Of all the news this week, I was most excited to learn that Joe Biden shops at Costco. Seriously, the man looks like he is just enjoying the hell out of life.

Costco has been all over the news lately- I just read a thing about their CEO and how they are doing things differently than Walmart, to the benefit of their corporate profits and the local economies in which they serve. Very interesting…
I’m reading the Joe Biden post and warming my heart with all the love he gets.
Aww. I wish I’d had the money to buy the “Cup of Joe” coffee mug that had Biden’s face on it during the campaign. You could also get a beer coozy in their official shop, which is hilarious.
