Jonah was kind enough to mention this humble site; greetings!

A bit off-topic, but for those National Review old-timers among you, who can identify the year in which this quote appeared in NR?

Looks like a mandate for greed and selfishness. Or maybe a mandate for Armageddon?

I know I'm not the only one to have fond memories of that issue...

    Joe The Biden:

    “Why is it that Joe Biden is the first in his family to ever go to a university? Was it because our fathers and mothers were not bright? Is it because they didn’t work hard, my ancestors who worked in the coal mines of northeast Pennsylvania and would come up after 12 hours and play football for four hours? It’s because they didn’t have a platform upon which to stand.”

    Neil Kinnock:

    “Why am I the first Kinnock in a thousand generations to be able to get to university? Was it because our predecessors were thick? Was it because they were weak, those people who worked eight hours underground and then come up and play football, weak? It was because there was no platform upon which they could stand.”

    While this is a great idea for a blog, there is one problem; you’re going to need a team of five people to keep up with all the gaffs. I’m not sure one person can track them all.

    Biden needs his own reality show.

    “I cannot believe that a Frenchman visiting Kiev went back home and told his colleagues he discovered something and didn’t say he discovered the most beautiful women in the world. That’s my observation.”-Vice President Joe Biden

    An inappropriate observation, awkwardly phrased.

    @nemov, indeed, there’s a tremendous amount of available material. But we’re doing this for posterity!

    @nemov - thanks for the pointer to “a slight indian accent”; I’ve added an entry for that one.
