Yes, the headline is correct: Wonkette editor-in-chief Ken Layne has finally published his second novel. He has also spoken about it with your book reviewer, via Gmail chat. Oh, and Layne is making good on his vow to leave his typing desk at Wonkette again, which will be the third time in five years. What is this
I've come to the conclusion that much of life is a waste of time, but for two things: you don't know which moment is a waste until it's long past, and whatever's left is pure gold.
I must admit, I'm relieved. No matter how we've joked about, it's been so obvious for so long that The Wonkettes was slowly eating your soul alive, leaving nothing but a misanthropic husk of depression and Dylan lyrics behind. For you and your family's sake, this was the right decision. Which doesn't mean we won't miss you, or that we don't still love you, but I'd rather you go write novels and commune with Coyote in the desert than feel obliged to bang out six posts a day about Mitt Romney and some cock pictures while you slowly lose the ability to look at yourself in the mirror. So, Godspeed, Papa Bear!
Ken, I've always enjoyed your analysis and sarcasm. I've purchased the book (the paper one, not that Kindle thingy-ma-jig version) and I look forward to spending a couple of evening of pleasurable reading. I also appreciate that you are not fond of Rick Perry, who is a gapping asshole.
Good luck and God Bless you and your family in you new endeavor. Please check in on us from time to time so you can learn from some very good, snarky, passionate people. If in your travels you find the bell that Paul Revere rang when he was announcing that the British were arriving, I think I know a family in Las Vegas who runs a pawn shop who would pay you big money and offer you television fame.
Best wishes, Ken. Hope all goes well for you. Geeze, another Wonkette front-pager moves on.

Things to <i>say</i>, yes, all the time, but <i>words</i>, never.

<i>Dignified</i> dick pix, though? Apparently, that means not fully nude ones.
Or at the very least, with the nutsack tastefully arranged, probably.
And thanks for all the fish!
ooh..I like what you did there...&quot;Wonkettes Junior&quot; like &quot;Attorneys General&quot;

Good luck Ken and thank you for providing an outlet for my pent up frustration with the stupid. My coworkers and family should thank you as well.
Can we get autographed books? Not your signature, somebody cool like Paul Reubens or Lorena Bobbit.
I was disappointed it didn&#039;t have pictures but it&#039;ll make a good movie.
Good luck Ken and thanks for all the fish.
