The White House has a challenge for you, software developers: They want you to devise a smartphone app whose purpose is to prevent rapes on college campuses.

Few rituals these past couple of years have been more fruitless and illogical than pretending that Barack Obama will pick a new vice presidential candidate for 2012, rested on the notion that such a move would in any way be helpful. Is Joe Biden, in any meaningful sense, a political liability for Barack Obama? Would the switch from one centrist Democrat to another really trick the broad middle of America's electorate into forgetting about our shitty economy?

Vice President Joe Biden is taking his unique comedy stylings to Twitter. His office will be tweeting at @VP, so follow that for the inevitable Joe Biden-Ice T Twitter smackdown. [via Silicon Alley Insider]

Prince William wears comically large hats. Arnold Schwarzenegger disappoints even more people. Angelina Jolie has some ideas about schooling. Sunday gossip is off to the races.

Vice President Joe Biden was sent on Obama fundraising duty last week, but he reportedly told donors to not count him out for a 2016 presidential run. He'd be 74. Would you support Barack Obama's elderly comedic foil?

In your finally Friday media column: Greta Van Susteren creeps about the globe, Joe Biden absolutely loves reporters, Arianna Huffington vs. the NYT continues mildly, a hot new journalism trend, and a NewsBeast departure.

The White House has released Barack and Michelle Obama's 2010 tax returns! These grifters really cashed in, too: $1,728,096 in adjusted gross income, mostly from book royalties. How much did you poor slugs make last year in the last remaining American profession, selling handjobs outside the T.G.I. Friday's? Probably not $1,728,096 in adjusted gross income! We need a fellow poor guy like Donald Trump in the Oval Office, soon.

Vice President Biden appeared to fall asleep during President Obama's deficit reduction speech (so did the woman behind him). Not that we blame him! Numbers are hard, and the speech came right in that mid-afternoon sweet spot for naps.

Beware Joe Biden! He storms into town, Motorcade of Death demolishing everything in its path. But sometimes the havoc hits even before he arrives. Biden's goons stuffed a reporter in a closet in Florida yesterday to keep him from speaking with guests at a fundraiser he was covering.

How does Joe Biden like those "spoofs" depicting him as an womanizing, shirtless playboy madman in the Onion? "I think it's hilarious," he tells an interviewer. He claims he's a "square" in reality, though, which is a lie. [Image via]

Barack Obama's new press secretary will be Jay Carney, who's been serving as Joe Biden's communications director. Before that he was a Time reporter, so steel yourself for endless "lamestream liberal media" screams from Sarah Palin and whatnot.

His helicopter snowed-in, Obama had to take a motorcade from the military base to the White House after Air Force One landed today. It took a whole hour! Meanwhile, Joe Biden was speeding along in a snowmobile, mowing down pedestrians.

Elena Kagan's act of civic responsibility last week has been overshadowed already: Joe Biden is showing up for local jury selection, too, in Delaware today. Hopefully he makes the jury and shouts "That guy is SO guilty!" throughout the trial.

Joe Biden was full of quips at yesterday's Senate kickoff ceremonies, as captured in this highlight reel of his interactions with senators' families. He had the same line for each young daughter: "No dating til you're 30!" A creepy-uncle classic.

JibJab's become known for their funny/relevant "Year in Review" videos, so I'm pleased to announce that 2010's version—featuring puppets of President Obama and Vice President Biden singing a lamentation of the sh*tty year that was—doesn't disappoint. Watch inside.

The Washington Post's premier gossipeuse Bob Woodward said yesterday that a deal for Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden to "swap" positions in 2012 is "on the table." Can someone please present evidence for this, or just stop saying it?

Joe Biden sounded pretty desperate at a fundraiser today, hoping that radical, frightening Tea Party primary victories will "shake some of our constituency out of their lethargy" for election day. A not-9.6% unemployment rate would probably be more effective, though.

ABC is developing a TV series about a fictional Vice President and his staff. Why? Isn't that like making a show about the team that loses the World Series or a biopic about Eric Roberts without Julia? [Image via Getty]

Tonight, Jon Stewart had some fun with Vice President Joe Biden and the fact that Biden had promised that this would be the "summer of recovery" when it came to America's economy. Well, that didn't quite work out. Video inside.
