Hillary Clinton compares Dick Cheney to infamous science fiction character. Guess which one. Thousands are gathering in Jena, LA today in support of the 'Jena 6.' Republican representative claims just too many mosques in this country. The UN's General Assembly is next week and Iranian President Ahmadinejad asked to lay a wreath at Ground Zero. The NYPD is not having it. One heck of prank or one heck of a hangover. 100,000 cans of......

Donald Trump and The Apprentice have nothing on screenwriter Mateo Gil (Vanilla Sky, The Sea Inside). Gil zeroes in on the paranoia of office politics and brutal selection processes that force contestants to adhere to strict, snazzy dress codes in El Metodo, a critically acclaimed film that was released in Spain two years ago. The New York Times apparently labeled the movie as a comedy-laced suspense drama. For those of us that were not......

We here in the Ist-A-Verse know that we're sensational, but it's very rare that we get a chance to be sensationalistic. This week, we've decided to have ourselves a little fun and try our hand at tacky tabloid headlines, using nothing more than our favorite posts from this week. Torontoist Special Report: Rosie to Trump: "Fire 300 Bicyclists for Fraud!" On DCist: Students Go Wild for Slogans, Secrets and Sexual Harassment The action was thick......

*The views expressed in The Laurie Show are those of the author and do not represent Austinist as a whole.* -ed. note I would never have guessed it would’ve taken some of my friends an entire week to recuperate from SXSW, but it was staring me in the face. Peeps were laying low and catching up on sleep. I didn’t go too crazy myself, due to work obligations, but it also helped to partake......

Our favorite posts by local bloggers for this first week of January: Wipeout celebrated New Year's at Emo's and has the photos to prove it. Ken (from Cheap Thoughts by Ken) tells about being towed next to DPS. I Blame the Patriarchy has Oprah all figured out. We agree with Diane Holloway. Why are people still watching Trump? We prefer to ignore him and hope he goes away. Ultra8201 looks forward to seeing The......

[The following is an editorial column by contributor Alison Coffey and does not necessarily reflect the views of the Austinist staff. --The Editors] Monday night's episode of The Apprentice was the best of the season. It's down to Lee, a 22 year old politician wannabe with an appropriate gift for dodging questions, and Sean, the metrosexual Brit with eyes for Tammy. I am pulling for Sean. Lee's a little too backstabbing for my taste.......

Don't fret if you get pulled over this week; you may be rewarded with baseball tickets for your good driving. A police officer was dragged and run over by a car she had pulled over on Riverside early Tuesday morning. She has already been treated and released from the hospital. Two local companies are thinking green for their office interior space. DeLay won the Republican primary, so now we can only hope that Lampson......

We are most definitely fans of the regular ole Apprentice featuring Donald "combover, what combover?" Trump, but this new one has us even more excited to tune into the cutthroat world of business. Perhaps it is all the pastels (from Martha's offices to the lady's suitwear) and the soothing grays of the "conference" room. Perhaps it is because the tasks are more about creativity and presentation rather than selling burgers or cars. It must......
