MORE 2008 STUFF

  • HOORAY: One of your male associate editor’s favorite bloggers, the “reasonable conservative” satirist Jon Swift, asked your Wonkette to submit its best post of 2008 for his annual “best blog posts” roundup, which includes many treats for your reading pleasure. Since Ken, Sara and your male associate editor have not talked to each other in two weeks, your male associate editor secretly submitted one of his own posts in terribly selfish fashion. [Jon Swift]

    Are mom and dad fighting again?

    Too bad they’re not asking for the best blog comment submissions. Because if they were, every single one of them would be one of mine, since everything I write is pure fucking diamond-crusted gold.

  3. As a matter of personal practice, ethics and good taste, I tend to avoid having anything to do with a website, blog or whatever that “features” pictures of cats in clothing.

    Unless we’re talking about the Maneaters of Savio, and the clothing in question are the bloody rags of the East Africans and/or British settlers that the lions have just consumed.

    But perhaps, Jim, you operate under a different standard.

    Soon we shall be posting about posting about posts. It will be that moment when the Christ returns.

  5. hrhkingfriday says at 3:02 pm, December 31st, 2008

    I swear if I see one more “year in review” feature on my internets….

    the only thing more depressing than “working” today is the lack of internet content.

  6. shortsshortsshorts says at 3:03 pm, December 31st, 2008

    Larry McAwful: YA DOOD. FUCK YA.
    I like your style, “Larry.”

  7. Larry McAwful says at 3:06 pm, December 31st, 2008

    shortsshortsshorts: That’s one vote for me. Or what Katherine Harris calls “a plurality.”

    I am now King of Blogs. I’m that cool.

  8. ToeCramps says at 3:09 pm, December 31st, 2008

    I give my blog posts 5 whore diamonds. Do the in-the-tank buttsecks truck nutz of teh Wonkette agree?

  9. WhatTheHeck says at 3:10 pm, December 31st, 2008

    I too, have not “spoken” to Wonkette in weeks. Not out of design, but due to …
    And talking of “load,” Wonkette has stepped in a few which can be dumped on Jon Swift.
    Go ahead, Jim. Any pile will do. Just make us laugh, dammit.

  10. Jezus H. Christ, who reads all that crap?

  11. SayItWithWookies says at 3:17 pm, December 31st, 2008

    That took me back — yes, a mere two months, but I’d forgotten about that vicious implosion. Though I’m sure Politico did some analysis and found it was bad news for the Obama administration.

  12. Those wondering where all of that internet content went.

  13. IceCreamEmpress says at 3:21 pm, December 31st, 2008

    Submitting your own post to any “best of” compilation, no matter how pathetic, is the work of a douchenozz. That’s incontrovertible.

    But does coming clean about having done so rid you of the taint? Or does it make you twice as tainty?

    When you figure this out, send a cc: to Harry Reid. He’s looking for all the Taint-Out (TM) recipes he can find.

  14. actor212 says at 3:24 pm, December 31st, 2008

    That was quite unreasonable of you, Jim!

  15. actor212 says at 3:25 pm, December 31st, 2008

    IceCreamEmpress: We were asked to submit our own posts by Jon Swift himself, ICE

  16. That site would be far more interesting if it included more cat photos.

  17. mattbolt says at 3:29 pm, December 31st, 2008

    Who the hell knew there were that many blogs on this here internets? I just sorta sought the whole thing, the whole Internet thing, was pretty much Google, Wonkette, Wikipedia, Youtube, and about a jillion terrabytes of furry porn.

  18. mattbolt says at 3:32 pm, December 31st, 2008

    That blog should be hooked up to some sort of generator that creates incredibly long blog posts into energy, and that energy should be used to power a panini grill press, because fuck, who else around here is going to make me a panini, I’m hungry, see you guys next year

  19. IceCreamEmpress says at 3:37 pm, December 31st, 2008

    We were asked to submit our own posts by Jon Swift himself, ICE

    Fucking conservatives always want everyone else to do the work for them. Okay, I take back the “douchenozz”, Newell. I wonder if it’s too late for me to cancel that order for the gross of TAINT-AWAY I sent you?

  20. Bruno: And more cowbell.

  21. HuskyMescan says at 3:53 pm, December 31st, 2008

    Please no Peggy Noonan related posts….and posts with Blingees are too trendy.
    That is my only contribution. Thank you and Christ be with you.

  22. hobospacejungle says at 5:28 pm, December 31st, 2008

    Neilist: “As a matter of personal practice, ethics and good taste, I tend to patronize only blogs which feature pictures of cats in clothing.”

    There, fixed.

  23. Newell, what gives - I thought selfishness was a virtue at Wonkette but your post seems almost apologetic.

  24. Delicious says at 6:02 pm, December 31st, 2008

    That’s quite a collection of links to blogs that suck.

  25. chascates says at 6:03 pm, December 31st, 2008

    “I am a reasonable conservative who likes to write about politics and culture. Since the media is biased I get all my news from Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, …”

    And this is reasonable how?

  26. Wonks Adventure says at 6:26 pm, December 31st, 2008

    chascates: word analogies!

    jon swift : blogging :: steve colbert : TV

    or, to put it another way …

    jon swift : parodying conservatives :: wonkette : BUTTSEKS

  27. KevoTron says at 6:30 pm, December 31st, 2008

    SayItWithWookies: more importantly it was good for the McCain campaign.

  28. Lascauxcaveman says at 6:45 pm, December 31st, 2008

    Larry McAwful: I, for one, welcome our new McAwful overlords.

  29. IZ IN UR BLOG CONTEST CHOOSEN TEH WINER

  30. grevillea says at 7:15 pm, December 31st, 2008

    Wow, they gave you such a prime position. Now I’m going to rest my scroll finger.

  31. unprotoize says at 7:29 pm, December 31st, 2008

    I can’t believe anybody still thinks lolcats are funny.

  32. hobospacejungle: Damn you, Hobo. DAMN you, Sir! I SHALL be AVENGED!!!!

  33. Newell…your post was about 12 screens below the Bug Girl post about receiving fraudulent pubic lice in the mail. That is karmic retribution for submitting yourself.

  34. Chief Grinning Eagle says at 4:44 am, January 1st, 2009

    Sysiphus shrugged, Pegasus Farted, Medusa Looked in the mirror and got stoned.

  35. CivicHoliday says at 4:39 pm, January 1st, 2009

    why are we so far down the list? that is the real mystery.

  36. loquaciousmusic says at 9:13 pm, January 1st, 2009

    As they say in Minnesota, “Huff’da!”

    I don’t know what that means, but that has to win me several awards, no?

  37. Jon Swift is not a reasonable conservative, he is a facist and conspirator with the GOP. I therefore completely support the nomination for his blog award.
