I'm interested in new ways to tell news stories and in the ethical and political ramifications of word choices (terrorist surveillance program, domestic spying or something in between?).

Biden being Biden

Here's an interesting quote from Sen. Joe Biden, announcing his bid for the White House:

I’m going to be Joe Biden, and I’m going to try to be the best Biden I can be.

Still, he's no Flavor Flav when it comes to this sort of self-referential talk.
