By Jim Vicevich / April 13, 2011 /

Okay, I can’t take credit for this one either. The hat tip goes to AP at Hot-Air and of course to ABC news for catching Joe “bite me” Biden taking a nappy during the president’s speech’s afternoon. Video under the fold.

By Jim Vicevich / March 28, 2011 /

Like all good government proposals that intrude evermore into our lives, this one has been around for a long time.
