Happy Memorial Day [Pic Of The Day]

A programming note: No, we're not going all Condé Nast with summer Fridays (memo for next week: is Condé still getting summer Fridays?) but because of the holiday, we're cutting today short. Foster and T.A.N. will be around this weekend and then the site's going dark on Monday. Happy weekend. Published by Original source : http://feeds.gawker.com/~r/gawker/full/~3/wTefyL4v...

The Week We Climbed the Mountain of Hurricanes to Give Our Dreams a Hand [Week In Review]

So much happened this week. Let's pause to reflect before you get blitzed on your summer drink of choice. Barack Obama performed 100 abortions live on stage at Notre Dame's "Spring Fling" dance , and then he invented rock 'n' roll. A Huffington Post internship costs almost as much as a Yankees ticket. (Topical!) Internships at New York are free, but it helps to know or be related to the most successful and famous filmmaker alive. Maybe instead of internships the children of the elite should just buy ads? Someone's gotta pay for all our open bars, guys! Before we all become dead-eyed wraiths like Anna Wintour , wasting away at SeaWorld . Patrick Swayze survived an attempt on his life by Twitter, the Silicon Valley equivalent of Pol Pot and the Nazis and a Gorgon. Meghan McCain and Larry King were both inappropriate, on TV. Rachel Maddow was understated and appropriate. Jeff Macke lost his mind. Michael Steele blah blah teabag joke sigh.

When the posts are now in the archives, you will now have to consider how other readers will discover your posts. And this is through the help of search engines. This is where the second step comes in, which is to address search engine users. The titles you compose should be sensitive to the requirements of search engine bots so that you get the coveted first SERP . So how do you compose your blog post title to take advantage of search engines? * Put important keywords in the title. From the first step you have already added a few relevant keywords that will app

We Don't Hate Your Kids, Just You [Outrages]

Is there any creature full of more self-entitlement than a suburban parent? Yesterday, a bunch of kindergartners didn't get to tour the White House because they were an hour late. Their parents are outraged and, no, they won't reschedule because their schedule is booked, Mr. President That Hates Children. Like all men, Barack Obama hates children and loves football. So yesterday he fake-invited a group of Virginia kindergartners to the White House just so he could watch them cry when he turned them away to hang out with the Pittsburgh Steelers. A group of 100 kindergartners from Stafford County, Va., were supposed to tour the White House yesterday, but were turned away when their bus was late . They say they were shut out because the Superbowl-winning football team was visiting Obama. This is very important news that is very revealing about who Obama really is, and the White House press corps should be praised for getting to the bottom of it. "Here we have Presid
