    Hah! You’re all suckers.

  2. shortsshortsshorts says at 12:43 pm, June 4th, 2008

    Bin Laden has a hand in this, I know it.

  3. graceless* says at 12:45 pm, June 4th, 2008

    I can comment. And you can’t…

    In honor of Obama, I have changed my fur color to black.

  5. metropolitan says at 12:47 pm, June 4th, 2008

    I CAN’T COMMENT UNLESS I USE ALL CAPS AND LOTS OF EXCLAMATION POINTS!!!!!!!

  6. upperleft says at 12:48 pm, June 4th, 2008

    Hah! If you have to have the nanny’s fix it for you manually, the terrorist win.

  7. graceless* says at 12:49 pm, June 4th, 2008

    Maybe after they finish getting everybody up and commenting, maybe they’ll make the pictures bigger. Then I could see your wally-pug-nis.

    LOLZ. I noticed that Firefox isn’t refreshing teh page every time now. I have to keep CTRL+F5′ing. Which was kind of funny that I was like, “WTF, Barry Hussein won! Whyn’t Wonky update us with some news?” I thought I was going to have to go look and see what Tweety was saying or something.” By the way I’m glad to shed my old name/identity. Sadly I still get turned down on credit card apps.

    Screw the tech tards. The lack of a reply button is severely dampening my will to comment.

  11. The mimes demand to be heard! Well, you know …

  12. tunamelt says at 1:04 pm, June 4th, 2008

    shortsshortsshorts: Oooh, awkward.

  13. Eclectablog says at 1:04 pm, June 4th, 2008

    Funny thing is I can comment on all posts except the “Relive WALNUTS’ Big Speech In All Its Failure” one. Weird…

    Guess it just wasn’t meant to be. You’ll all just have to be denied my razor-sharp wit.

  14. Lascauxcaveman says at 1:05 pm, June 4th, 2008

    This may be helpful (though may have been mentioned already) if you’re using an older browser, you may not be able to login even if you dump your history, cache, cookies etc.

    On my old home computer, I had to do all that and then re-click the email link the new Wonkette sent me to verify my humanity, even though I had already done this from the two computers I use at work (and was able to re-register and log in there).

  15. MadMangosteen says at 1:06 pm, June 4th, 2008

    a conciliatory note to those of you still locked out: eat it, you clowns!

  16. graceless* says at 1:07 pm, June 4th, 2008

    shortsshortsshorts: I think he was kidding. But it’s sometimes hard to tell.

  17. AxmxZ says at 1:10 pm, June 4th, 2008

    I can comment but can’t browse through all my comments on my profile, like on the gawker platform. Sob.

  18. shortsshortsshorts says at 1:14 pm, June 4th, 2008

    graceless*: I’m really just trying to help out without looking like I am. It’s a social disease, I tells ya.

  19. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 1:15 pm, June 4th, 2008

    If none of that works, you should just except that you are a loser, and that the popular kids don’t like you, no mater what your mother says.

  20. tunamelt says at 1:15 pm, June 4th, 2008

    Eclectablog: It might be the embedded YouTube video. I can’t seem to comment on any posts that feature a YouTube video, which is tragic, because I had so many thoughts about Laura Dern as Katherine Harris in recount.

  21. RobPetrified says at 1:18 pm, June 4th, 2008

    Since I’m not nearly so clever as I was a year ago,
    I would be willing to accept offers for my “status” as commenter.
    I’ll open the bidding wars that will surely ensue with
    a reserve of one 750ml bottle of Old Bushmills.
    If you want the avatar too, it’ll cost extra.

  22. choinski says at 1:22 pm, June 4th, 2008

    Test test test Test

  23. Eclectablog says at 1:23 pm, June 4th, 2008

    Thanks, tunamelt. That’s probably it because our corporate firewall blocks the YouTubes. *shakes fist at corporate firewall*

    It’s like they want me to work or something. Hmmmph.

  24. Eclectablog says at 1:24 pm, June 4th, 2008

    choinski: It’s not working, choinski. Better keep trying.

  25. tunamelt says at 1:34 pm, June 4th, 2008

    Eclectablog: Yeah, it’s only annoying because it didn’t used to be like that. Drat the Man.

  26. choinski says at 1:57 pm, June 4th, 2008

    Curious, my test displays my original image (snowman) and not the current image (Brian Griffin), which I changed days ago.

  27. Lone Star Buck says at 2:07 pm, June 4th, 2008

    I am in !!!!

  28. Michael Bauser says at 2:14 pm, June 4th, 2008

    It says to me: Welcome back, “Michael Bauser”!

    Gosh, suspicious much? Who would pretend to be named ‘Michael Bauser?’

  29. superdave says at 2:46 pm, June 4th, 2008

    This is a test of the emergency Wonkette posting system.

  30. WadISay says at 2:57 pm, June 4th, 2008

    Mein Fuehrer, I can comment again!

  31. shortsshortsshorts says at 3:03 pm, June 4th, 2008

    WadISay: Welcome back, “my friends.”

  32. WadISay says at 3:14 pm, June 4th, 2008

    shortsshortsshorts: It was awful! I spent a week being drawn toward a great light, I thought I had been banned, then a voice said, it’s not your time yet. If certain technical support people were secunded to the Iranian nuclear program, we could all breathe a lot easier, know what I mean?

  33. shortsshortsshorts says at 3:29 pm, June 4th, 2008

    People: All of our old comments are on Idolator ??? The time warp continues. Does this mean I can login to gawker even though I never have before?

  34. tunamelt says at 4:31 pm, June 4th, 2008

    shortsshortsshorts: You always could login to gawker. Or jezebel. Or any of those sites. And all of your old comments are still in existence, plus your secret wall and stuff.

  35. shortsshortsshorts says at 5:27 pm, June 4th, 2008

    tunamelt: Thank God. I don’t know where I would be without all those Tony the Tiger love notes.

  36. tunamelt says at 6:54 pm, June 4th, 2008

    shortsshortsshorts: Those are timeless.

  37. 1ofUS says at 6:55 pm, June 4th, 2008

    Such stylish sheets you have…wonkma.
    The better technocute you.

  38. testing… testing…
