    Hiii, Bonnie Jo!

    She's from my town and helped teach one of my college creative-writing classes using her novel Q Road, which is a great book, by the way. Hell of a nice lady. I don't doubt she was thrilled to be there and she deserved it.

    I love looking at pictures from parties like this. I don't even know why. I just love it.

    In the one picture, Coen kind of looks like a cross between Natasha Lyonne and Chloe from 24. And I mean that in a good way.

    Also, note the progression of Team Gawker Party Crash MOFEK: Webutante Ball, to Vice Party, to National Book Awards. The next time a Supreme Court justice gets sworn in, we're there with a full sheet of sunshine acid and an extra flash. Just you wait.

    @pureblarney: Cajun was captioned in the Vice Haloween party post - I'm so used to his voice/writing that actually seeing him totally freaked me out! I guess you just build up a metal image of someone over time and sometimes its totally wrong (though at times spot-on e.g: Keith Gessen and Emily Gould ha!) Its the same with Radio DJ's.

    In reply to Sarah Palin's Goin' Rogue An American Tail, Also: A Review
    The book should be called "A Million Little Excuses". She takes no responsibility for any of her own screw ups but there is plenty of finger pointing and blaming everyone else.

    That passage about Reagan having a spine made out of steel perfectly sums up what Republicans want in a President. They should have a steel spine with an empty head on top. All that thinking, analyzing and planning just gets in the way. Please America, no more cowboy Presidents. #sarahpalin
