Wonkette
LOOKING FOR A FEW BRAVE VOLUNTEERS: Hey so TPM is a pretty good blog, right? Josh Marshall and shit? Well they have a slight lead for second place over some blog we’ve never heard of called “The Confluence,” and we think good ol’ TPM deserves a little padding for that silver medal. So if you haven’t yet voted for “Best Liberal Blog” today, go give TPM your vote until it reaches, say, 3,200, well out of reach of “Confluence” thing. And remember in other categories to help out the Internet’s best new blog of 2008, ~ synthesis ~, as well as the Internet’s best small blog, Rumproast. Wonkette’s primary role is that of a Charity Blog, after all, so we’re proud to do what we can. [Weblog Awards]
YA BUT CONFLUENCE IS STILL KICKING YOUR ASS in their self-created delusions.
Guys, be nice to the Pumas. I’m trying to get laid here.
YOU WANKTARDS ARE ALL CHEATERS AND SEXISTISTS AND MEAN AND I HATE YOU WANKTARDS I HATE YOU!!!!!!
ahhh… that does feel kind of good actually.
Jim, can you please tell me how to cheat at this? I heard that Wonkette is cheating, and I would like to know how so that I, too, can be a cheater. I feel left out and want very badly to be an Obama supporter like they say I am.
Clearly, “A Blog For All” isn’t.
Jim,
Mission accomplished. Can I haz ballotz box stuffingz and big aircraft carrier?
O.K., I did my part, what do I get in return? Can I be appointed Senator of Illinois?
Sometimes I just get that “not so fresh” feeling.
NOOOO, JOSH MARSHALL IS EVIL AND MUST BE DESTROYED
I don’t know. Perhaps we should let Confluence win. I feel really bad for that big “gal”/perpetual victim from yesterday’s post. Perhaps if we all put some dollaz together, we could buy all PUMAs a round of Al Roker surgeries and gift certificates to JCPenny.
myiq2xu: Oh pleeze say you’re not after that Debbie Beegle gal in the orange t-shirt & “McCain / Palin” campaign sign?
And….
Vote for Simply Left Behind in the Weblog Awards
I’m handing out invisible ponies.
OOOOOmmmm, oh yes great and mighty Wonkette Overlord, I think not for myself and have carried out the aforementioned entreaty…. oooooommmmmm.
myiq2xu: Uh, hate to tell you this, but being nice to PUMAs guarantees nothing in the intimacy department.
Pumageddon
Wonkette never stood so tall, as when we stooped to help a synthetic child.
this post proves that Wonketteers are a bunch of gynecologists
I mean misogynists! Damn!
The war is back on? YES!
Kev-O-Tron: You are well on your way, Kev! All you need now is a house full of cats.
I think this is wonkette distracting from the main issue: JOE THE PLUMBER GOES TO ISRAEL.
But anyway… you assholes like my new avatar? Made it myself. Home cooked, down here in the american pig-fuckin’ south.
What’s a “small blog?” Is the best small blog the smallest blog, like it’s displayed in 2-point text? What size blog is this one? Sully’s a known size queen, so does he have the biggest blog on the internets?
Don’t tell Riverchuckie, but I voted for TPM. If she finds out she’ll peg me silly with her strap-on.
Your Corrupt Governor Update: The Blag Panther Party — http://driftglass.blogspot.com/2009/01/blag-panther-party.html
Also, despite all the strings Governor Shakedown has been pulled for us Chicago bloggers, over at the Weblog Awards I’m still currently getting crushed by two Very Conservative sites in the category “Best Individual Blogger” — http://2008.weblogawards.org/polls/best-individual-blogger/
Which is making my bartender very nervous.
I love how deliciously mean spirited this post is. Please designate a blog for third place, so we can vote for that too.
Reefpilot: Well played.
ARITHMETIC IS PATRIARCHY!
Ah…TPM is what now?
heroinmule:
The next TLC Thursday:
8:00 - Half Ton PUMA
9:00 - Half Ton Appalachian Hillbilly Muslin Hater
10:00 - Half Brain Plumber
I wish they would sentence all the losers (PUMAs, obvs) to read all the back post of ~ synthesis ~.
