what about air?
[at the Cypress Bay High School graduation ceremony]
BIDEN: (shouting) Imagine a world in which hunger is vanquished by crops that don’t depend on the soil or water or fertilizer or pesticides to thrive! They’re just around the corner. Imagine famine being a memory — and with it, the end of so much war and conflict that plagues so much parts of the world!
Plants that grow without soil are hydroponic. ["hydro." I know, Joe -- that's a big word. Greek, even... It means "water."] Plants that grow without soil or water or fertilizer or pesticides? Silk ficus? Plastic daisies? Soylent green?
And of course wars are only fought over food. Not resources. Not power. Not plagues. Not warm-water ports or ancient grudges. Not room to put all those well-fed people. Just give everyone enough majikally-grown food and everyone will sing the Coke song and get along.
The above notwithstanding, this is the best argument for meritocracy over Prog-ism I’ve heard so far…
Vice President Biden met with leaders from 10 colleges this afternoon to kick off a new effort to increase transparency in [gov't]financial aid packages. …
“I know, literally, Barack and I talk about it. Neither one of us would have had any shot,” Biden said. “The same with our wives. Both wives are smarter than both of us. Literally, these very accomplished women would not have any chance without some help.”
Imagine a world in which a fella who thinks crops will grow without soil or water reaches the apex of his career potential putting pizza flyers on cars. While wearing a giant foam pepperoni hat.

At one time, Biden would make me furious, but those days are over. I now realize he doesn’t have a clue and is in the early stages of dementia.
Yeah clap clap— Hey– if your wives are smarter than you why did they marry you?
The Unicorn Fart Force was strong on this one.
why did they marry you?
What was it – big stick or Johnson or something like that?
BIDEN: (shouting) Imagine a world in which hunger is vanquished by crops that don’t depend on the soil or water or fertilizer or pesticides to thrive! They’re just around the corner. Well, if they are, Joe, your prog supporters in the “environmental” lobbies will file lawsuits to keep these crops from being planted because they “might endanger the survival of native flora and fauna”. Either that, or your minions in the EPA will create ukases preventing farmers from planting them.
Nice to know our doofus-in-chief is going strong.
Jeebus, what a dolt.
Tillandsia… Those Air Plant pretties that seemingly thrive on nothing, take all of their nutrients out of…….the air.
Unfortunately for uncle Joe, even they need to be spritzed with water fairly often.
Plus…. They are thoroughly in edible.
Sit down, Joe!

Not to mention the current causes of wars: ideology and religious fanaticism.
Man, this guy’s delusions are driven by ideology to the point of lookin’ like a religious fanatic.
Put the doobie down, Joe. You sound like a jackass.
(What? Oh, right.)
Here’s hopin’ for an Obama/Biden’12 ticket.
Without soil: epiphytes (grow attached to trees): some orchids; spanish moss.
But not without water. They get what they need through their leaves, rather than roots. Smilin’ Joe is not the sharpest bulb in the cave.
Aside: Biden is a Catholic. He said that he’s “absoultely comfortable” with same-sex “marriage”. Catholic Bishops see it another way.
“What the VP said – that all married couples should have the same legal rights – is (precisely) POTUS’ position.”
Everybody already has exactly the same rights: to marry anyone of the opposite sex who’ll put up with them.
Speaking of putting up with, Mrs Biden must be a saint, for putting up with Joe.
“… would have had “no chance” in life had it not been for government help.”
Jill Biden: began working at age 15, which included waitressing …
… enrolled in a junior college in Pennsylvania
. . .married Bill Stevenson … [who] opened the Stone Balloon in Newark, Delaware, near the University of Delaware. It became one of the most successful college bars in the nation.
. . .drifted apart [from Stevenson, divorced].
… began her career teaching high school English
… married Joe
.. got a Masters in Education, later went back to work teaching, got a second M.A. degree.
… in 1955, got a PhD in Educational Leadership.
Maybe she got student loans – but it doesn’t sound like she leaned heavily on gummint.
Michelle, on the other hand, did.
CHON – Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen – it’s what life is made of. Oh, there are other elements involved, but those four are ALWAYS present. And they constitute “food” too.
H and O the plant gets from water. C comes from CO2 in the air. The N comes from the ground, thanks to nitrogen-fixing bacteria.
Just for science, and I took the day off today for Son’s 8th grade graduation…. I took a small bite out of one of my Air Plants.
Ever got a bit of alum in your mouf?
Not bery goov….
Our wives are smarter then us …they don’t go all the way down.
here’s yur ngtmur
I still remember the sneaky Japanese coming over here to get our hamburgers.
We “the world’ grow enough foor to feed everybody and then some. Where there is starvation it is because of war and coruption not the cause of it.
PhD in Educational Leadership? WTF izzat? Prolly as useful as my PhD in Nuclear Adverbs, received at Army War College (…right next to Leavenworth Federal Prison…) in Kansas…
Don’t know about the rest of you people, but I can’t look at that bottom picture of Plugs without being reminded of the movie “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.”
What about air?
Yeah, I remember the throngs of protesters chanting “No War For Food!”
Biden’s brain isn’t #doingjustfine
Ha! I had the same thought a few years ago
I think he actually needs a foil hat.
And meds.
Lots and lots of meds…

