September 2009
Was going through some stuff and came upon this tag. Among my favorites. I was in a mood that morning.
And there goes the public option →

(via squashed)
Wrong.
This was Schumer’s public option amendment that failed; it was more or less a weather balloon for the Senate vote. It picked up votes over Rockefeller’s. They picked up two votes between the two amendments, and both Schumer and Rockefeller are going to “band together” to push the press line that the math on this makes the chances for...

“Principal,” Kramer. “Principal.”

The intention of comedy, Andrew. I know how to spell Marc Zuckerberg’s name.
I thought Foster’s last name was “Kramer” for, like, months.
You and everyone else. Even my high school principle, when giving me my diploma at graduation. I was lucky the rabbi who bar-mitzvah’d me got it right. Among the media’s guilty: Gawker commenters, BlackBook...

Foster taught me everything I know about tag related humor, and the entire post is made 100% worth it by the last picture in the gallery.
1. Gawker legalperson Gaby, everyone. NICE.
2. Correct.

God. Mark Zuckerburg is the MAN.

– Foster, will you write a book jacket blurb for me? (via fimoculous)
Funny you should ask. I’ve been working on one. It’s in the form of a list, and each bullet point is footnoted. Also, there’s an exposed HTML tag. We’re goin’ on some next level shit, here.

Why isn’t this blog post about Roman Polanski?
youngmanhattanite:
Foster, did you really write that? And then delete it? In addition to churlish, it’s also…SHADY.
Guess what: sometimes, I’m shady. And I’ll fuckin’ relish it. We all are. Better to get it out there, though, right? You should see all the _________ I’m ___ing and ___ing on _______.

Is he trying to give Gawker a stroke? Wait, dumb question.
(via skybarn)
Doesn’t Gawker like to go after Mediaite? Something like this will give them more of a boner than a stroke. Wait. Um, what I meant was, uh…

Not necessarily. We “go after” (if by...
As I've been blogging for something like 9 years,...
dailyhuff:
There are plenty of folks who’ve been at it longer, but compared to the steaming, heaving mass of Internet users today, I’m still a grandpa, blogging-wise.
As a result, I have a lot of classically bloggy views of things, like the media. I still regularly think of them as the MSM, or mainstream media, and have typically critical thoughts along those lines.
Then it hit me this morning...
“I guess we should’ve brought up “Young Forever” earlier, and...”
– Wow. How did it take me this long to read Pitchfork’s incredible panning of Blueprint 3? So good. So, so good. And spot-on.
Sorta wish I could be reborn as a girl so that I could have the opportunity to express myself with music. I think I would start by taking piano lessons at a young age, then possibly learn the guitar. I would try my best to have a ‘good voice’, but eventually I would want more than a ‘good voice’–I would want to have a humble, approachable voice that could fill up coffee shops and let the world...

Also worth reading: Rachel Shukert’s take on BBYO conventions. Anybody who grew up Jewish and was in a Jewish youth group received far more oral sexin’ than they Goyim peers. Fact. I’ve written about the phenomenon of Jewish Youth Groups as criminal rackets here.
The most community service I ever saw happen in BBYO was the taking...

If you’re so concerned about the conflict of interest Dan Abrams has between his two companies, be a good journalist and ask him yourself.
Or you could simply do what Gawker usually does: don’t ask him, speculate and come up with whatever makes for a good story.
Abrams refuses to disclose the list of Abrams Research clients. If I ran a consulting business, I wouldn’t, either....

Don’t try and point fingers at other people when you’re as completely full of shit as they are.
Not true. Example!
Institutionally: my boss fesses up when shadiness occurs, apologizes for it, and pledges not to let it happen again (read: Bloodcopy). The guy you write for has yet to acknowledge or answer for the shadiness that’s at the foundation of his ownership of his...

Gawker’s rule seems to be post first, ask questions later. Right, Foster?
Anthony, I’ve got no idea what the fuck you’re talking about in relation to the Justine Bateman thing, or why you’re singling me out, but now, you’re just being a jackass, and not even a cute one.
As far as asking questions later, Gawker’s rule is to blog: it’s not a...

Eric Dane and Rebecca Gayheart sue Gawker Media for (apply pinky to corner of lips) ONE MILLION DOLLARS!
“We put a call in and emailed Gawker — so far, no response.”
I was going to put out a PR statement on behalf of the site—since Gabriel’s out of town, and all—but they put the kibbosh on that real fast.

Damn, Andrea Rosen. If only you’d written the Gawker book.

So by that logic (the quality of my birthday parties is directly related to the quality of the respective years they precede), I would like to have a really terrific party this year that includes good people, responsible choices and maybe a PO5 viewing party if me and 1,462 other losers finally have our voices heard by Hollywood.
Okay, two things:

Basically, yes.

I’ve been telling Jolie she should start a weekly feature to highlight Internet postings that induce the mighty eye roll. (Call them “The Rolies” or something.) The only issue is limiting the number of Brian Van and Foster mentions.
Incidentally, The Rolies would win the first Rolie. #META_BRO
So I Know What The Big Gizmodo Rollout Tonight Is
And I’m sorry if this ruins the surprise for you, but Gawker Media’s been working on perfecting this tech for a while. What do you think all the trips to Hungary were for?
I mean, what kind of salad are we talking about,...
BT: Right! Tina Brown. Would you rather eat a salad out of Tina Brown’s vagina or have sex with Art Cooper’s corpse?
ES: I have to choose? I can’t do both? You know I’m a media whore.
BT: No.
ES: I’ll suppose I’ll have to pick Art Cooper because if I picked Tina, I’d probably have to read a Thursday Times of London column ...

I’ve never liked men. I like guys.
Guys are often in between things like jobs and houses, which means they’re more likely to stay up with you all night, drinking wine and playing gin rummy. They’ll rub your belly. They’ll lick chocolate off it. They’ll like your cute little dog. A guy is never going to shoot Old Yeller in the woods.
Then again, guys don’t remember to tell you the doctor’s...
