Vice President Joe Biden is known for his humor, and he definitely shared it in Sarasota, and that's not an "outrageous lie."
With five days before the General Election, it's time to laugh. Vice President Joe Biden's appearance in Sarasota was noted for him calling Gov. Mitt Romney's Ohio radio ad an "outrageous lie" about how Jeep is taking jobs to China. (For the record, the Jeep chief executive said they are adding jobs in Toledo, and a new Chinese plant is for only the Chinese market.) But there's a lot of crazy stuff and one-liners that Biden said that didn't make it to the nightly news. Especially when you clip his words together out of order and out of context like a late-night talk show. Including: "Eureka! He found there was a binder full of qualified women!" "I'm being a good Biden today." "... The president is wrong." "Look man, I used to have a …

Vice President Joe Biden stumps in Sarasota to address the president's jobs and economic plan.

"We're all better off when we're working together," he said. "After this election, I hope we'll do what we always did" Work Together."

Get tips on what you need to have and where to go for the Gov. Mitt Romney campaign rally in Sarasota's Ringling Museum.
Presidential candidate Gov. Mitt Romney will be in Sarasota for a free campaign rally Thursday, and Patch has prepared five things to know before you go see him. 1. Where do I go? The rally will be at the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art behind the large center courtyard and the Statue of David, so you'll be looking west across Sarasota Bay. Though volunteers are on hand expected to direct traffic, the Ringling has ample parking, but for large events, the lot fills up fast and some folks will have to park in the grass, which is actually much closer as it's in front of the museum itself. The crowd will shuffle toward the rear courtyard where barricades and a security line will greet you. Gates open at 1:30 p.m., and the event begins …

Both presidential candidates' definitions of "middle income" differ from the U.S. Census. Gov. Mitt Romney says it's $200,000 to $250,00 and less, while President Barack Obama says it's up to $250,000. How do you define it?
During an interview last Friday, Republican Presidential candidate Gov. Mitt Romney told ABC's "Good Morning America" that middle income is "$200,000 to $250,000 and less. " President Barack Obama's description of middle income is similar. According to the Associated Press, Obama defines middle class as families with income up to $250,000 a year. Both of these descriptions differ greatly from numbers recently released by the U.S. Census. The real median household income in the United States in 2011 was $50,054, according to the U.S. Census. In light of the conflicting numbers from politicians and the U.S. Census, we'd like to know how you define "middle income." Westchae, post a comment below to share your thoughts and join in the …

I wouldn't consider myself middle class if I made anything in the $200 - $250 K region... I don't understand the logic in dictating what your opinion of the middle class income should be, when the facts/reality of it are in Census results! more ›

National security is far more important than fictitious job creation. America voted the current president into office under the guise of change. Here we are nearly three years later and the only change we have seen is worse unemployment numbers, lower national security and a national education system that needs a major overhaul. We did however allow less restrictions on illegal aliens (they are … more ›

Comint is indeed a type of Sigint, and I meant to say Elint (also a type of Sigint). And yes, there are multiple types of intel, but my point was that there are often conflicts in information that is coming in in real time and I was giving examples. In the Benghazi situation, I'd professionally wager that the best source will be Humint, supplemented by Comint. And, as multiple echelons were … more ›
