Will Keeping it Real Go Wrong for Biden... Again?

Honestly, I had to laugh when I saw this headline:

Biden Warns Romney Policies Would Put Crowd ‘Back in Chains’

I think it's pretty funny, but with all of the horrible and untrue things that gets said in todays political discourse, an overeaction is expected, but Romney's response kind of comes across as they only said something because it was expected of them:

Andrea Saul, Mr. Romney’s press secretary, said in a statement. “The comments made by the vice president of the United States are not acceptable in our political discourse and demonstrate yet again that the Obama campaign will say and do anything to win this election. President Obama should tell the American people whether he agrees with Joe Biden’s comments.”

Since When is it an Entitlement to Spend My Own Money

This is an interesting article, not really examining Romney's VP pick and the effect on entitlements, but more an examination of how the word has changed over the years.
What really gets me is why exactly Social Security considered an entitlement. It's not like I'm asking the government for free money, just for the money I paid into it. And the odds I'll ever see that money again when I retire 35 years from now..
Bernie Madoff went to jail for doiong the exact same thing, only I guess it's worse when rich people are screwed.