Dammit, when is this contest going to be over? Even Sully is telling people to vote for his blog. (Guess he thinks the winner gets a sash & tiara.)
DoctorCulturae: What if one’s idea of “intimacy” is to have profanities and vulgar abuse shouted at oneself by a mentally deranged woman who has imprisoned oneself in her attic?
I need to know for a, uh, friend (David Vitter).
Reefpilot:
I find myself strangely attracted to your avatar.
Reefpilot: That picture is GLORIOUS. I keep waiting for steam to shoot out of her ears and for the top of her head to explode like a bugs bunny cartoon.
Can we make Sadly, No! 3rd and knock the PUMAs off the podium?
I always thought we should elevate “Glenn Greenwald’s unclaimed territory” (his taint?) as the #3. Losing to Glenn Greewald’s taint would be the ultimate humiliation.
Charity blog? I only come here for my WARBLOG fix.
I still don’t understand what this is all for. Shorts suggested some kind of alien conspiracy and I’m just going to roll with that.
You know, for an allegedly transparent voting process, why is it that we’re not allowed to question weblogawards.org about their association with Reverend Weight, about Otis (mah MAN!), it just makes me wonder.
And I’m not a bloggist, I’m an American.
Reefpilot: Correction: Fuckers, not assholes. Folks, how many times must we go over this? Know thine buttsex roles, please.
What’s the point anymore? The head Puma has already stated, repeatedly for fifteen paragraphs, IN ALL CAPS, and in language that makes her sound like a gigantic anger-bear, that she didn’t really care if she won that silly little internet poll anyway.
The PUJMA’s feel sorry for the ~synthesis~ guy. They think that we are somehow taking advantage of him.
Texan Bulldoggette: or access to Sarah Palins medical records.
V572625694: This is classed a “Biggish blog”.
TwoWordsAYear.blogspot.com, is the world’s smallest blog. Last year, the two words it posted were “toothpaste” (in April) and the wholly unexpected “uniformly” in July.
jagorev: A valid point. But enough about Katie Couric.
Done, done and done. Suck it, PUMA blog we’ve never heard of!
I voted for Wonkette again, out of spite.
Straight Females (cept Mary Carey) - Dems
Straight Male - Dems
Gay Male - Repubs
Barely Legal - Repubs
Lesbian - Dems
S&M - Repubs
Scat - Repubs
Furry - Ron Paul
Cape Clod: and then she asked why the poll stopped taking her calls.
i’m spending all my time furiously voting for the michael jackson fan forum as the best online community, but i guess i can throw in a couple of votes for these other guys too.
ManchuCandidate:
Idiot. Wrong post.
Hart88:
Can we make up and be friends?
*man hug*
I actually voted for the PUMAs, because I think that if they end up in second place it will be hilariously insulting to everybody else.
I’m glad you guys like the new digs, as in my avatar changing from a fat cane toad to a… well, yeah
Don’t we have some PUMA guests? I made this just for you. All it took was a little freeware image snap program, some elbow grease, and 8 years of hillary rodham clinton tears.
I made it just for you ladies… and you don’t even have the goddamn good manners to show. Now that’s just rude.
Any blog that needs to translate “sic semper tyrannis” should not win any medal, ever. After the TPM boost, we have to find a good third-place candidate.
I thought we were a war blog, Jim?
ManchuCandidate: Except it somehow fits in this post as well.
At least this site lets dissenting comments get posted. You have to kiss the PUMA’s ass and be an Obama hater at pumapac.org in order to get a comment posted on that fascist PoS pumapac.org. The don’t deserve to win simply because of that reason alone. No real discussion happens over there. Just a bunch of delusional, angry, and desperate people patting each other on the ass.
wheelie: Man, I remember that July post…it was epic! I was convinced it was gonna be ‘conundrum’…but ‘uniformly’? Wow, man.
shanemacgowan: Yeah, the host of ~ synthesis ~ sounds heartbroken: “Hell - I was just hoping not to be dead-last:)! Thanks to all the Wonkettes out there!” Someone tell The Clownfluence to write a post about it.
