Thursday's blatant character assassination of Greg Kelly's rape accuser masquerading as a newspaper cover can either be explained by the New York Post's profound commitment to misogyny, the NYPD, News Corp, or all of the above. But the paper's response to criticisms of their coverage reflects a piercing hatred for basic literacy and is a new low, even for the Limbo of tabloids. more ›

As expected, Mitt Romney soundly beat Newt Gingrich in the Nevada caucuses yesterday, no thanks to Donald Trump, who endorsed the candidate on Thursday. According to an extremely scientific poll of Nevada Facebook users, just 9.6% thought it had a positive affect on Romney, 41.4% voted "negative," and 49% voted "neither." In other equally important polling news, Rasmussen finds that Santorum beats Obama if you sample 12% of the electorate, and a certain cat has outsourced his way to impending victory. more ›

Queens Congressman Gary Ackerman is demanding that Florida Republican and Tea Party Patriot Rep. Allen West apologize for comparing the Democratic Party to Nazis. “This is exactly the type of rhetoric that turns people off to Washington and getting involved in politics,” Ackerman tells the Daily News. “I call on Republicans and Democrats alike to join me in demanding an apology." Aw, c'mon. What did West say that was so offensive? "If Joseph Goebbels was around, he’d be very proud of the Democrat Party, because they have an incredible propaganda machine." Fighting "propaganda" with anti-semitic propaganda: do we have a new GOP presidential frontrunner on our hands? more ›

A cook at the Roger Smith Hotel in Midtown is suing the boutique inn for $35 million dollars after two employees dressed up as Ku Klux Klan members and taunted him in two separate incidents. Julius Jones, who is black, states in court documents obtained by the Daily News that a painter allegedly approached him last year donning a "pure white cone-shaped article on his head," and said, "Hey, look at me. I am the Ku Klux Klan." more ›

At the Securities and Exchange Commission, it seems that totally dropping the ball on Bernard Madoff's massive is not a fire-able offense. The Wall Street Journal reports, "Eight Securities and Exchange Commission employees have been disciplined over their handling of the $50 billion Bernard Madoff Ponzi scheme, but none were fired, an agency spokesman said Friday. A ninth individual left the agency after receiving notice of a proposed disciplinary action, according to the spokesman." more ›

Now that homosexuals can get married in New York, pedophilia is on the rise, says a fringe Hasidic group in Brooklyn that's launching an "awareness campaign" to save the children from gay married molesters. The Hasidic watchdog blog Failed Messiah, which recently broke news about a series of Yiddish street signs telling women to step aside for men, reports that the group wants signs put up in all-male mikvehs warning of the dangers. more ›

One of the men reportedly zapped by 59-year-old Larry McKelvey's stun gun at last Sunday's Jets game claims that McKelvey "jabbered" during the moment of silence for 9/11 victims, and badmouthed George W. Bush, in addition to sitting during the national anthem. "It was the most disrespectful thing I have ever seen," 46-year-old Ian Cummings told the Daily News. McKelvey allegedly used his stun gun (not to ever be confused with the trademarked name of a completely DIFFERENT type of weapon that pumps electrical current into human bodies) to shock Cummings, a former Marine and a third man, before being subdued by the crowd. more ›

Sometimes Fox News personality Megyn Kelly says stuff like, "A man beats a 100 pound woman into a coma over a parking space. He claims she deserves it. Could he be right?" And sometimes, like today, she says stuff like, "The United States is the only country in the advanced world that doesn't require paid maternity leave. Now I happen to work for a nice employer that gave me paid leave. But the United States is the only advanced country that doesn't require paid leave. If anything, the United States is in the dark ages when it comes to maternity leave. And what is it about carrying a baby for nine months, that you don't think deserves a few months off so bonding and recovery can take place, hmm?" Megyn Kelly: Full of surprises. more ›

A 79-year-old man has been charged with sexual assault after exhibiting lewd behavior in front of children at a Somers Point New Jersey lemonade stand. According to The AP, Alan Easterbgy "repeatedly rubbed his breast and groin" after purchasing lemonade from three 14-year-old girls. When a resident approached the stand, Easterbgy fled in his truck. Police found him at his home, where he was arrested on Thursday night. Presumably it was easy to report the crime, because the girls were selling lemonade across the street from the police station. more ›

According to the Times, it is often hard for lawyers to prosecute domestic violence cases, because 75 percent of the time, the women who were victimized stop helping prosecutors, often after speaking to the men accused of abusing them. Thankfully, prosecutors have one thing going for them: wifebeaters like to brag, and they are really, really dumb about it. more ›

Some enterprising young drug hustlers make objectively saavy moves, but others make some pretty dumb ones.

The Hershey candy company is under fire for producing a breath mint candy that police say is hard to distinguish from an illegal drug. Philadelphia cops are complaining that a new iteration of Hershey's Ice Breakers product looks a lot like crack cocaine.

The person who hung a noose on the doorknob of a professor at Columbia's Teachers College the other week seems to have been a catalyst for NY metro idiots, who have been been copy-cating or otherwise emulating public displays of hateful symbols. Most recently, Parks Dept. employees were appalled to find 10" nooses wrapped around the necks of their clothes when they opened their work lockers in Queens Saturday morning. more ›

Many people are abuzz about New York band A Brief Smile's recent interview on 92.3's morning show. The band went on the "JV and Elvis Show" to do an interview and have their song played. Instead they got called "gay" in every way possible, over and over again, and eventually the "pansy" bassist got kicked out of the on-air room. From the band's MySpace blog: more ›

We're at the home stretch! Sunday was a bit of a quieter day for us, but by no means did the music disappoint. The plan was to make it a short day and get back to civilization that night, but due to some travel miscalculations we ended up sticking around till they kicked us out. Very glad we did. more ›
