Datalounge, the famously bitchy gay message board, has apparently banned all political discussion. This race is tearing this nation apart! Many gays like Hillary Clinton because she is campy, but others like Barack Obama because he is attractive. Now no one can like either of them and that's final. Selections from the thread announcing the new policy, including the stunning revelation that the webmaster donated to Obama, attached.

Ah, Philly, our sister city of brotherly love, or something like that. Once, for an incredibly brief and misguided period of time, it was considered our sixth borough.

Do you enjoy being a slave to fat cats who take credit for anything you do? Miramax is a special place for those with extremely low self-esteem, who are clueless about what they really want to do, and will settle for anything. Are you a filmmaker whose film opened in Sundance in 1991, which Miramax bought, and has yet to release? Are you friends with Gwyenth Paltrow? They even have offices on both sides of the coast, so you can surf or ski!"

David Patrick Columbia's Social Diary oils all over last night's Drama League benefit, but forget the text and look at the pictures. Over at the Data Lounge, nasty posters are playing spot the biggest freak. The most popular picks: the Weils and Topsy Taylor. I refuse to believe these are real people.
