Various Bits

Recent article and the linked article (with video) of Obama giving Biden the Presidential Medal of Freedom both were interesting and suggests the charms of Biden. But, this doesn't suddenly make him good presidential timber. Charming isn't necessarily marriage material. Needs to be cheaper, but comfort and environmentally friendly? Nice idea for a shoe. Good to see Justice Souter is still chucking (on court of appeals panel upholding gun regulations).

ETA: Veep continues to be disappointing. Some appear to disagree but to me even when the action is there (like last Sunday), it lacks the same energy as the first five seasons. Doesn't "click" the same way. And, still don't buy Amy suddenly jumping to Jonah. No, it's not like -- as one person told me on Twitter -- Kellyanne (a lifetime conservative) joining the winner she previously (and probably still does) thought was a boob.
