It was seven unlucky years ago when a handsome young man named Alex Pareene typed to me on G-chat with a sex proposition: "Save me from guest editor hell," he said. Pareene, an NYU film school dropout who had recently taken over the politics blog Wonkette from its founding editor Ana Marie Cox, now needed to replace his co-editor.

my fav layne post was election night 2008. i was just back from grant park, drinking myself into a celebratory stupor, couldn&#039;t believe it all and ken layne introduced us to our new president.

The ban hammer flew fast and hard back in the day. After being banned a few times I was hooked.