he didn’t finish reading the story about the lady who tried to live on just sunshine.
Truly this IS ‘the affirmative action’ President (and vice-president.)
They make the second-raters look good.
It’s got electrolytes.

U.S. President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho
FWIK of psychology, Joe Biden seems to fit the diagnosis
of insanity, conclusively & according to many of the definitions
in the DSM4. That’s the ‘bible’ used by psychiatrists to identify
& name mental & psychological disorders. He seems to be
getting worse as time passes, IMHO. I’m beginning to sense
that he may be getting psychotic. I’m going to do a little
research into ‘psychosis’ to find out if my hunches are
‘in the ball park’. I’d feel sorry for the kids in the graduating
class, except they’ve prolly had a buncha teachers like Joe Biden,
so no more damage is being done to them.
Between the narcissistic Kenyan & Crazy Joe, we have a
serious problem that I don’t think we’re dealing with effectively!
But when I look at the ‘context’ or ‘big picture’ of this sensational
incident or distraction, I’m instantly aware of the 65+ million
peeps that voted for that pair of (pleeez insert your favorite
litany of descriptive adjectives). Then I realize that bazillions
of also insane idjits, who desperately want their lives destroyed
as in all previous socialistic regimes, want to vote for BamBam
& his gang, again. Pleeez, am I missing sumpin??
Fascinating theory. Let us know how the study turns out.
But still, there are many shades of insanity. There are neuroses (almost too many to count), psychoses (probably too severe a condition for JB), …
I suppose you could say that he’s afflicted with a distorted view of reality (as are many liberals).
And Obama certainly fits the case for narcissism (used to be called “megalomania”).
One problem with the people who voted for Obama last time, is that they’re going to find it very difficult to not vote for him again. That would mean that they were wrong the first time, and if there’s one thing a liberal can’t stand, it’s to have his fundamental beliefs challenged.
There do seem to be a lot of Democrat politicians jumping ship, and a lot of the masses expressing disappointment that Obama hasn’t turned us into a socialist worker’s paradise yet.
Then there’s the classic case, from a few days ago, of the tearful lady who felt that the vote to keep Walker was “the death of democracy”. You can see how deep those feelings of “our side is the Light, and your side is doo-doo”
Do any of these statements fit Obama:
* Has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements)
* Is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance,…
* Believes that he is “special” and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions)
* Requires excessive admiration
* Has a sense of entitlement, i.e., unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations
* Is interpersonally exploitative, i.e., takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends
* Lacks empathy: is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others
* Shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes
I was going to stop when the list deviated, but I left out only one (“Is often envious of others or believes others are envious of him”).
Those are all the indicators from the DSM IV.
(Aside: the next link I followed fits the unfortunate congressman Anthony Weiner to a “T” (in German, that would be pronounced “whiner”):
Phallic narcissism
