Dear Fuck Squad readers:
Our sincerest apologies for not having announced this sooner, it was totally fucked up of us: The Fuck Squad, Gen Y’s alternative source for really interesting shit, has closed.
The summer was fun, but we know, and now you know, that it was just a seasonal fling. So please don’t call us asking [...]

You Won’t Know …Why the hell Jesse Lacey threw his guitar
Posted in Music, Paul, tagged brand new, guitar toss, hitting drummers with guitars, jesse lacey, throws guitar on August 13, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Apparently Jesse Lacey urged the audience to go see Explosions In The Sky instead of Brand New at a recent festival concert. When no one left he called those in attendance “a bunch of fools.” The next song he threw his guitar into the air, nearly hitting Brand New’s drummer before [...]
What if Tucker Max Lied?

I’m going to retract the invective I wrote about Gawker a few days back, but just for this post. Gawker’s Rumormonger has a lengthy thread on Tucker Max that holds a true literary gem:
The more I thought about it, however, the more the fact that TM is basically lying in his stories began to bother [...]

Former presidential candidate John Edwards has lust in his heart, and it’s not just for mills:
In an interview for broadcast tonight on Nightline, Edwards told ABC News correspondent Bob Woodruff he did have an affair with 44-year old Rielle Hunter, but said that he did not love her.
Edwards also denied he was the father of [...]

From Gizmodo, comes news of this incredibly handy device, good now for the Olympics, good later for when an FCC-DHS hybrid takes over the tubez:
If you’re reading this, odds are against your attendance at the Beijing Olympic Games, but we wanted to make sure that you knew about the Freedom Stick just in case—a USB [...]
Big Trouble in Little Georgia

So Georgia invaded South Ossetia today.
Brief history lesson: Georgia has two provinces, South Ossetia and Abkhazia, that have been trying to break off since the collapse of the USSR. A bloody and haphazard war in the early 1990s led to a stalemate; both provinces now conduct their own affairs, but they’re not recognized as nations [...]

There’s been a lot of hubbub over Toby Keith’s country dumbness, but I thought I’d do my part to help set the record straight on Beer for my Horses:
Blumenthal never mentions that Keith sings “Beer For My Horses” with Willie Nelson, and it’s actually Nelson who sings the supposedly incriminating lyrics (as you can see [...]

I am convinced that every big city in America is rotten to the core. And of course, Detroit’s the worst of them all:
Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick will spend the night in jail after a judge ruled he violated the terms of his bond in his perjury case by making a business trip to Canada and [...]

Yep. Thank God Joe Lieberman’s okay, I don’t know what our nation would do without his guidance.
A source close to the campaign blamed the Straight Talk’s onboard compass, which started going on the fritz about four years ago.

The Fuck Squad absurd news item of the day:
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Jacksonville police say Reginald Peterson needs to learn that 911 is not the appropriate place to complain that Subway left the sauce off a spicy Italian sandwich.
Police say the 42-year-old man dialed 911 twice last week so he could have his sub made [...]
