Are the Terrorists Winning? Martha Stewart Hijacks Borat's Spaceship, F Train

The national housewife superego has lady feelings? Yes, maybe. Via the Post, the AP reports that Former Inmate 55170-0549 might soon become Mrs. Martha Helen Kostrya Stewart Simonyi (evidently, WASPiness works by the one-drop rule). Her omnibeing notwithstanding, Martha is currently in Kazakhstan to cheer on and/or get married to her space-tourist manfriend, who's set to blast off today. Unfortunately, he is not Lance Bass. Meanwhile, elsewhere in the Post, and half a world away, a New York City subway car yesterday was attacked and transformed into "a cozy living room with curtains, flowers, throw pillows and rugs" in a "guerrilla installation, dubbed 'No Train Like Home.'" No signs indicate that these heinous transportation/decoration acts are related, but that's because Martha Stewart is a evil genius, like Marilyn vos Savant without the ILF part.

Parade: Explaining America To Manhattan Since 1941

Alright, we fess up. Gawker Weekend exists for one reason: we want to own the coverage of PARADE magazine, the nation's favorite Sunday insert and, with the Guinness-confirmed genius lady Marilyn vos Savant on board, literally the smartest publication on Earth. Among the reader-submitted questions to be answered this weekend: How can I dine like the stars at those lavish Oscar-night dinner parties?"; "Who do you think had more of an impact on music: Elvis Presley or James Brown?"; and "What are 'Sea-Monkeys'?" There's also, inexplicably, a long profile of Dharma & Greg's Thomas Gibson (what's he up to? Not much!) and "exclusive pictures" of Christina Ricci.
