Biden in the Onion
“I need to steer clear of D.C. until some shit blows over,” said Biden, sitting in the far corner of a Mexican cantina with his back to the wall and taking a long swig from a bottle of Tecate Light. “It’s nothing I can’t handle, but let’s just say there was a little misunderstanding. Somebody didn’t get something they were supposed to get.”
“And somebody else got a whole lot more than they bargained for,” he added.
The New York Times has a story examining the Onion’s representation of Vice President Joe Biden as a trailer park Lothatio. The story is great, but better is the link to the articles themselves, which are hilarious. (I love the recurring Trans Am.)
Quote from “Biden to Cool His Heels in Mexico for a While.”

The Vikings
FLYMF alum J.D. Smith has a new poem, “The Vikings,” published in The Awl. It’s a fun little bit of whimsy.
J.D.’s stories for FLYMF included The Great Tuvalu Liquidation Sale, My Fetishist Things and As a Matter of Fact, I Am the Person You Have to Blow to Get a Table Around Here.
Ralph Gamelli in the Morning News
FLYMF alum Ralph Gamelli riffs on Armando Galarraga’s almost perfect game with “I Blew the Call.”
