...unambiguously qualified to inherit the Oval Office, Obama made a judicious choice, especially in light of the competence questions that have continually dogged Biden's embattled Republican counterpart, Sarah Palin. Indeed, even the Republicans - who have hit their opponents on a wide range of issues, in keeping with the nonstop attack politics of the modern era - have not disputed Biden's readiness to lead. But as the vice-presidential hopeful heads into Thursday's debate with Palin, his unflagging propensity to make absurd, imprudent and often offensive statements is once again weighing heavily on Democrats' minds.

...This summer McCain has waged a nonstop assault - from the derision of his "celebrity" ads comparing Barack Obama to Paris Hilton, to McCain's own filthy attack on Obama as someone who would "rather lose a war than lose an election." (Obama has tried to strike back, but creative personal attacks just seem foreign to the Democrats' DNA.)

But then I'll read something about Leonardo da Vinci or Charlie Chaplin or Michelangelo and I think to my self, f___ I better start rocking. Those guys were really tearing it up. I better get on it!" In the coming months, he'll keep touring nonstop, appearing everywhere...
Macau is a city that resonates with the sound of money. The nonstop rat-a-tat of millions of gambling chips tossed on blackjack and baccarat tables in its cavernous casinos, the constant thumping from the construction of five-star hotels and luxury apartments and the hubbub of the crowds of tourists who jam the narrow streets of this tiny Chinese enclave mix to create the roar of fortunes being made. This is the sound of one of the greatest gambling booms in history. The casinos in Macau take in more money than those of the Las Vegas Strip...
