Today we freaked out because omigod hurricane!!! What do we do? We've been running around, freaking out, so thankfully this commenter came along and calmly explained how to get through this.

There are a bunch of easy, stupid, reflexive comments that people often make in an attempt to be funny. Although none of them are funny at all, there's one knee-jerk chuckle-chaser that really pisses me off.

Everyone is flipping out about this damn hurricane that's going to batter the East Coast either tomorrow or Sunday. Have you evacuated? If so, where are you headed? If not, what are you gonna do? Let us know.

Are you ready for a brand new talk about fa-fa-fa-fa-fashion? Well, you've come to the right place! As is our weekly wont, a bunch of us are live-blogging tonight's Project Runway episode in the comments, and you're invited. Join us!

Today we claimed that South Carolina is a little bit racist, partly because of their insistence on flying the Confederate flag. This didn't sit too well with one commenter.

In your soggy Thursday media column: hurricane coverage rules the universe, commenters can sometimes write, John Podhoretz discusses cocks, the NYT op-ed section is not working class, and Jack Shafer says goodbye.

Today we learned that 30 Rock is the most referenced thing in New Yorkers' dating profiles, along with Arrested Development, It's Always Sunny, ice cream, wine and a few other things. What do those things say to a perspective suitor? One commenter explained.

Today we heard that for-profit colleges might be going the way of the dodo. Yay! Those places are kinda bunk. And their recruiters are so aggressive, as one commenter can tell you.

Today we heard about the latest in trendy cuisine: placentae! Mmmm. Delicious afterbirth. And how will this be sold to the hip-hungry masses? One commenter knows.

Today we heard that people in Idaho are upset because there's an Explosions in the Sky concert there on September 11th. Oops! But that's not where the outrage stops, says one commenter.

There aren't too many things that offend us here at Gawker, so when something does offend us, it's pretty serious. This week we're banning someone who dared to use the F-word. No, not "fuck." The other F-word.

Hey there—are you too snarky for your shirt? Well then, it's time to take your little turn on the catwalk! We're live-blogging tonight's episode of Project Runway in the comments, and you're invited. Come strut your stuff!

Today we found out that Rick Perry doesn't bother with the term "intelligent design." It's just good old Creationism for him. And evolution? That's a theory. Just a theory! What else is just a theory? One commenter explained.

Today we heard about a sugar daddy meat market event that was described as, among other things, "classy." Hm. There's that word again. What is is with that word? One commenter explains.

Today we heard that yet another anti-gay congressman has been caught trolling for gay sex online. Tra la la, another one bites the dust. This calls for limericks!

There are so many new things here on Gawker these days that we thought it would be fun to bring back one of our older, time-honored features: commenter executions. That's right, we will be publicly and bloodily banning commenters who misbehave.

It's time for another one of our Project Runway commenter live blogs, and you're invited! Remember, the episodes are 90 minutes long these days, so you may want to run put on your best wee-wee-pad skirt, just to be sure you won't miss anything.

Today, while regarding a gross bodily fluid airplane story, a commenter told us a commuting tale of such extreme horror that we're inclined to believe it's not true. Weigh in for yourself. If it's real, holy shit.

Today we heard the unfortunate news that an Olive Garden eatery in North Carolina might be the site of a hepatitis outbreak. Yikes! Might be time for a little PR maneuvering, starting with a new slogan for commercials.

Today we learned that Lauren Bush, daughter of Neil, will take the last name of her new husband David Lauren, son of Ralph. So she's Lauren Bush Lauren! Amazing. Just think of the weird possibilities with a name like that. Actually, some of you did think of them.
