Every so often one commenter serves the public body in singularly superb fashion. These comrades deserve recognition individually—a chance to come forward and take a bow. Today we honor commenter CodePink, who in her weird, warm, wise, and always funny way makes the days tick by just a little faster. Enjoy five of her best comments this week after the jump. Nobody does it better.
- From Anna Wintour To New York Magazine: 'Just Go Away':
"Ms. Wintour: 'Well, that's an interesting question; what's more interesting to me is if your mother cries every night because you turned out so ugly and stupid. Goodbye.'" - From On Stylista, The Fat Girl Is 'The Elephant In The Room':
"Last time I went on a Fat Rampage, I pushed down shelves of canned ham at C-Town, shook 7 Up two liter bottles and opened them all at the same, and then threw poundcakes at children, all whilst snarling." - From The Next New Thing: The Next New Thing:
"Here are some new things:
mint flavored soda
raspberry hamburgers
computers that can fit in your eyeball!
rainbow colored babies
Kansastana
marrying my aunt!" - From Why Aren't There Any Good Hoaxes Anymore?:
"I one time went to the store to buy bananas but instead i bought apples and tried to make a banana split out of apples and everyone was like that's more like apple pie ala mode and i said no it's a banana split and then three people jumped off the roof because it messed them up so bad that idea. it was hoax!" - From Seriously, Why Even Bother Profiling Julia Allison?:
"What I ask is this: why even bother bothering to bother being bothered by bothering?"
And many, many more. Congrats Pinkie!
The week after a vacation is always hard and I found myself missing the West several times over these few quickly darkening days. Luckily I had your wonderful comments to help me soldier on through. Many were good, but we breathe, sleep, and toil in a culture that only rewards the few, and so we'll do our part after the jump. There you'll find the five "best" comments of the week, as chosen by us, and the Party Pick comment, chosen by you.
This has been an epic week, mostly because I feel sick and sorry for myself and my friends got married on Sunday. But you guys also made it a pretty big week, with some excellent Long Comments. We've awarded three of you for your outstanding tomes, and of course named the Party Pick for your favorite comment of the week after the jump. 
Oh what a week! There was a debate and more politics than it was previously thought the human race could endure. Only time will tell if we actually can! Maybe we'll all turn to dust next week. What we can definitely withstand and, I dare say, what we enjoy are good comments from you folks. So after the jump read our and your picks for the best of the week.
Well so, OK, the world is ruined. The concept of "money" no longer exists and a makeshift barter system has sprung up in its place. A soiled wig is worth one subway ride, a clean wig is worth a taxi ride, and a Commie for best comment of the week? Worth it's weight in m.f.'in gold. So praise the six who've received the honor this week after the jump, then plot and scheme as to how to steal it away from them. 
As you may have heard, Gawker is 
Lots of terrible, awful things happened this week. So it's a credit to your moxie, spirit, and dedication as commenters that you guys did not suspend your duties. You soldiered on and made fun of things that are, in truth, terribly troubling and possibly world-changing. So good on you! After the jump we'll celebrate our (and your) six favorite distracting comments from these most troubling five days.
You commenters are all so smart and so clever (well, 
Comments here, get your comments here! Here are the six best reader comments of the week, five chosen by us on this side of the compooter wall, one chosen by YOU. Because we're struggling toward democracy! A high-functioning democracy in which our votes count five times more than yours.

Our tireless nighttime editor Ryan Tate, so far away on the West Coast, posts all night while the rest of us are sleeping. But some you commenters are awake with him, saying many funny things. They can too often be overlooked, so we're doing another edition of the best comments from the graveyard shift. After the jump find five of the best sleepy time (night and early morning) comments, and of course your Party Pick of the week.
You guys are great. We just want you to know that. It takes a week like this—in which the complete ass-hattery of a man like Tucker Max is laid so exquisitely bare—to remind us what kind, unprejudiced little shits you are. So in honor of that, we've selected six of our favorite Tucker Max comments and placed them after the jump, where I'm told they serve beer. Oh, and it's not an accident that it's just 
It was a really slow news week, so we decided to change to purview of the site to solely deal with monster hunting. It's worked out pretty well so far! As ever, we were aided by you commenters, our trusty Short Rounds. You said many funny things, six of which will be celebrated after the jump. But just know, we are all winners here. Especially me.
Because you commenters will never, ever meet each other in person, not ever, we think it's nice to create a place for you, each week, where you can celebrate each other's good work. You know, on the internet. So after the jump we have six of the best comments of the week, so you can revel in the brilliance that was. All alone in your homes. Never to meet.
Get in line, the bread's here. But only six of you are going to get any. Why? Because these are hard times and experiments have failed, and theories are grand but practice is hard work. So put out those little mitts of yours and trudge after the jump to see who eats this week.
Commie time! Usually I'll collect comment-of-the-week picks from the other writers and let you know who selected what, but I think that makes it seem like only they liked that comment. So while there is input from four of us after the jump, I'll just keep anonymous. Because everyone loved everyone this week. And that's the way it should be.
Happy Pride weekend y'all! I hope you'll celebrate somehow, in any small way, because the gays love you and you should love us. I, particularly, love the six commenters who will be awarded with Commies—which recognize the best comments of the week—after the jump.
Good job! Everybody did a really good job commenting this week. Some better than others! Life is a pageant, and crazed uber-commenter
