Biden definitely having more fun today than his boss -


JOE BIDEN
Biden To Open O's-Yankees Game
By Debbi Wilgoren
Vice President Biden will toss out the ceremonial first pitch for the Baltimore Orioles' season opener today against the New York Yankees, the White House announced this morning.

The game at Orioles Park at Camden Yards is scheduled to start at 4:05 p.m., moments before the Washington Nationals face off against the Florida Marlins in Miami.

The 68-year-old Biden, who played baseball as well as football in high school, will be joined at the pitcher's mound by eight boys and girls from the Baltimore Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities (RBI) League, a Major League Baseball program to develop participation and interest in youth baseball in urban areas. The program is funded by the league and the Baltimore Orioles Charitable Foundation.

Biden to greet returning troops at Bragg
Posted: Today at 10:29 a.m.

FORT BRAGG, N.C. — Vice President Joe Biden and his wife plan to visit Fort Bragg Wednesday to welcome the XVIII Airborne Corps on its return from Iraq.
The XVIII Airborne Corps assumed command of Multi-National Corps-Iraq on Feb. 14, 2008. As the operational headquarters for more than 158,000 ground troops assigned to three Army Divisions, one Marine Expeditionary Force, three Coalition Divisions and several separate brigades, the corps’ mission was to defeat extremist groups, provide security for the Iraqi people and to develop the Iraqi Security Forces and the Iraqi Government’s capacity.
The corps, which has been deployed to Iraq twice since 2006, completed its mission on Saturday, relinquishing command of Multi-National Corps-Iraq to I Corps of Fort Lewis, Wash.
Biden's visit will be his second trip to North Carolina in a week. Last Wednesday, he stopped in Duplin and Wayne counties to demonstrate how the federal economic stimulus program is benefiting rural communities.

And unless he says "A", we'll probably never hear about either events.
