ANNOUNCEMENTS

  • THE MEMO GOT LOST: Oh, right. In case it wasn’t obvious these past two days, your Wonkette is resting for the tragedy that will be 2009 through the New Year, meaning we’re on a “limited posting schedule” for the rest of 2008. WAIT DON’T LEAVE… we’ll still be posting every day, even on Jesus’ Birthday, but with only one editor per day. And today it’s your male associate editor! So prepare yourself for more aggravating nonsense.

    Don’t lie to us. We know you’re all out snapping up foreclosed real-estate as per the advice of your wealth-creation guru, Armando Montelongo.

  2. SayItWithWookies says at 11:41 am, December 23rd, 2008

    Which one of you is gonna be liveblogging midnight mass?

  3. CivicHoliday says at 11:43 am, December 23rd, 2008

    Jim, obviously Wonkette has decided to take part in the War on Christmas by denying us sufficient daily snark. Baby Jeebus haz a sad.

  4. Wait till NOW hears this!

  5. freakishlystrong says at 11:46 am, December 23rd, 2008

    When’s Jesus’s Birthday?

  6. So what’s your overtime pay? Are we supposed to click on 50% more ads or something?

  7. ohiolobbyist says at 11:47 am, December 23rd, 2008

    I thought that read, “your mule associate editor” which made sense. I figured Wonkette paid Bill Kristol for use of his writing donkey for the week.

  8. Crow T. Robot says at 11:49 am, December 23rd, 2008

    Nooooooooooooooo…no alt text all day.

    Jebus wept.

  9. shanemcgowan says at 11:54 am, December 23rd, 2008

    It’s ok. We can ammuse ourselves by staring at the IMVU girl at the bottom left of the page (world’s greatest 3d chat). She’s preeeddy.

  10. MoonshineJoe says at 11:56 am, December 23rd, 2008

    Crow T. Robot: Just slap Barry’s nekkid photoz on every article today imo. Its like Christmas coming early, by which I mean short, unsatisfying, and all over your pants.

  11. Bruno: the overtime pay was the 50ft tall Campbell Brown.

  12. Special Agent Jack Mehoff says at 11:58 am, December 23rd, 2008

    I’ll also be posting less over the holidays, due to furious masturbation.

  13. Jim, just start the eggnog at 8 am….posting will become much easier, and even more entertaining for us.

  14. Formerly Preferred says at 11:58 am, December 23rd, 2008

    Serolf Divad: Does Armando Montelongo have a blog? Because that would be worth reading during the Dark Times where Wonkette will be shirking its duties. That guy is crazier than a shithouse rat.

  15. You guys are pretty nice, giving Campbell Brown the week off like that.

  16. FreshCliches says at 12:05 pm, December 23rd, 2008
  17. Who will be liveblogging the long-awaited, much anticipated, ever comedic December 31 re-countdown to………the Senator of Minnesota?!

  18. Is it weird that I miss Campbell Brown? A lot? She always had a smile for me.

  19. How is that different from other days, mehoff?

  20. villageatrois says at 12:13 pm, December 23rd, 2008

    As long as you have to work, how about helping out Joliet Rod with this poetry thing?

    I think that I shall never see
    My Gov’ner hanging from a tree

    That Governor whose hungry mouth
    Has lead career moves sraightway South

    Who lies and cheats and steals all day
    And scorns the folks who have to pay

    To staple him to larch or birch
    So raptor wife will have a perch

    Snuggly nestled in his locks
    She makes the Cubs eat bags of cocks

    Terrifying to editors Tribling
    Shames Joyce Kilmer and Rudyard Kipling

  21. Yay for Newell-day! I have a total blog-crush on Mr. Newell’s stellar snark levels. In my head, I picture him as being super-cute too, in a geeky way.

  22. AfghanVet says at 12:22 pm, December 23rd, 2008

    Jesus was born in March…this is just the Christians usurping the Pagan Winter Solstice celebrations because they were so dang popular. I bet they even had big shopping days at the markets then too.

  23. Naked Bunny with a Whip says at 1:01 pm, December 23rd, 2008

    This is cruelty to me. I should call PETA.

  24. finallyhappy says at 1:14 pm, December 23rd, 2008

    I think this is because the rest of the staff is planning the big Wonkette Inaugural Ball- I hear we have REO Speedwagon and the Carpenters performing.

  25. Naked Bunny with a Whip says at 1:21 pm, December 23rd, 2008

    No Styx? Goddammit.

  26. finallyhappy says at 2:05 pm, December 23rd, 2008
  27. Wonkette Editors, If I knew where you lived I would personally deliver your Christmas Bonus - 40 grams of Amste’s finest hash to your doorstep. Bless you all, Amen
