Hello, friends! After nearly two years of writing weird stuff on the Internet, it's time for "Intern Riley" to "cut and run." Where are we going? Who knows! At any rate: Writing for Wonkette completely transformed our life, in a good way, we think. We remember when Ken Layne emailed us our WordPress Login Info, when we first started at this blog, in the Summer of 2009. The password that Ken gave us was: "$ummer^666." He ended his email with a short note. "Change your password, if you want." We knew right away that a lot more than just a password was going to change. Anyway, Thank You!
It's morning in Rileyland! Rileyland's long national nightmare is over!
You're a good and decent human being, Riley, and I feel privileged to have met you, and moreso to have been able to read your endlessly clever/hilarious/poignant take on the world. Good luck in all your endeavours.
Riley, If I may offer some advice, if you're going to fuck TeeVee, unplug it first. Don't ask how I know this. I will miss my mornings with Waggaman and coffee. MG
*sniff* Our little Riley's all grown up! Where did the time go? *"The Cat in the Cradle" begins to play*
Anyway, Riley, godspeed and good luck! The future of the Democratic Republic of Rileyland is bright! Here's to tongue-punching fartboxes and fingerbangs for all!
The great thing about Wonkette is that Ken finds intelligent, snarky writers, nurtures them a bit (no doubt with profanity), and gives us a chance to interact with them. We all have our favorites but they're all really, really good! Some like Sara K. Smith and Jim Newell go on to other online sites, some others just fade away into an alcoholic-induced oblivion. We appreciate them all any way.
Good luck, Riley. May the road, and Andrew Breitbart, be kind to you.
I, too, have a daughter who's (nearly) 23. Several years before you were conceived, I was picking my ex up from her job at the Marcus Garvey Lounge at Wesleyan. Gil Scott Heron was telling us then that the revolution would not be televised.
But he's a crackhead now, they say. And the revolution will probably be liveblogged.
I'm going to miss you, little brother. You have a way with a phrase, and can be ferocious without being mean. Fuck war.
You will be missed.

You are a good person Riley. I will miss you and your funny hats. You were a lot of fun to read. Write if you get work.
More Trig blowback.
