Luve the wee grandbabbie!
Good morning, Wonkers! What a week! First, Evan was out, and I have never missed anyone so much IN MY LIFE. Second, I was horribly depressed the first couple days -- maybe you are familiar with this feeling! -- and just sat like an ACTUAL LUMP OF SHIT and waited for Dok and Robyn and $ Five Feminist to hand me stories, like ... Jabba the Hutt? Yes, I was JUST LIKE THAT. (They were Triplet Princess Leia.) But toward midweek I started feeling better and started firing on SOME cylinders, and then some INTERESTING NEWS HAPPENED and doesnt that make you feel a whole lot better? OH MY APOSTROPHE JUST BROKE. FORGET IT I AM LEAVING FOREVER.
We will get to the WEEKS TOP TEN in just a moment, but first I must money you! As you may remember, because we tell you at the end of every post, your Wonkette has made the plunge to totally AD FREE. We did this because the money dropped by two-thirds and then THEY DIDNT EVEN PAY US. But you, wise and generous Wonkers, took on that burden. And every month since, you have put us over the top of what we need, for modest but liveable salaries, and servers, and all of the things. At the moment, we are about $3000 shy of our monthly nut (it always slows at the end). We get 800,000 or so readers per month, a goodly chunk of whom are like HMM THIS MIGHT NOT BE THE WEB SITE FOR ME and are never heard from again! But there are about 9,000 of you per month who visit like ... 100 times? One thousand? And of those, only roughly 3,000 of you are GIVING US MONEY! That is (MATH) one-third! If you are one of the 6,000 who is not shoveling ducats straight into our Scrooge McDuck maw, please consider starting up! JUST IMAGINE what we could do with a tripled budget! We would hire five or 17 more people and give them all ponies! We would have RAISES, and VACATIONS, and pay off our credit cards! Can you imagine anything funner than that? (Hahaha, remember being young and having funner things than "paying off credit cards"? WELL, I DONT.)
OH NO A LION!

Oops, should not have capitalized the translation, thanks.
I have traveled there a few times and very much love the green attitudes and progressive thinking. I can't honestly say I speak the language, beyond a few phrases. I truly wish I had the gift of being a polyglot.
