Clarified on 09/11/09: An earlier version of this story implied that the vice president personally looked forward to seeing his picture in the lobby of federal buildings. The vice president's office is looking forward to seeing the pictures.

There's been a lot of chatter in federal agencies that the official picture of Vice President Joe Biden has gone AWOL, missing from its place beside President Obama. But there's no conspiracy to hide Joe. It just took a bit longer to get his picture printed, and now it's showing up in federal buildings. The veep's office, says a spokeswoman, looks "forward to seeing it up in many more lobbies soon."

Biden's picture

They had to wait until they found someone skilled with an airbrush who could fill in all the missing hair from the cornrows of implanted hair. That takes REAL SKILL, unlike the bozo underneath the hair.

We don't have the President's picture

My husband's Homeland Security - Citizenship and Immigration office does not even have President Obama's picture displayed! We have voiced our utter dismay directly to the White House on whitehouse.gov. I think this is inexcusable and needs to be corrected immediately. I would like to know if there are other federal offices that have failed to show respect to the office of the Presidency of the United States.

I hope it doesn't have ashes

By wearing ashes on his forehead, Biden may show he gives first allegiance to the Code of Canon Law and not the U.S. Constitution he swore to preserve, defend and protect. Luckily, he is Pro Choice, but we must be sure he stays that way and keeps Roe v Wade intact. It seems to me his ashes display is like a Muslim lawmaker wearing a sword of Islam lapel pin, or a Jewish lawmaker wearing a Shield of David button. Religion has no place in civil government. All holy books say males are superior to females. The Bible has Leviticus saying homosexuals should be killed.Genesis lies and says a male created everything, but only females do create new life. Religion is not respectable or honorable.
