That Wonkette is not the only my Wonkette that really does care.

But who really is the author of their material?

Nice to know, but Ken’s late-night entries may be symptomatic of something which caused Ross Douthat to suggest that “most Americans, particularly those of modest means, would benefit from greater caution and stability in their romantic entanglements”
My immediate reaction is: what about those of modest size?

And like knowledge, we sometimes ingest corn, then poop it out whole, without ever having digested it.

So Wonkette is just a warm-up for the Big Time? Looks like if you haven’t moved on after 2 years you’re, uh, well. Best not to think of it.

PSA: Ana Marie Cox is one of the most consistently funny follows on Twitter, for those of you that are into that sort of thing.

Those cyber-pervs can Pareene their Cox until the cows come home, for all I care! It’ll take a hell of a lot more than a cob-gobbling Bush for me to give two shits about their cornography!

By the way—you blue-eyed, blanket-bearing, “Manifest Density” motherfuckers—we call it maize!

Remind me, since we are delving into Wonkette’s history–was Pareene the girl who was jealous of David Denby’s boobs?

And Megan Carpentier? She is where? Cast into the abyss, wailing and gnashing her teeth, presumably.

Everyone is Trying to Kill You is good fun over @ True/Slant, though the real star there is Matt Taibbi. Come for the Taibbi, stay for the Pareene & Layne.

Also, radio is good, TV is better when it comes to AMC. Yummo.

What’s up with the Anonymous Lobbyist chick, also?

Boojum June 30, 2009 at 8:47 am

But where is Jessica Cutler?

PSA Addendum: No, seriously?!

Not only is she no longer Anonymous, you couldn’t possibly read everything she wrote this year alone in a lifetime. She is the Bruce “the Mouse” Strauss of punditry.

Is this some sort of invitation to inundate Air America with questions about pandas, gin, and ass-fucking?

Ah, the memories….

Tommmcatt June 30, 2009 at 12:35 pm

Plus you can watch Rachel Maddow make goo-goo eyes at AMC almost every day on MSNBC. WIN!

kth June 30, 2009 at 12:56 pm

Unfortunately, if you click through that Inside Story link, you will find that AMC has been fired and replaced by the mom from One Day At A Time.

Although I have been a sometimes fan of Wonkette over the years, I have only been slavishly addicted in the Ken Layne Era. NEVER LEAVE KEN LAYNE!!!!!!11!111!!!
