Scholars Question Palin Credentials →
Best part is the last paragraph…p0wned!
Update: After reading this article, the McCain campaign issued the following statement: “The authors quote four scholars attacking Gov. Palin’s fitness for the office of Vice President. Among them, David Kennedy is a maxed out Obama donor, Joel Goldstein is also an Obama donor, and Doris Kearns Goodwin has donated exclusively to Democrats...
BREAKING: Sarah Palin Named Republican VP Nominee
McCain’s closest advisors ask, “Who the fuck is that?”
“You make a big election about small things.
And you know what - it’s worked...”
– Barack Obama, last night. I think this might have been the most powerful part of the speech for me. To become the president, he must overcome ignorance on the right, apathy on the left, and the cynicism that meets in the middle. (via alexblagg)
This city WORKS.
So after a long night at the office (read: drinking and doing other unmentionables until Barack’s speech, at which point I became emotionally mum and started to well up a bit), I decided to cab it back to my apartment in the East Village. Upon arrival, I saw 5 “punkish” looking folk setting up residence on my steps. This was unsettling to me, as I am far to big of a pussy to tell...
Please Don't Be Offended
I saw a slightly retarded man on the subway just now who could only be described as John Cusack playing a retarded man. John Cusack, if you’re out there, take the next mentally handicapped role you can find. If you do it half as well as this guy, you will win an Oscar.

“At present, we do not have any confirmed contracts for Chick-fil-A stores in New York City. New York City is a growth market for Chick-fil-A, and it is our hope that in the near future, we are able to build a Chick-fil-A store in New York.”
Fuck.
SUCKER! Pays to have friends who go to NYU. You know, the school with New York’s ONLY Chick-Fil-A. I feel your pain.
Actually,...

The Gawker rooftop just isn’t the Gawker rooftop without Kidder running around telling people not to step on the aluminum trim.
Amen to that, sister.

HOO-HA!
So I rabidly keep an eye on my followers, and this evening it dawned on me that someone was missing. That being said:
LEO, IT’S FUCKING ON! NEXT TIME I SEE YOUR ASS AT A MOTHERFUCKING PARTY I AM GOING TO BERATE YOU LIKE IT’S MY GOD-GIVEN JOB. WHEN I’M DONE WITH YOU, YOU’LL WISH YOU NEVER SIGNED UP FOR A FUCKING EMAIL ADDRESS, LET ALONE A TUMBLR ACCOUNT. MAY CHRIST ALMIGHTY...
TUMBLR FIGHT?!
I am jealous that everyone is fighting via blog except for me. Anybody want to start some shit?
That's not fair. →

My "Best" (?) Friend Eileen Fails to Recognize...
Mary just called me from a party, laughing hysterically. Apparently, this is the conversation she just had (BEST. AWKWARD. PARTY. CONVO. EVER.) -
Girl at Party: What do you do?
Mary: I'm a blogger. I work for myself.
Girl at Party: Just don't be Julia Allison about it.
Mary [starts laughing]: Actually, she's my business partner.
Girl at Party: Oh no, you're not a part of NonSociety, are you?
Mary [laughs harder]: I'm one of the founders.
Girl at Party [turns to host, totally serious]: Who are you FRIENDS with??
Girl at Party: [drunken laughter] my best friend is James, he did NomSociety.
Mary: We love that video.
Girl at Party: Well, yeah, I love Gawker, oh shit, I'm sorry.
Mary: Have fun at your day job. Excuse me, I have to make a phone call.
I added a few more details. This chick was hysterical. She tried so hard to be nice, but she was too drunk to be strategic. It's the best party conversation I've had in a long time! Rach, your birthday was the best!!

Learned this lesson when a friend of mine went to a party out in SF: They don’t give a shit about you til you’ve written something. Preferably something about them. Definitely works on me.
I still don’t get it.
THUNDER ROAD
Thunder in NYC rocks balls, moreso than regular thunder. Besides making everyone inexplicably excited and antsy, it also bounces off all of the buildings, making every hit roll through the streets. Fucking awesome.
Day is done, gone the sun.

Yep, it’s blocked. Luckily I’m out of the office for the next two days with my trusty laptop. But Come Monday, to turn Jimmy Buffett on his head, it WON’T be alright.
And I can’t view ANY Tumblrs directly either.
I am way more upset about this than I would like to admit. Goodbye, cruel world.
(sobbing)
Not the end of the world. You can follow the Tumblrs you like via Google...

- Mr. Rambow, when informed of a youngster’s planned prank at tonight’s Media Meshing. Those crazy kids. Us olds were jaded afore it was cool! Get out of our collective conceptual yards!
I’m hereby raising the Prank-Terrorist Threat Level to Red, meaning a prank is imminent and all revelers should be on guard....
Fake Sex Diaries of the Internet Famous →
For anyone who read’s Daily Intel’s Sex Diaries, this is a not so subtle look at the sex lives of internet “celebrities,” and it looks like Rex Sorgatz gets the first treatment.

Wherein I shit talk Rhapsody
So a few months ago, I went to a Rhapsody press party for the launch of their new mp3 store. I’ve always though Rhapsody’s subscription service is a pretty unique one, and adding an mp3 store that works with all different kinds of mp3 players/programs should only be a good thing. Or so I thought.
At this party I was given a gift certificate for 5 albums. I’ve spent the better...

How many yokels you think saw the headline “Russia Invades Georgia” and assumed Atlanta was under siege?

I have heard Estelle’s American Boy no fewer than 4 times today in various forms. Easily the song of the summer.