Thanks for the re-up of charity, Jim.
NoWireHangers: Same thing, idiot. We didn’t *have* to go warring in Iraq, but our sense of charity compelled us to deliver them the
genocideflourishing democracy they have today. You’re welcome, terrorists!myiq, what will your main piece of effluence–angienc–say if you are getting pegged by riverchuckie?
man, I envy you and your total access to all that puma poon!
Cape Clod: Yes, “the honor is in being nominated”…..which for internet contests is freeping the damn thing in the beginning so you can cry “CHEATERZ!!!!1!111!!!!!” in the final runoff.
Isn’t there some way we can vote for Ron Paul?
Yay, a new fatwah. Is the rest of the jihad back on?
Reefpilot: Yes, I find Jennifer Lynn Beegle, the “unstable hambeast”, as another website referred to her, quite alluring.
zigzag: pumapac.org… Just a bunch of delusional, angry, and desperate people patting each other on the ass.
Versus Wonkette:
Just a bunch of delusional, angry, and desperate people fucking each other in the ass.
…I’m just speaking for myself, of course.
angienc? Meh. I look at her and think “what fell off the tuna truck?” She’s got bigger mudflaps than my truck.
steveeboy:
man, I envy you and your total access to all that puma poon!
Seriously, if I was one of those other blogs, I would h8 u guys so harshly right now.
Reefpilot: Sorry doll. I noticed immediately and now this is my new years resolution, to look like that. Pass the cheetos
WadISay: I don’t follow? We were just saying nice things about the good bloggers at TPM. War?
I should have known you had already moved on to one of the other bitter dead-enders…
A lot of the kitties are nurses. I wonder what my chances are of getting a proper prostate milking.
driftglass: Driftglass is a very good writer and is currently being beaten by a Jeebus lady who makes dresses out of cotton balls and doilies, and another wingnutty woman who smells like gun powder and wet dogs. Vote Driftglass!
http://2008.weblogawards.org/polls/best-individual-blogger/
PUMA lovers ask Murphy how many legitimate, respectful, but dissenting views she actually lets through the moderation phase. Ever wonder why everyone on that site agrees with you?
Don’t forget to vote for Nate Silver, even though he’s already crushing the competition. And it’s gratifying to see Politico with under 1,000 votes–half of which were cast by James Kotecki anyway.
zigzag:
I’ll ask her when she’s done giving me a knobber.
TPM leads Lilith Fair by 600 votes now! Good idea Jim!
Now, to really piss them off…get Taylor Marsh into 3rd place, as she’s a traitor to their cause rrrrawr!
I will totally keep doing this if you promise to post a reminder every day so that I will totally keep doing this. I am lazy yes, but dedicated to bringing down the bitterz!
While you’re at it, please consider supporting Pharyngula for Best Science Blog. Currently, douchebag anti-science site Watts Up With That is in the lead.
The Pharyngula blog tagline reads: “Evolution, development, and random biological ejaculations from a godless liberal,” so that should motivate some Wonketteers.
lovekills: HAHAHA, you won’t get that way eating cheetos. You need to get serious and start two-fisting chunks of cheese-cake into your word-hole, post haste, also.
N8Ma:
Taylor Marsh, that would be priceless. They hate her with the heat of a thousand suns.
They’re starting to notice:
angienc2, on January 7th, 2009 at 5:06 pm Said:
OT — not to be a bigger pain in the a$$ then usual, but please don’t forget to vote & to get friends & family to vote — we are now in 3rd place short almost 600 votes & this a.m. we were ahead by 70.
Hey, if we’re going to go balls to the wall (is that misogynistic?) in the voting, I say we hand 3rd place to Taylor Marsh. Sure, she was a Hillzbot, but she wasn’t a PUMA. I’d think a HUGE come from behind push (is that misogynistic?) would send the PUMAs into apoplexy.
