Yes, we’re biased, but “Diamond” Joe Biden is one of The Onion’s best creations, a Trans Am-driving, hard-partying ladykiller who, by all accounts, is the complete opposite of our actual vice president. That doesn’t matter, as The Onion’s Biden is a lot more popular than the real guy, as his exploits have been some of the most-read articles over at our sister site.

With election season over, it might be expected that the Biden beat has slowed down, but today The Onion is releasing a lengthy Kindle single called The President Of Vice: The Autobiography Of Joe Biden. Diamond Joe’s also doing a Reddit “Ask Me Anything” today at 3 p.m. eastern time, which should be pretty great. Just don’t ask him to go into too much detail about that time he needed to stay away from D.C.
