According to a recent Newsweek story, 29 percent of Americans do not know who the Vice President of the United States is. Awkwardly, Joe Biden is among this group, still not quite sure why people keep asking him to sign things and travel to pancake breakfasts in middle America. Big Ups to Kim Kardashian. Following the earthquake and tsunami in Japan, the television star decided to auction off an afternoon spending time with her, with all of the proceeds going to Japan relief. We’re just not sure how much people will bid, as you can see just about all you want of her online. Big Ups to Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. While driving to work to hear a case concerning discrimination claims against Wal-Mart, Scalia rear ended another driver and received a fine of $70. Scalia then went to his office and promptly declared laws about minor traffic accidents uncon- stitutional. Big Ups to Betty White. The 89-year-old actress will host a new hidden camera reality show called “Betty White’s Off Their Rockers,” which seems to be a version of “Jackass” by Hannah Spry with a team of senior citizens in the place of Johnny Knoxville and crew. And we can’t think of anything better to put on television than foul-mouthed members of the AARP.
