So it's not quite as cool as the picture of Vice President Biden bonding with a group of bikers, but on Friday the veep hammed it up for pictures at Mars' Cheese Castle in Kenosha, Wis. According to the White House pool report, the shop actually looks like a castle "with drawbridge chains and all" and includes statues of mice eating cheese. Biden was given a tour by general manager Tyson Wehrmeister, who excited the vice president at the thought of a 13-year-old sharp cheddar. "Wait, wait, no no no, where?" Biden asked. "I'm going to get some."
