Srsly. Our town of 13,000 hardy souls has five representatives in the statehouse. The town council, by comparison, has nine members.

Really? They're paid $100 per year plus mileage. They can get a special licence plate but they have to pay for it.

But that one is so well-spoken.

Which is NOT code to say "Wow, a black person who isn't dumb."

Yes, it is very racist of you to think that.

There are a few buzz words that are not allowed here. They are usually the reason behind mysteriously deleted comments. And the words may not be the ones you think they would be...

Or maybe our Editrix just hates you...

"Also, if you are a new commenter, your comment may never appear. This is probably because we hate you."

Depends. Violating the Civil Rights Act or Voting Rights Act = good; violating the Fugitive Slave Act = "Northern Aggression".

So it's very much like free speech: you can say whatever you like as long as it agrees with what I say.

In the trailer for the month-old Letterman they reran last night, Selena was bragging about making the Biebs cry, so yeah, I'd say splitsville.

"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"
