The heartbreaking message of this Washingtonian item is that journalists who marry each other are doomed to sell their ramshackle houses for only $1.75 million, but reporters who “marry up” can buy $2.95-million houses. MORE »
Are you sick of Bushes yet? Because today’s New York Observer brings us yet another one: Miss Ashley Walker* Bush, Debutard.
Like the rest of the umpteenth generation of Bushes, she suffers a bit from over-breeding, as well as that insane insistence on mentioning Texas, how she’s from Texas, how she lives in Texas, and how Southern she is in every sentence.
Oh, and guess what guys — her escort was Pierce. You can read the NYO piece for the exciting play-by-play account of the “Texas Dip” curtsey (illegal in nine states!), we’ll try to explain why you needn’t be too worried about Pierce and Ashley just yet.
The forums at Late Night Shots have been fizzling out lately. They’ve started censoring themselves, and the posters are listless. Spelling still stumps them, however, and just last week someone declared that “Carmen Santiago” was the second best computer game. You don’t know what you’ve got til’ it’s gone, huh? Intern Lauren learns about internet censorship, why ethnic names are bad names, and what charity is really for, after the jump.
Welcome to this week’s installment of Last Week’s Shots, our new feature that takes you inside the invitation-only social networking site Late Night Shots. LNS is exclusive because when you’ve been given every advantage in life, you have uncommonly developed interests and problems, like cocaine. Plus, you’re just so smart that regular people are, well, embarrassing. Intern Lauren brings you her best ethnographic fieldwork on what to do if you accidentally rape your girlfriend, uglies, and UVA’s Greek Culture.
The constructivist and the relativist, after the jump.
This ballot’s obviously outdated. The corrected ones read “Violent Closet Homosexual Adulterous Republican.” MORE »
Welcome to the Wonkette’s newest (and already beloved) feature, Last Week’s Shots — the best of the exclusive Late Night Shots forums. Last week’s post was a huge success, and we’re sure our partnership will continue to bring forth joy and laughter for all involved. As she cherry picks our favorite website, Intern Lauren warns that the children of America’s elite are not to be underestimated. We all remember Loomis Chaffee alum and MTV VJ Jesse Camp, right?
The Fop, the Rake and the beating heart of white supremacy, after the jump.
As we’re sure you know by now, Late Night Shots is a closed social networking site for DC’s best and whitest. We turbos have a lot to learn from them. Their message board is home to some of the best entertainment on all the internets — but because of the closed nature of the site, not everyone can join in the fun. Thankfully, Intern Lauren is a card-carrying LNS member, and she’s gathered excerpts from some of last week’s best posts on the LNS forum. See what the fuss is about, after the jump.
Is it possible for one brief message board exchange to explain the entire culture and mindset of the Washington Douchebag? To succinctly illustrate everything about them worth ridiculing? If so, this Late Night Shots dialogue might be the motherlode: MORE »
