I think people are used to Biden playing affable and a bit goofy, like George W. Bush -- they both suffer from foot-in-mouth disease, which makes both of them sound less smart than they actually are -- so to see Biden at the top of his game was a surprise.<br /><br />Thanks re: the photos, but Gin, I have stronger language to use about the Yankees than about the candidates. *veg*littlereviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12768069499769338285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3762173.post-86446623234629933512012-10-13T14:45:08.138-04:002012-10-13T14:45:08.138-04:00Marvelous photos. Too bad about the Facebook nonse...Marvelous photos. Too bad about the Facebook nonsense...and from those you thought knew you! FB and politics are both strange beasts. I loved this river. Go Yankees...but may be time for Alex R. to get paid less or show up for his team and earn that enormous salary. ginAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3762173.post-24342039657377705432012-10-13T09:18:10.718-04:002012-10-13T09:18:10.718-04:00I too wondered why the discontinuity of observatio...I too wondered why the discontinuity of observation between Romney and Biden, both agressive, both interrupting, both smiling too much, both rude, and yet Romney considered the winner when he had no substance whatsoever to his speech, and Biden just considered, agressive, interrupting, smiley, and rude. It must be the lens through which the circumstances are viewed, the lens of expectation and affinity, and there's no accounting for that is there?<br /><br />On another note I really enjoy all your absolutely gorgeous photos and don't post my appreciation nearly often enough! Thanks for sharing such beauty with all of us!Dilyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00681332188156558116noreply@blogger.com
