At the close of the Constitutional Convention in 1787, Dr. James McHenry, a Maryland delegate, followed Benjamin Franklin from Independence Hall. He recorded a question asked by a lady, directed at Dr. Franklin.

The lady asked, "Well Doctor, what have we got? A republic or a monarchy?"

"A republic," replied Dr. Franklin, "if you can keep it."

Biden for Team Obama in 2012!

Is Vice President Joe (Slow Joe) Biden suffering from dementia? It's an honest question since he's a heartbeat away from the Big Job. (h/t Dale for the graphic, right)

While I support his continued position on Team Obama, because he has every bit as little credibility as his boss, Barack, I question whether or not he's qualified to hold high public office.

He doesn't seem to be able to get anything straight, and I think that I speak for many Americans and most world leaders when I write this. Don't get me wrong. I'm sure that he's a fine grandpa and yes, he's always good for a quote on how Barack Obama was one of the first articulate black people he'd met. But to give him control of nuclear launch codes is, frankly, frightening. 

One thing that Vice President Biden is good for is that he is able to blame former President George Bush for his (Biden's) failure in office (a familiar refrain from the Obama White House whenever they screw something up). At least he's able to remember to say that.

And we're told that if you pull his finger, he'll fart on command. That talent alone, while noteworthy, is not the only talent that an American Vice President should have.

Joe has always been a tad wonky.

A TAD wonky?

His condition seems to be worsening. That's a bad sign.

Okay. Wonky beau coup.

Opus, senility is a sad thing. I know that people want to be inclusive and diversity might include a senile vice president...but I think that's going too far.

It's much like voting somebody because of the color of their skin.

Biden: "...because things got really bad before we came into office..."

5th Grader: "Mr Vice President, where did you work before you came to into office to fix this mess?"

Next week on "Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader..."

Race - Race - Race - You're so closed minded. Biden never voted on a single thing that he can recall when he served in the Senate. (Helen Reddy, Delta Dawn, "It's so nice to be insane, no one asks you to explain...")

Now if Biden could just go back to eating the black checkers, thinking that they are Oreos and leave the rest of us alone, it would be nice.
