The Hampton Jitney is a private bus line that takes well-off New York City residents from the city to the Long Island towns where well-off New York City residents enjoy spending summer weekends. Lately, some of those buses have experienced delays. One can only imagine the effect sitting in traffic must have on the already enervating class anxiety felt by Jitney riders who cannot, as their betters do, charter weekly helicopters.

GOP senator and former presidential candidate John McCain unveiled his rendition of The Robot during a performance by The Roots and Jamie Foxx in the most awkward meeting of Republicans and hip-hop since MC Karl Rove.

All long weekends must come to an end, unless you're Madonna.

After a summer-long investigation by its Hamptons beat-reporter Jim Rutenberg, the New York Times has discovered that the Hamptons are no longer the sole domain of the gilded elite (and the various news reporters who are supposed to be covering them), but are now becoming pretty trashy.

As if these photos of Colin Powell cutting a rug—pursed lips conveying his boogie-woogie seriousness in one; hands-on-hips stance indicating he may be contemplating a hernia-inducing squat dance in another—weren't uncomfortable enough, now we have approximately 20 digital-video seconds of the former secretary of state grooving out to a Daft Punk song about staying up all night for the nookie. Also, included: Pharrell's croon, Katie Holmes Doing the Shoulders, and a full-club karaoke singalong. The Hamptons will embarrass you every time.

Each offered its own, fellated love letter to an emergent breed of carefree young fucks.

If you're spending your whole summer being jealous of people with mansions in the Hamptons, you need to start being jealous of people who have trailers in the Hamptons. Because the trailers there are nice!

The man behind this rage-inducing ATM receipt? None other than David Tepper, founder of hedge fund Appaloosa Management, who keeps both a high balance in his savings account and brass replicas of testicles on his desk. [Dealbreaker]

From Curbed Hamptons we have this aerial shot of where once stood the $43.5 million home of "billionaire hedge-funder David Tepper." Why tear down a perfectly good beach palace? Because he couldn't see the ocean from every room, they report. Has anyone ever built a house entirely out of smudge-proof glass? That would be awesome! Views inside views inside views. I bet Donald Trump has one of those. [Curbed, photo credit: Cully/EEFAS via Patch.com]
