You are all commanded to give some page view love to Pareene’s first weekend in the barrel. He’s just put up three great posts, the first time Gawker has produced three consecutively excellent items since Christ left Pittsburgh.
The same point I have been making. Pareene on Levi’s mom:
This is a sad and not-at-all entertaining story of broke-ass bored trashy people in a...

Mice get blame for fire that massacred 100 cats →
stopwhispering:
The $250,000 fire is still under investigation by the Ontario Fire Marshal’s office, but shelter manager Ruby Richards said preliminary reports indicate it started in the ceiling and may – a sad irony for the cats – have been sparked by mice chewing through electrical wires.
Payback is a bitch.

What’s great about these videos is how they are a wry commentary on humor and irony. The essence of irony is to laugh at something that isn’t funny. What is happening? The baby is laughing about tearing a piece of paper. Is that funny? Who cares, the baby is in hysterics. And that becomes funny itself - not...
Bristol Palin's Baby Daddy's Mom Arrested on Drug... →
(via frangry)
Let’s see… Bristol is due in two days, Levi’s mom is under arrest and charged with “six felony counts of misconduct involving a controlled substance.” It just keeps getting better.
The Palins are a one-stop shopping reality show. People look at this family and see themselves. That explains her initial appeal, before she started serving up word salad to...

Ouch. But, true!
In a carefully controlled strategy reminiscent of the vice-presidential hopeful Sarah Palin, aides to Caroline Kennedy interrupted her on Wednesday and whisked her away when she was asked what her qualifications are to be a United States senator.
In her first public appearance since letting it be known that wants to succeed Hillary Rodham Clinton, Ms. Kennedy...

An Idol covers Cohen, but not “Hallelujah.” A lot of Cohen songs are likely Idol material, but not this one, not by a long shot, so kudos. (via jaimeleighfairbrother)
I couldn’t get the video to work, but I hope it does for everybody else. Thanks Barthel, this is the girl and the song. Jenny Gear—I don’t know what she’s doing...

We All Got Boring
caro:
From here and here:
The New York apartments and lofts which were once the scenes of old-fashioned drunken carnage — slurred speech, broken crockery, broken legs and arms, broken marriages and broken dreams — are now the scene of parties where both friendships and glassware survive intact. Everyone comes on time, behaves well, drinks a little wine, eats a few tiny canapés, and leaves on...
