In case you were wondering what Charles Grodin thought about Post columnist Phil Mushnick's Jay-Z-Brooklyn Nets musings ("Why the Brooklyn Nets when they can be the New York N------s? The cheerleaders could be the Brooklyn B----hes or Hoes."), today is your lucky day. The actor writes in his Daily News column, "I know Phil Mushnick. He is a friend of mine, and he is the opposite of a bigot. He is a satirist and satire can easily be misunderstood." more ›

On Tuesday, the NY Post ran an article about NJ Governor Chris Christie's visit to Israel with the headline, "The whale in the wall." It was classic Post, but it was still too much for former NJ Governor and current State Senator Richard Codey. more ›

Recently, the NY Post reported on the "breaking and entering" practices of Bronx-based non-profit organization Picture the Homeless. The tabloid followed Picture the Homeless member, Andres Perez, as he taught a course in "homesteading" at Arlington Village, an East New York housing complex. The article questioned the group's funding, while also characterizing NYC homeless as prostitutes and drug addicts. Today, homeless advocates held a press conference outside the Post's office, slamming the tabloid while demanding the "real story" of homelessness in NYC be told. more ›

Yesterday, the man who brought us Rachel Uchitel, golf superstar Tiger Woods, won his first PGA tournament since the November 2009 car crash that turned out to be prompted by Woods' infidelities. So the NY Post put Woods on the cover, with the headline, "LOOK OUT, LADIES." Which is kinda boring ever since the classic "I'M A CHEETAH" of December 2009. more ›

While the Daily News apparently got the scoop on Ruth Madoff's move to Greenwich, Connecticut, the Post is making an attempt to put itself back at the front of the Mrs. Madoff pack by publishing this amazing photograph of her dragging her garbage can with the headline: "Ruth Madoff’s trashy new life." more ›

The front page of the New York Post today is all about a pastry chef whose show, "Dessert First," was canceled because her recipes were allegedly not so fresh. STOP THE PRESSES! Headline: "Food Network's 'Dessert First' star axed in recipe-copy flap: sources." The sources, as usual, are unidentified, and the "exclusive" is actually based on a single source, not plural sources, but why get bogged down in trivial details when you can lead with: "This puff-pastry princess is a purported plagiarist"? We don't want to egg on the Post, but this whipped-up scandal seems a little half-baked! more ›

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 ›

The man whose violent spree inspired the Post's most famous headline, "Headless Body in Topless Bar," is trying to get released from prison. The Post reports, "Charles Dingle, 53, will ask a three-person parole panel this week to free him from the upstate Wende Correctional Facility near Buffalo." more ›

Chaos reigned this afternoon when hackers took over the Huffington Post's Twitter feed, sending out a series of racist, homophobic, and anti-English tweets to their 1.5 million followers. And they seem to be fans of the New York Post, writing, "Sup bitches? Hacked by: New York Post" and "New York Post rules!!!" Huff Post were able to quickly take their account back and delete all the offensive tweets, but you can see them all lovingly preserved below. And in a cruel twist of fate, Ashton Kutcher's Twitter account was also hacked around the same time. Is this what the Mayans have been going on about for centuries? more ›

Mere mortals shudder when the NY Post locks its piercing gaze upon them—for like the eye of Sauron, the Post's "wrath blaze[s] like a sudden flame." And the Post's favorite targets, other than dreadlocked OWS protesters, are phonies. But they especially hate panhandling phonies—and today, their terrible eye landed upon a woman who they say has falsely claimed to be pregnant for the last 13 months. more ›

Over the weekend, a New York Post reporter risked her life staying in Zuccotti Park and wrote that it is "quickly becoming one of the most dangerous places in New York City." Now, the tabloid has discovered shocking news that Occupy Wall Street has events planned through 2025! This leaderless, rag-tag group of smelly "vagabonds" have a tightly regimented schedule that they will surely follow 14 years from now! more ›

According to the NY Post, an Occupy Wall Street protester had a temper tantrum in the McDonald's near Zuccotti Park yesterday, after employees allegedly refused to give him free food. Fisika Bezabeh, 27, allegedly ripped a credit-card reader from a counter and threw it at workers just after 2 a.m. last night (could he have an relation to boxer Fasika Bezabeh?). However, the Post specifies that Bezabeh was only "seen hanging out" with protesters, so it's unclear whether he actually is part of OWS, or just one of a growing number of rabble rousers who have descended upon Zuccotti to stir up trouble and inspire some fun headlines for the rag. more ›

Mayor Bloomberg keeps insisting that Occupy Wall Street protesters down at Zuccotti Park are bad for tourism and worse for local businesses. We've heard about some business owners complaining, but the Post has now found several more willing to go on record with their gripes. And based on their newest, grouchiest anti-OWS editorial, it makes total sense why they would bring their complaints to the Post! more ›

