There are few constants in this world. There's Archimedes' constant, Hubble's constant, Planck's constant, and probably most constantly constant of all, Biden's constant: Where Joe Biden goes, stuff goes down in all the wrong ways:
A week ago, while in Vancouver enjoying the Olympics, Biden's motorcade was involved in a chain reaction crash. The incident began when a van carrying two Olympic athletes (figure-skater Peggy Fleming and the former bobsled champion Vonetta Flowers) in the vice presidents motorcade plowed into another vehicle preceding it in the motorcade. That vehicle then crashed into a third motorcade vehicle. The van that started the incident was so badly damaged that it could not be driven away from the accident scene.
The two athletes were treated at a local hospital and released, but as you'll recall this is not the first time Biden's motorcade has been involved in an accident. (Memo to the U.S. Speedskating heroes: I don't care if he's the vice president, if he offers you a ride just tell him you'll walk. Or skate.)
And that was just last week! This week, however, Biden is involved in a more threatening incident...
A man who authorities said apparently suffers from mental illness managed to breach security during the Olympics opening ceremony…Hold on, hold on, hold on! I know what you're thinking. That's not the part about Joe Biden. The part about Joe Biden is coming up…
A man who authorities said apparently suffers from mental illness managed to breach security during the Olympics opening ceremony and get close to U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, Canadian officials said Wednesday. Police apprehended him about 12 rows away from Biden's section, Lapointe said. He briefly escaped police custody, running into a nearby hallway, but was quickly recaptured, Royal Canadian Mounted Police Sgt. Gregory Gomez del Prado said.You see? Joe Biden doesn't even need to be personally involved, and stuff get's messed up. He's like a high voltage magnet and the whole world is a computer bank.
The man did not have any weapons on him and did not appear to have criminal intentions, Lapointe said. The man likely suffers from mental illness and won't face any criminal charges, Lapointe added.Great, as long as the man won't face criminal charges I feel much more reassured...
Stay tuned for next weeks episode of "Joe Biden: The Bermuda Triangle of Politicians"!

Whom ever gave the information about Peggy Fleming being a speed skater was incorrect. She was a former medalist, gold I believe, in figure skating. The other athlete I don't remember, but I believe also not a participant in the current winter games.
Also I don't think the Vice President deserves the title of the Bermuda Triangle Politician. He does make some comments that maybe he shouldn't have made, but assigning to a Triangle Politician is over the top.
If any politicians deserve this honor I believe it is the current Republican leaders in the Senate and House, McConnell, McCain, Kyle, Boehner, and Cantor.
