! I need I might need it (like I just needed to eat 1/2 bag of chips and ranch dip), but would hate to pay 19.95 + S&H if doesn’t work.
And Sham-Wow. I think I need one of those too.
I’m loving the comments here! FYI-my friend tried Mighty Putty and said it doesn’t work. Sham-Wow, on the other hand, I want to try. I would LOVE to wipe up liters of soda, dry my car, and have a bath mat all at the same time.
SHAM-WOW! THAT is the name of the wipey-things that can absorb like an entire swimming pool, right? I totally want to try those - and just couldn’t remember the name.
Am ordering today. A full report will follow.
I had a few of them years ago (not by that name, but it seems close) and yes, the ones I had were fabulous. I never did the ‘whole liter of soda’ test, but they sure did pick up quite a lot of spills.
I’m totally ordering Sham-Wow’s if your report says good stuff. I hope they’re like my old ones. I cried when they wore out.
Love how we all got way off topic! Mock us too!
Biden: -Nothing like picking a guy who stole lines from other peoples work to add crediblity to a presidential ticket. I think Obama should pick the Sham-Wow pitchman…….a Sham-Bama ticket, then you’d have truth-in-advertising!
The mocking is a guilty pleasure for me. However, I was disappointed to find political drivel I can easily find on Fox news. I assume you make money from advertising on the site, so I don’t see why you want to alienate half (or more) of your potential audience.
Mock No More - I think it’s kinda adorable that you think we make money.
That would be SO COOL.
Politicians are just as mockworthy as anything else. If you feel “alienated” by a post which simply lays out a few FACTS about Biden (I’d challenge you to prove otherwise), then you probably don’t have a thick enough skin to stick around anyway. This was the mildest of mockery.
To stay completely off-topic, I would LOVE for you to try the Pedi-paws (or Pet-i-cure or something like that) to “file” your pet’s nails. Do you know what I’m talking about? It’s that wheel-file that spins and “you can gently file your pet’s nails without hurting him”. I have been dying to try it since I saw it on TV a few months ago. Especially since the last time I tried to trim my cat’s nails, she clawed my husband’s leg to get away.
This will have to be up to Bunny, who is the only one of us at the moment who actually has pets.
I have also recently found love in the mockdock as well, and I applaud your fearless mockery of a presidential candidate easily mocked in countless ways, yet restraining yourself. It seems necessary in order to retain readership :]
That being said - please order the PedEgg. Infomercials are my guilty pleasure, and Billy Mays my messiah. I’m dying to know if the PedEgg actually works, and am thinking about going for it, now that I know that there will be some benefit to breast cancer research if I give into my guilty pleasure…?
Elizabeth - I have been going back and forth on the pedegg for a long time and I think you’ve convinced me. I will purchase one the next time I’m at the store and will let you know how it goes.
Is he in the process of clipping his nose hairs in that photo?? Eck?
Mockorena you are sooooo RIGHT. We should be able to mock all politicians……especially ones who can’t remember how many homes they own.
Or worse, yellowdog, a politician running for the office of the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, who doesn’t know how many states there actually ARE: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpGH02DtIws
Your RIGHT! Or one who wants to keep us in Irag for a 100 years but doesn’t know the difference between a Shi’ite and Sunni.

I am hoping the DNC picks someone else to nominate. I just cannot vote for “Keating 5″ McCain and I don’t like the dem ticket either. Plus I can’t support Nader. Maybe I will write in Holmes for Prez and Mockarena for Veep, or the other way around.
yellowdog - I’d still rather have a leader who can identify how many states are in the COUNTRY THAT HE LEADS.
Plus - I can’t argue with someone who doesn’t know the difference between you’re and your.
sbarros - I feel your pain. The candidates are a far cry from perfect, and it sucks to have to vote for someone simply out of fear of the alternative, but I think that’s what a lot of people are going to do this year.
Grammar lesson accepted. I could play this game for days. So much senility so little time. Love you Mock, hate your politics.
Backatcha, yellowdog.
Not to worry, I’ll try to stay light on politicizing and heavy on everything else.
Mock, you realize that the “57 states” thing was case of wrong-word usage, right? He meant 57 primaries. Cuz that’s how many he had dealt with at the time of the quote.
I know I’ve done that plenty of times. I mean to say ’sandwich’ and I say ’soup’ instead, or something like that. Simple mistake.
Just trying to clear up a misconception, that’s all.
