What’s coming right up in Detroit? It’s the Wonkette Halloween party for YOU on Sat., Oct. 26, 7 p.m., at our home! Email rebecca at wonkette dot com, email header I AM NOT COMING TO KILL YOU, for our address! Free of course, but donations will be accepted for the Michigan Democrats!

Wonkette is funded entirely by reader donations and one tiny Amazon button. Using this button gives Wonkette a small commission on anything you put in your cart until you check out OR unless you close your tab first, obviously. Help a website out, if you are shopping there anyway!

I made a big deal yesterday out of “you can use this paypal button to give the recurring amount of your choice!” and would you believe I used the wrong fucking button? (Yes, all your lovely donations went to us; I just left out the recurring donation option. MEH FEH PTUI.)
