About Me
- Name: Ladrón de Basura (a.k.a. Junk Thief)
- Location: San Francisco, California, United States
JunkThief is your typical Gallic Jew boy born on the Great Plains, went to Gotham and Ouagadougou and Kathmandu before settling in San Francisco's Mission District. Now he searches the dark alleys of that city to find good conversation, Weimar culture and (but of course) the perfect door knob.

That same question provided one of the funnier scenes in "Good Night and Good Luck".
My question is; who is Liberace's equivalent today? Parameters must include: said person needs to be genuinely talented at something and not just famous for being a flaming stereotype.
This excludes many people right off the bat.
Rich - I was going to say Clay Aiken, but then your parameter nipped that one in the bud.
Actually, I'm curious if you've been keeping up with what's been happening with the new mayor up here. It's an interesting, multifaceted story, and an often annoying one at that, for a number of reasons.
Rich - Well, yes, I do know about it through the blog Joe.My.God. Apparently they kissed when the guy was 17, went to stage 2 at 18. As in many cases, I ask, WWLD (What Would Liberace Do?).
Hard to get married when you're dead and buried.
WAT - Oh, if I'd be able to benefit from his estate, I'd marry him in a heartbeat.
This poor TV Guide is just too precious.
Liberace's equivalent today? Anderson Cooper? George Clooney?
Does he have to be genuinely gay? If so, that might leave Georgie Girl out of the running.
Joe - Hmm, I'm getting images of Anderson in his late 50s performing a glittering suit in Vegas, interviewing Celine Dion or Barry Manilow after so much Botox makes it impossible to see if his lips are moving.
