What with Paris Hilton's release earlier this week and the upcoming celebration of American Independence (sorry, Londonist!), we've been thinking a lot about freedom. Freedom to vote, freedom to choose, and most importantly, freedom to blog. Here are a few things we're happy we've been free to blog about this week. Being the nation's capital, DCist felt especially proud to let freedom ring this week by exposing the really important issues, like how sad they...

Holy smokes! Giant fish on the MTA, Paris Hilton in jail, then out, then in again, Al Gore, goatses, blumpkins, Matt Damon, and baby art critics! It's been a busy week across the Ist-A-Verse, and here's a smattering of what's been going on. In Gothamist's neck of the woods, they found out that many things are possible: A man caught a 40+ pound fish off the Rockaways and took it home on the subway. Graffiti...

There's so much going on across the Ist-a-Verse that it's almost impossible to keep track these days. Fortunately, we do it so you don't have to!

Austinist has a chat with the ever-fashionable Golden Girl Rue McClanahan, and managed to catch some local fashionistas making...

The latest example of greatness from the Nietzschian overmen at South Korean manufacturer LG is the LP4100, a cell phone that can, and will, let you know when you have had that one chardonnay too many.

Though we at Houstonist do our best to stay on top of the latest fads and fashions, there's one pop-culture demographic with which we've fallen woefully out of touch: kids 11 and under. Pre-teens these days have so many more options than Houstonist did — back when we were in elementary school, there were no PS2s, no folding scooters, no iPods, no Heelys. All we had were a bunch of cast-iron pistols and a Pong game.
