Here is a good, interesting story in the Washington Post about the people who write to Barack Obama, why they write, and the process by which some of their letters reach the president. It is heart-warming and kinda sad, too.
We don't know what this letter was even about (Glenn Beck probably?), but because we do not wish to Stifle Free Speech, like they do in North Korea, we will publish it.
Remember Mikey Weinstein, the guy fighting radical evangelical Christians in the military? Here is a trenchant political cartoon his organization received on Monday.
Well, partly in the third person. The famous youth culture expert wrote to complain about critic Alex Ross.
So we've gotten an aggravating amount of tips about some kind of hell book called Natural Harvest that is comprised entirely of recipes for meals involving semen. Like, human ejaculate. It's nothing short of horrifying. It's been covered in a bunch of other places already, but still everyone wants us to know about it.…
Over at The Corner, Victor Davis Hanson is positive that now that Patrick Fitzgerald has arrested Democratic governor Rod Blagojevich and is looking at Tony Rezko, "Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald is just about on the verge on losing his near mythic status among the Washington-New York media." The fact that this hasn't…
In the future the history books will say this election was fought across blog posts and in the comment trenches, via video links and perpetual forwards. History books will be full of shit, obv, because 99% of the internet noise about the election was barely readable garbage and nonsense. Our resident expert in garbage…
We get a lot of emails every day, and often times we just don't have the time, energy, or patience to respond to them, let alone report them to you, dear readers. So here, on this sun-soaked Friday, let's take a moment after the jump to look at a few of these once lost missives who have now found a home here, in…
A reader is upset with Gawker for wholeheartedly embracing The New Yorker's terribly offensive cartoon about how Barack Obama is a terrorist. She writes:

We're bringing Glaring Omissions back! We get so many missives each week, that some things slip through the cracks by accident or completely on purpose. Today we have three little bits for you (just gaining momentum, I swears). Shotguns, marriages, and a Real Housewife await you after the jump.
First Liz Smith and some other "Greatest Generation"-aged women launched Wowowow. Then former Gawker Doree Shafrir started Post Cards From Yo Momma. Now this: "I am e-mailing you because u are the first blog. The very first one. You set the trend. But web 2.0 has changed everything. Mom Blogs are a growing voice and…
There's such a glaring omission on nearly all the "best of 2007" movies lists. Why will no one understand that Nicolas Cage's "Ghost Rider" was one of the bestest, awesomest, coolest, hilariousest, entertainingest movies of the year? Because it so was. (If it weren't for that darned holiday release date of "National…
There's such a glaring omission on nearly all the "best of 2007" movies lists. Why will no one understand that Quentin Tarantino's "Death Proof" was one of the bestest, smartest, coolest, entertainingest movies of the year? Because it so was.