We love the NY Post for their priceless headlines as well as the fact that they let comedians write their news columns. But then they send out things like the above tweet, and it really makes us question our devotion to grabbing a free tattered copy of the rag from the garbage every day. more ›

With the tenth anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks coming up, the Post caught up with a woman who was featured on a cover back in 2001 while holding a photograph of her fiance, slain in the World Trade Center. That woman is Rachel Uchitel, better known as Tiger Woods's former mistress. Uchitel said of James Andrew O’Grady's passing, "I believe Andy was meant to die because he was too good." I’m almost happy it ended the way it did because I’ve learned so many lessons from him. It would have been tragic if we got into fights and then divorced." more ›

Last night Stephen Colbert took a moment to analyze yesterday's NY Post cover, which featured a woman in a red dress seductively smoking a cigarette next to the headline "Crazy stox like a hooker's drawers, UP, DOWN, UP." As Colbert explains, it makes perfect sense, and he thinks more NY Post covers should explore this prostitute/"drawers" analogy: more ›

Sex surveys have kept us reaching for the Cosmopolitan nearly every time we go to the dentist. If you don't know how much mind-blowing sex other people are having, you will never have any yourself (that's science!). So naturally, when the New York Post asks for your help in dishing your dirty secrets in their SEX survey, you obey. No gimp mask necessary. As usual, "All Answers Are Anonymous," unless a Post staffer happens to drop the fact that you enjoy performing the "peanut butter paddleboat" into their Facebook feed. more ›

In spite of yesterday's rally, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell over 400 points when it opened this morning (it's now around 380 points down). One fund manager told Bloomberg News, "It’s a spiral down until it stops. We’re going through these constant day-to-day battles over Europe’s debt crisis, a downgrade in the U.S. and a weakening economy. There’s no positive sentiment regarding a light at the end of the tunnel." more ›

A shoplifting story that could have been just a throwaway crime blotter item was transformed into front-page tabloid gold thanks to a series of photos taken at the scene of a prolonged scuffle outside an AutoZone in the Bronx yesterday. It all started when an unidentified shoplifter set off the store's alarm system when he tried to walk out with an electric drill and an Allen wrench set, worth a total of about $80. Two employees gave chase, even after the thief turned to them with a syringe in his hand and vowed, "I'll give you AIDS with this syringe!" more ›

Former Mets star Lenny Dykstra has been a headline in the past few years (allegedly naked interviews, debt and divorce problems) and now, as he faces bankruptcy fraud charges, Dykstra has written a column for the NY Post in a style that can only be described as "Charlie Sheen, #winning era": "I told them, 'If you are trying to kill me, then you better put a bullet in my head because I am not backing down. Torture me all you want, I am stronger than you will ever know.' more ›

Despite repeated requests for comment, Mayoral hopeful Rep. Anthony Weiner has declined to clarify his anti-bike lane remarks quoted in the NY Times over the weekend. (Weiner reportedly told Mayor Bloomberg, "When I become mayor, you know what I’m going to spend my first year doing? I’m going to have a bunch of ribbon-cuttings tearing out your [expletive] bike lanes.") We're guessing Weiner is reviewing his position on bike lanes in order to take a more carefully calibrated position; if so, he may want to check out this sharp Streetsfilm video that explains what the city's new bike lanes actually accomplish: more ›

The NY Post HATES the bike lanes because they take street space away from cars, and they inconvenience columnist Steve Cuozzo when he walks to work through Times Square. But it's a challenge to come up with a new rabble-rousing anti-cyclist article seven days a week. So to fill the gap when there's no bike lane "news" to "report," the tabloid has come up with an easy solution: just pull some anti-bike lane mail from the inbox to fill the column inches. Voila, the haterade is stirred another day! Here's what NY Post reader G. Davis of Staten Island has to say: more ›

Today, the NY Post learned that drug dealers sometimes use business cards, something we figured out when we were in middle school and saw Half-Baked for the first time. And they also learned that drug dealers target college students, which anyone who's gone to college should already know. But we won't assume anything with the Post. more ›

As you may have heard, there have been some objections raised to a rumored Walmart location in East New York. The City Council is holding hearings at the beginning of next month, and Public Advocate Bill de Blasio recently released a report suggesting that a Walmart in NYC would "eliminate more jobs than it creates, result in the loss of independently owned small businesses, and create an increased burden on taxpayers." But the big box company probably isn't sweating it, because its got NY Post columnist Andrea Peyser in its corner. In her column today, titled "Absurd Wal of Fear," Peyser targets one of the studies cited by de Blasio: more ›
