Spotted in downtown St. Paul today: this charming little hound with a very special present for John McCain.

Why should New York get all the fun of alternatively laughing at and lusting after barely dressed coked-out hip kids? That was the question posed by the good people at Garutachi, an indie dance party frequented by people who look better but have significantly worse judgment than you. Last weekend, they threw an underwear party, offering free Sparks to anyone bold enough to strip down on their way in. Gawker’s own Nikola Tamindzic was in town, and he was kind enough to stop by the party and take a couple pictures. His own NSFW gallery is available here. Our gallery, with the usual snide remarks, is below. We would’ve gone to it ourselves, but we were busy that night sitting at home with a bottle of rye. MORE »

Where is Drudge with that fucking siren!?! Okay, everyone: Deep breath. The panda cam (at Animal Planet, where they don’t LIMIT YOU to 15 minutes like some Zoos I know) is down. What is Butterstick doing? We don’t know! Is he tumbling down his rock pile? Contemplating his paws? Humping the cage bars? Possibly pushing cute beyond previously known boundaries? THERE IS NO WAY TO TELL. FUCK YOU NATIONAL ZOO WHAT KIND OF MONSTERS ARE YOU!!!!! MORE »

We were very excited to see the details of the sex harassment suit filed against a Fox News executive, but those looking for another loofa will be disappointed. No falafel porn, just some PG-13 office cursing, the most ribald of which was his comment that “a pregnant woman had ‘tits’ that were ‘f—ing huge’ and like ‘cannons’ or ‘melons.’” Well, were they? Isn’t truth a complete defense? Maybe that’s something else. In any case, Fox only disputes one detail in the case:

The EEOC says that Chillemi use the phrase “as useless as tits on a bull” in front of women. Mintz said that’s not the precise language. The phrase isn’t ‘as useless as tits on a bull’;  it’s ‘as useless as teats on a bull’. It’s something that’s useless. It’s not a sexual commment.”

Oh, please. What a pussy. MORE »
