Glenn "Instapundit" Reynolds saw this picture of Barack Obama and Joe Biden, hanging out at the Kennedy Center Honors, in the White House Flickr, and he thought there was something... interesting about it.

Oh boy, a "hot rumor!" Those are our favorite rumors, bar none! What is it exactly, U.S. News? Hm. It seems that "the hot rumor in Washington" is that Obama will replace Biden with Hillary Clinton, on the 2012 ticket.

Give Joe Biden a high five. The Vice President of the United States turns 67 today. (Let's all hope he gets through the day without any more accidents.) The oldest member of Congress, Sen. Robert Byrd of West Virginia, turns 92 today. Former U.S. ambassador to the U.N. John Bolton is 61. Mike D of the Beastie Boys turns 44. Joel McHale of The Soup and Community is turning 38. Pat Kiernan of NY1 is turning 41. Actress Sean Young is 50. Bo Derek turns 53. Author Don DeLillo is turning 73. TV anchor Judy Woodruff turns 63. Avant-garde performer Meredith Monk is 67. Tween star Cody Linley turns 20. Former Eagles member Joe Walsh is turning 62. And Mark Gastineau, the retired football star and father of Brittny, is 53.

If Joe Biden ever offers you a ride in his limo, politely decline and find another way to get where you're going. The vice president's motorcade was involved in a traffic accident late yesterday, his third in under a week. Biden was heading over to The Daily Show when one of the advance police cars in his motorcade crashed into a livery cab on 49th Street. Unlike his accident on Nov. 11, though, no one died this time around. While the unmarked cop car was a little worse for the wear, none of the cars' occupants were seriously injured. And the drama didn't prevent Biden from doing a smash-up job when he sat down with Jon Stewart either, so that's nice. [WCBS, NYDN]

The vice president's motorcade was in a midtown Manhattan crash last night, their third in one week (three means trend), one of which caused a fatality.

At 42% poor ol' Joe is worse off than Al Gore, a man who bored people so much, they voted for George W. Bush instead. In fact, he can't even measure up to his predecessor Dick Cheney, a man who took polls very seriously indeed.

Since Obama has been on vacation lately, and Biden has the temerity to continue to make public appearances, the Washington Times' Joseph Curl has declared a coup. Now that we're 12 days into Biden presidency, how's he doing?

Celebrity Twittering seems to be at an all-time high, which means it's time to brace for the inevitable comedown, when the fickle famous give up microblogging forever. Oprah Winfrey, ever the trend setter, is leading the charge.

Probably thinking that no one in America would be watching television on the morning of July 5th, the Obama administration let Crazy Joe Biden out of his cage for an appearance on ABC's This Week.

At a fundraiser yesterday, VP Joe Biden tried, fruitlessly, to appease a gay community enraged by Barack Obama's not caring about their issues all that much. He is "not unaware of the controversy!"

June 2 @ 3pm Just had a VPOTUS sighting… Joe Biden on Madison Ave walking out of Barneys, now he is somewhere on 61st. [Submit your own Gawker Stalker sightings to stalker@gawker.com]

Yesterday we learned that an entry in Maureen Dowd's Sunday Times column appeared to be lifted straight from a blog post by TPM's Josh Marshall on Thursday. Last night, Dowd admitted to plagiarizing Marshall.

For the love of God can the Obama White House please assign someone to keep a 24-hour watch on vice-president Joe Biden to insure that he doesn't get out without his muzzle on ever again?!

The Joe Biden relative who isn't named after Obama's dog? He is a rock star! He hangs out in the LES and plays in a band and has at least one tattoo!

Joe Biden is finally useful! Barack Obama has to appoint a Supreme Court justice, see, and his goofy Vice President used to be the guy in charge of torpedoing those nominations.

"Biden's verbal slips won't sink ships—nor will they trick us into a fraudulent war or compromise our values by launching a regime of torture." But, but—gaffes, Bob! Gaffes! [The Week, Photo: AP]

Hark, who will stand up for the common man against Joe Biden and his hatred of public transportation? How about a multimillionaire media big shot with a compulsive need for money and luxury?

We've been hard on ABC News' Jake "The Octogon" Tapper, because we think he can seem rather dickish. But today he used his dickishness for good and not evil, and for that we thank him.

Joe Biden warned the public to avoid "confined spaces" like the subway when he appeared on the Today show this morning. So what did our fearless leader, Michael Rubens Bloomberg, do? He took the subway and went as far as to ask reporters to film him arriving at City Hall by train. Message communicated! But to make his arrival even more special, he also made sure he had a crisp copy of El Diario tucked under his arm, so not only did he reassure us all that we'll be fine amid the swine flu epidemic, he also demonstrated that he's still working on his Spanish. Multitasking in action, clearly.

Joe Biden went on the Today Show this morning and very calmly explained that you are going to die from swine flu if you don't lock yourself in a safe room now.
