You just can't make those things up.

Biden Jr.’s resume is unsurprisingly sprinkled with Ivy-league dust – a graduate of Yale Law School he serves on the Chairman’s Advisory Board for the National Democratic Institute, is a director for the Center for National Policy and the US Global Leadership Coalition which comprises 400 American businesses, NGOs, senior national security and foreign policy experts.

Over embellished I'd say.

How else is a young fellow to break into the clandestine world of geo-politics?

To be fair to him, at his position, there is very little for him to do is there?

Anywhere he works, there will always be people pointing fingers saying that its nepotism. The only safe thing for him to do is to stay home and twiddle his thumb, and than Biden's opponents would mock him for his stupid son.

Damned if you do and damned if you don't. Hey ho, such is the life of politics. You know what you are getting into when you start out, so it's no use complaining later.

Sometimes I think if someone told you that we Americans eat babies and howl at the moon you'd believe it.

I don't eat babies!
But sometimes a good howl at the moon can be very gratifying. Just to annoy the neighbors.

Dunno about the howling, but you eat veal don't you?

I think we can own up to that one and the howling.

TarJak · 05-15-14, 05:54 PM

Veal goes well with baby carrots and potatoes. Does the howling happen after the meal or before?
