"A Copious Stream"

Editor's note -- Diamond Joe unleashed a torrent of vomit on the debate stage while Martha Radditz continued to not interrupt him. 

Biden assured Raddatz that the incident was unusual and that he hadn’t “painted the floor like that in at least a month.”

All his opponent could do was splooge hot budget "wonk" in reply.

Bibi Bomb

Editor's note --  The New Yorker held a caption contest because of Israeli P.M. Netanyahu's speech at the U.N. the other day. 

"I know that the subject is serious; that is just one reason why the graphic, which he apparently made at Kinkos, is so ridiculous," said Robert Mankoff, Cartoon Bureau.

"Thanks to Bibi for being such a good sport in agreeing to select the top three captions. That Bibi, he’s the bomb."

The Wall Street Journal tweeted the winning caption:

Keystone Address

Editor's note -- via The Onion -- Accepting his renomination at the Democratic National Convention on Thursday, Vice President Joe Biden tapped the top of an Icehouse tallboy, cracked it open, and said, 

“Things are definitely better today than back in ’08, but is this the summer of ’87? Not a fucking chance,” said Biden,

The Vice President reminisced about his days as a carefree 44-year-old senator cruising the Delaware boardwalks.

A replier to Washington Post political wonk Ezra  Klein's retweet noted that the "dude should be drinking Keystone (Scranton)"

Blond's Bling

Editor's note --  Mattel introduced The Blond's Blond Diamond Barbie Doll, its latest Barbie doll who is not officially a Drag Queen. 

The Daily Mail noticed the doll, if it were to be a Drag Queen, would have been modeled by the Ken doll.

Phillipe (left) and David Blond

Fashion designers Phillipe and David Blond, according to the Mail, have expressed their adoration for the doll ever since their label was born in 2007.

The Editor assumes Phillipe is pretending to be Barbie, while David is pretending to be Ken.

Editors Are Actually Jerks

Editor's note -- ReFashioning Flipside is a new blog of old Flipside Florida stuff. When transferring one of its posts, the Editor noticed that why "Dolphins Are Actually Jerks?" was never actually explained.

Mmmm … Yellow Fin

 "WSM’s post explains [why WSM thinks dolphins are jerks]  some environmentalists  (such as Greenpeace)  mean well, but are not always helpful.  This is indicted by the title of the post, which includes the phrase 'ecological disaster'".

The answer is "Dolphin Free Tuna" fishing methods. @WhySharksMatter doesn't think it's worth saving dolphins, who are not endangered, at the expense of sea turtles, sharks, and many other fish species who are endangered.

Doodle Kuss

Editor's note -- The storming of the Bastille on 14 July 1782 had something to do with the French Revolution. Saturday was the 230th anniversary of Bastille Day.

Der Kuss (The Kiss) Gustav Klimt. 1907-1908

Saturday was also the 150th anniversary of Gustav Klimt's birthday. He had nothing to do with the revolution, but Google made a Doodle of his most famous painting anyway.
