    Biden was the most inscrutable choice, ever, for VP. Instead of "change" Obama brought out an old hack, who had trouble with both truth telling, even during the campaign, and with inserting his foot into his mouth. Oh, to know what kind of negotiation that was, to get him on the ticket---except, perhaps to allay terrified old white guys who feared a woman and a (half)black man on the ticket would bring on the apocalypse. #joebiden

    apparently I am in the minority, but I love Joe Biden! I think he's like the lovable Steve Urkel of the White House. He comes in, says stupid stuff, knocks shit over, and is like "Did I do that?" Oh Joe. #joebiden

    Joe Biden is everything thats wrong and fucked up with congress. This dope won his seat in the Senate when he was 29 and has never had another job until being VP. He has learned about as much about how the country works from his perch in DC as Palin learned about Russia from staring at it. He is walking proof we need term limits.

    And he doesn't drink. I don't trust people who don't drink, unless they've already been alcoholics. #joebiden

    Why is it that I feel compelled to defend Gawker's subject matter against the editors/writers at least once a day lately?

    Either this new crop of staff writers is utterly fucked, or the editorial direction has taken a nosedive, or both.

    Is there some negative correlation between the quality of stories and the quality of AJAX/CSS? #joebiden

    @Motoko Kusanagi: From where I'm standing, it would appear to be a positive correlation. It's a good day when I get tripped up by fewer than five unresponsive scripts, infinite waits for comments to load or what have you. #joebiden

    @Motoko Kusanagi: Oh yeah, I didn't mean to quibble. I agree that the site gets fancier all the time, but features seem to break often. I should have added before that it could well be my OS and browser causing headaches most readers don't experience. And in all fairness, I haven't been reading long enough to judge contemporary content against the past. #joebiden

    Not sure what point you're trying to make, Amrita... that you think Cheney's worldview makes some sense? That Cheney was initially popular, before everything he did brought his popularity rating to a low of 28%? I love it that Biden is willing to call a moron a moron. This is a ridiculous post. #joebiden

    Oh, and if you're trying to poke fun at Vice Prez Biden for weeping during the debate when he spoke about his first wife and baby daughter who died, well then, that's just messed up. #joebiden

    I'm absolutely NOT a supporter of ANYTHING Dick says... but, Good Lawwd, Biden, Bin Laden will always BE a part of the issue. I'm sorry, I guess if you had the prez saying this I could understand... but, uh, Joe? Nope.

    That being said, why are we posting crap from Fox News anyway - I thought we weren't supposed to take this stuff seriously?

    I’ll never forget seeing Amanda Lepore at the Slide some years ago, where she was the MC for some amateur "dancing" contest. I think she was wearing stickers. Two of them.

    It was a DIFFA benefit at Jeffrey. I was there. Jason's cool, and hating on Amanda just shows you as fucking provincial.

    Yeah, Dan Savage is all, duh, reporters are gonna report, but all the mockery from his commentors.. it's kind of mean. Extended immigrant families like his from Taiwan have some powerful family ties and bonds. I've seen it before, my Asian friends' families are rather tight.. to the point of strangling, sometimes. And that's for the straight ones. Besides the immense pressure to succeed, I'm sure Wu had been doing a delicate dance there, and perhaps in the euphoria of his coup let down his guard a bit, didn't think about it.


    When I was at (his) art school, it was always the Asian students slaving away til midnight, every night. (I was gone by cocktail hour). Often their tuition was paid by the extended family pooling resources, and expecting extremely hard work and..fealty in return. It's complex, but it's not just yer Uncle Bob hearing it. Anyway, hope this turns out to be a good thing for him- and maybe for the family too. They should be nothing but extremely proud of him.

    @Baroness: Really? That educational experience sounds more like my father at MIT in the 60s than Asians at art school today. When I was at RISD, most of the Asians (not Asian American, like myself) came from extremely wealthy families, went to fancy boarding schools, and though most were equally as hard working (except for a handful of Korean girls who would rather shop and giggle in groups) as every other student.


    I don't see these familial bonds and pressure as playing a role in his coming out or lack thereof, from my experience (which again, is slightly different as I was born and raised in the U.S., but my extended family is in Taiwan) it's more of the generational and cultural barriers that is the problem. Who wants to explain to their grandma that lived through World War II that her grandson prefers penis? And yeah, they're all nosy as hell too. But I agree, it will probably turn out to be a good thing for him.

    @fuzzywhat: I hear you. My experience was twenty years ago, if that makes a difference.. I must say too that MIT is one thing.

    To send your kid to ART school at huge expense is another. There's a leap of faith there that perhaps for the kids I knew was added stress. They had more to prove perhaps, fashion is not like engineering, say. The kids I knew weren't wealthy, their immigrant parents often had small businesses in Queens.


    I felt great empathy for those kids-were they working in the library til midnight to avoid going home? They never took the time for fun, it seemed. But I'm sure they excelled at whatever they did in their career.

    Is it possible to "out" a fashion designer?


    Isn't that kind of like revealing that a Rastafarian smokes pot?
