    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

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

    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?

    Danny was my first gay crush on a gay man, and an amazing awakening for a closeted gay boy who only ever knew about the stereotypical flamers.

    Then a couple years ago I saw him at Eastern Bloc sitting on the bench groping cute boys like an old man at a strip club and the charm wore off.

    Lost in some other thread were my thoughts. I am saying this for some other Gawkers who know: If you could choose to be that way and end that way, would you? Of course not.

    Hope all the "you have a choice" people have perfect lives. Good luck.

    @PikaDar Brisetout: I get your drift--don't throw stones from a glass house--but I would sincerely like some advice on this. I am troubled about a relative I love dearly who is travelling a path of self-destruction (as I judge the situation). I've been to the [fill-in-the-blank]-Anon meetings where folks in similar circumstances counsel each other to let go and let the destruction happen. And I've sat and wondered why I haven't done more already to help this relative make better choices. So, am I naive/judging/pathetic to believe that I/someone/some people should step in and strongly encourage this person to consider a different path? (Wow, I just read my last sentence and realized I sound like I'm writing a three-hankie episode of "Intervention.") So, here I am asking your personal advice for me, when it's really not about me, is it? Or is it?

    I guess it *is* about you and how you feel in terms of the possiblility of changing someone. One can only help so much. At least this is my experience.

    DJs never really strike me as someone with a talent worth making money over. Sorry if that offends anyone, but that's just my own personal feeling.

    @Botswana Meat Commission FC: No, it's really not. I used to have a set of turntables that I played with in my spare time... it is NOT easy to mix music cleanly. You need to have impeccable timing, an informal but basic knowledge of harmonic structure, and also really thorough knowledge of the music that you are playing. A DJ doesn't just mix music... he controls the mood of a party. Different genre, but DJs like Oakenfold or Van Dyk can change the mood of the dancefloor just by shifting the key of the music. It is pretty complex stuff that takes a lot of practice.
