"Gawker is laying off 19 people"
I can't say I feel bad for any of them. Writing about "web-lebrities" can't possibly be a real job.
After Biden's remark during the debate, agreeing with Sarah Palin, about gay marriage (and echoing Obama) being between one man and one woman and that's the way it should stay, that SoHo gay fundraiser oughta be a lot of fun!
Biden said he was against gay marriage, but he didn't say he was against a little 'peeka peeka'.
marriage/civil union
A rose by any other name is still a rose.
lol @ the leg "popping" out of a suitcase
Oh yea, I can't wait for the youtube videos of Biden in SoHo doing more side-stepping than a room full of line dancers! I may have to show up to ensure adequate footage.
