What's this he's been mumbling about Edison not being the inventor of the light bulb ?

Guys seriously, could he really become President ?? Are there no aptitude requirements ? He has a hard time remembering where he is !!

You're the United States of America. He could be your Commander-in-Chief. Projecting the image of America to the World. It doesn't seem real.

 

Here ya go - a video with Joe Biden farting.

I haven't watched it yet (enjoying a midnight snack) but apparently from the comments the whole one-minute thing is a hoot,

Well the story I heard was that Edison hired the guy who Biden says invented it, named Lewis Latimer.
Latimer did apparently find a more efficient way to produce the filament, but did not invent it.

If so, I'd be surprised if that were the Warner Brothers intent.

 

I don't know if WB was involved with news agencies in 70's, but I don't think it would not be that well recieved if such movie would be made today. Network won 4 oscars so one would think that things were not as screwed up as it is todays media.

 

Not sure how good a barometer of normality the oscars are !

​

There are several other adjectives that would fit the saying- but it's nothing other than self-worship regardless.

 

That is true. And famous people today are pretty much dependent of media to keep themself famous. Political opinions are sure way to keep them in spotlight.

Besides I'm sure you older guys across that small lake called atlantic might know better what it was like in 60's or 70's with famous influentials. Has there been any changes in 40 years?

 

This has happened ...
