My Senator and neighbor, Joe the Biden, had to say goodbye to the Senate. And, if we're lucky, he will be done with his speech by the time he has to be inaugurated on TUESDAY.

Won't it be nice when the phrase "Mr. Vice President" doesn't cause plants to wilt and small children to burst into tears? On Saturday Mr. President Elect Obama is going to stop by the train station in Wilmington to pick up Joe. I'm thinking about sending a bag of my stuff with Joe. You know, so that he can give them to my new moms, Malia and Sasha. I'm wondering if Obama is going to actually get off the train and come to Joe's door and meet his mom or if he's just going to honk.

America's Finest Media.

Last week the video of Joe Biden being interviewed by a woman with probing questions drawn straight from GOP talking points made the rounds. I don't want anyone to think, however, that all Florida reporters are shills. Here's some quality reporting:



P.S. Can we replace Chris Matthews with this kid?

Where's Ma Ape?

Ma ma ape did this today. Can you find her?


Up front is Joe the Biden. Not Joe the Plumber. Standing outside for three hours might have been worth it for Joe the Stainer.

Two for the ladies

I'm an avowed feminist. I like ladies so much I can't even have just one girlfriend. And I can't confine myself to just one ma ape. I've had my eyes on Malia and Sasha Obama as my new ma apes or, Plan B, Rachel Maddow! So I feel like it is my feminist duty to share a couple of important things:

That's my Senator Joe! This is a video about the Violence Against Women Act (Joe's greatest legislative achievement) and how important it has been:




And here is a great piece in the New Yorker about the Lily Ledbetter Act and Equal Pay for Equal Work. It is supported by my future grandpa, opposed by McCain because it would cause more lawsuits. Yeah, people using the courts to punish discrimination and protect their rights. Why, that's just UnAmerican!

Speechification

Look! It's our next Veep!



And our former Prez! The best line: People the world over have always been more impressed by the power of our example than by the example of our power.



Also John Kerry (our shoulda been Prez) gave the best speech I've ever seen him give so good on him.

I've been practicing my speechification because I know that my invitation to give the nomination speech for Obama was just lost in the mail and his peeps will be showing up any minute to whisk me to Denver. Mile High, here I come!

See me practicing, guys?


What do you think I'm saying?


And how many jokes about the VP shooting people in the face can I fit in?


See how hopeful I am? I have my own halo!

And my new friend Gucci asked where to get a Barking for Barack Tee--my shop is here.

Go with Joe!

Congrats to Ike and Jake who correctly identified MY SENATOR JOE BIDEN as the next VICE PRESIDENT! And now, Joe, I need a lift to Denver!


I've got on my tee:

I've hauled out my donkey stuffies:



I've schooled my baby brudder in the finer points of American paw-li-ticks:

And now we're gnawin' on some elephant ears! (Please note: no actual elephants harmed in the making of this post. In fact, we would like to liberate that noble beast from being the mascot of the Ignoble Party.)


So, Joe, I hope you're ready to be an attack dog to save us from Four More Years!


We dogs are here to help ya out.

We're a bit more bark than bite.

But we'd make darn cute delegates!


P.S. Auntie Linda and Onkel George, can we crash at your pad in Boulder?
P.P.S. Please stock the fridge with beer and Senor Miguel burritos.
