Veteran gossip columnist Michael Musto is in town today promoting his new book, La Dolce Musto, a collection from his columns of the same name (he'll be at Nage Restaurant from 6:30 – 8:30 p.m.). The bespectacled provocateur has spent 20 years at the Village Voice chronicling New York City’s gay life, nightlife and sex life, sometimes in terms that would make Candace Bushnell blush. Along with the tales of club kids, politics and sex...

Thanks to Wonkette for the tip that a "Stand Up for Denmark!" rally scheduled for lunchtime tomorrow outside the Danish Embassy looks to be a star-studded affair for the wacky world of D.C. political punditry.

What has Wonkette's Ana Marie Cox been up to since she skipped town? Partying with New York media heavies, apparently. Gawker Media, the Wonkette mother ship, called our girl home for a small, A-list bloggers only shindig at the New York home of publisher Nick Denton a few days ago. (Hmm, perhaps our invitation got lost in the mail? C'mon, we're only a train ride away...) So what's the big occasion?

Wonkette's (temporary) farewell:

So it turns out that after a publisher give you money, you have to give them a book. And for some reason, simply printing out dozens of posts about ass-fucking and stapling them together isn't acceptable. (Though we understand that approach works for some. So jealous!) Long story short: For the month of February, this site will be in the capable hands of Choire (KOR-EE) Sicha (SEEE-CHA). He's completely clueless about politics, incredibly shallow, and liable to post things with only the most cursory of fact-checks (and by "cursory" we mean "non-existent"). In other words, you'll hardly know the difference.

This website was featured in Washingtonian magazine's "Best of Washington" feature in their December edition, now available at newsstands. Describing us as collectors of "tidbits of political and cultural arcana," they mention our posts on Keri Strug's armoire and our obituary of Au Pied du Cochon.

No matter who comes out on top after the election is all over, we know who the real winner of Insanity 2004 is: the bloggers. And given that most blogs are the bastard progeny of political punditry and partisan hysteria, we figured, who better to predict the outcome of it all? So we searched around and found the predictions of a few blogger elite who were brave enough to put their money where their mouths...

The first presidential debate is over and now the fun really begins. It's time for all the analysis, fact checking, second guessing, and partisan spin that this town is famous for.
