[High Praise! to silaS marreD]
Weird little thought experiment over at Reddit:
In a mass knife fight to the death between every American President, who would win and why?
I’m picking Teddy Roosevelt. You know… Rough Riders and all.
UPDATE: I suspect Conan O’Brien would pick Teddy Roosevelt, too.

And now, a moment with Joe Biden.
BIDEN: …Such a beautiful summer night. It reminds me of a night several years ago that was very special for my wife Jill and I. Jill, stand up, honey. Isn’t she beautiful? Thirty-five years we’ve been married. Thirty-five wonderful years. But, it was a summer night just like tonight, and we had had some sort of falling out over who remembers what, and she had several of her girlfriends over at the house. But I just had to talk to her. I had to tell her how I felt about her and make things right. So, I come bursting into our living room and there was one of her girlfriends, who must have thought I was crazy, but I just said, “Hello, I’m looking for my wife.” And with that I look over and there’s Jill, sitting on our couch, looking up at me with those beautiful eyes. And, so I said, “Okay, if this is where it has to happen, then this is where it has to happen. I’m not letting you get rid of me. How about that?” She just sat there looking at me, and I remember it like it was yesterday, I said, “This used to be my specialty. I was good in a living room. Send me in there; I’ll do it alone. And now, I just… I don’t know… but on what was supposed to be the happiest night of my political life, it wasn’t complete, wasn’t nearly close to being in the same vicinity as complete, because I couldn’t share it with you. I couldn’t hear your voice, or laugh about it with you. I missed my wife.” I told her, “We live in a cynical world, and politics is a business of tough competitors, so try not to laugh. I love you. You complete me.” And, this wonderful woman looked up at me and said, “You had me at hello… you had me at hello.” And, folks, that’s why I love her. That’s a true story. What an incredible wife I have. True story…
This has been a moment with Joe Biden.
I’ll be on the Teri O’Brien Show at 5:40pm ET today.
It’s your quote of the day from How to Fix Everything in America Forever: The Plan to Keep America Awesome
Now, think about it: If I told you that your job for the next seventeen years would be nothing but learning, you’d expect to come out of that as Batman—a master of everything. But we’re lucky if our kids graduate with the ability to read and one marketable skill. That’s not even as good as Aquaman.

PRODUCTION NOTES:
#1: When creating lolbama! pictures, please caption with either black or white text, as colors like red and yellow tend to blur badly when I compress the images.
#2: Standard image size for these posts is 350px wide by whatever high. If you can have your images 350px wide before you caption them, I won’t end up shrinking your captions into illegibility when I re-size the images.
MAKE YOUR OWN: The free lolbuilder from I Can Has Cheezburger.
STYLE NOTE: Short captions are usually better. Your goal is 10 words or less, with humor value tending to increase exponentially as the number of words approaches 1.
Send your submissions to lolterizt@gmail.com and – if they aren’t obscene (IMAO is a PG-13 site) and don’t suck too terribly bad – I’ll post them for you. Remember to include your name (and blog URL, if applicable) so I know who to thank.
