pt email of the day
Oooh, it’s an angry letter about you, the readers of this wretched clearinghouse of half-literate nonsense, who generate ignorant drivel in incomplete sentences (i.e. “comments”). Our collective fate: far worse than a King Edward II-style red-hot poker to the bum, we shall be punished by mass humiliation … ON TWITTER.
Here’s a very special Email of the Night, starring somebody who must’ve come across a confusing link to your Wonkette on some wingnut message board. We’ve seen a handful of these “referencing nothing in particular” upset emails in the latter half of the week, but as usual there is no way to decipher what exactly [...]
Somehow it seems unlikely that this dude, who vows not to read Wonkette ever again, has read much of it in the past.

I am almost old enough to vote and have a lot of questions about what’s going on with the government. Republican, Democrat, right, left, what does it all mean? What does each party [...]
In our first 2009 edition of “Email of the Day,” we bring you two (2) tragic examples of America’s Dumb People fighting a losing battle with words … and one of them also tries (and fails) to deploy the weapon of “sarcasm.” Also: What kind of terrible person refuses to show the Proper Respect to [...]
‘Never a N___r In The White House, Biggot!’
by Ken Layne
Here’s something good about our new Great Depression: All Internet companies are going under, soon, along with the websites of newspapers and cable channels, and of course all the companies that provide the free blogging. What this means, we sincerely hope, is the end of Web Comments, forever. It was an “interesting” experiment, etc., and [...]
