"In other news today, a local Orange Pixel was found dead in his office. Authorities believe the Pixel died as a result of excessive head pounding on his desk, possibly a result of having read a wingnut blog.

Funeral services will be held at the local strip joint. The family is asking that any donations be forwarded to Wonkette, in lieu of gifts or flowers"
