From Top of the Ticket
Due to an unfortunate (and no doubt accidental) error of timing, the news of a nearly quarter-million-dollar federal fine levied against the vice president of the United States, Joe "What Checks?" Biden, was announced Friday — a hot summer day when hardly anyone was paying attention to anything but the tempting weekend at the next exit.