I would feel dirty voting for anyone other than “our” Wonkette. Plus, we need to make sure that Wonkette gets a majority. Otherwise it won’t be legitimate.
When a PUMA dies in the forest, does its fart still travel to Houston?
I just wrote in Lizard People for all my votes.
Also, is it bad that I pity whacked it to the fattie int he video last night? I felt like I was so mean to the PUMA trolls I had to at least do something nice. This is true except replace the fattie in the video with Jennifer Aniston on the GQ cover. Okay, really, it was the CDC teen pregnancy stats but don’t tell anyone.
When does the voting close? Maybe we have time to maneuver the PUMAs into last place.
Hey there myiq2xu,
When your wounded and down on Wonkette’s domains
And the PUMAs come out to cut up what remains
Just roll to your rifle and blow out your brains
And go to Hil’ry like a soldier
Just a plan for you, when we are done with you.
What is TPM?
The Church of Realism: cheescake? that’s for amateurs. IcePickVoice is on a strict diet of Crisco from the can.
I’m tryin’ to do what the Master Wonkette has ordained, but the Weblog Award site is jammed up slower than a constipated Christmas elf.
shortsshortsshorts: Denver, where it tries to rise. And fails. Again.
I have no idea what I am voting for- these could be blogs about Bristol Palin written by amazing war correspondent Joe the Plumber- but I do as I am told. I guess I will go and read synthesis now- Rumproast -which I have voted for here and at work since being ordered to do so -is a cooking blog, right?
justlen: Yeah, but remember, they don’t care whether they “win” or not. Oh no. It’s silly and stupid and O-tards cheat on everything all the time forever.
Let’s not even mention the fact that Jim, Sara, and Ken get PAID to do this, on account of their high-trafficked website advertising moneyz (because we all click on any Obama cookie ad 100% of the time it’s displayed), while Mazzy Star and the Cranberries “write” their “blog entries” on their employer’s time, which constitutes a theft of services or something.
Which is something no Wonketeer is ever guilty of, ever, because we either a) don’t have jobs b) make money from our pr0n websites or c) are stuck in libraries procrastinating our dissertations…
FreshCliches: WIN!! and JINX as well.
Actually the bitterz will appreciate anything that comes from behind. Ever since Sarah Palin’s little traffic accident I think.
Agh either my browser is palined (Or is it “trigged” or “tracked” or “willowed”) or the whole Weblog award server thing is down. I wanted to vote for the Nate Silver nerd/hero too.
Obamaton:
I might have to blow my brains out. I’ve seen Riverchuckie naked.
thefrontpage: Toilet Paper Mess - what happens when a finger accidently pokes through the paper when in use. You should learn to use urbandictionary.
There’s another PUMA friendly blog out there called Deadenders nominated for Best Hidden Gem:
http://2008.weblogawards.org/polls/best-hidden-gem/
It’s currently losing to “The Pajama Pundit” but it’s not losing by enough.
Hey Ken Lane you silly boy, we have not given up, you could be sure that we will win in the end cause cheaters never win, especially kool aid drinking obots. I have issues a prowl today and everyday until the polls are closed, you and your rumproast friends will lose and I feel sorry for you and your members. Here is a link to the post that includes a nice picture of you, enjoy!
http://pumapac.org/2009/01/07/the-daily-pig/#comments
Done, and done.
Mine is not to reason why. Mine is but to brown the eye.
Is it bad that I finger myself while reading rumproast.com?
Is Roland “Roland” Burris nominated anywhere? Cuz he needs a few more lines on his cavernous marble resume.
Riverdaughter:
Nah, I do the same thing myself. Kevin makes my clenis hard.
You know what I just realized. Maybe our new trolls really are, and have always been, Tony the Tiger. Think about it: Tony’s signature disillusioned, unjustified hatred of Brack HUSSEIN Noobama, an inability to comprehend the tone and humor of Wonkette and/or the Wonkette reader, desperate cries for attention/human interaction, and uncomfortable sexual references are now seasoned with twisted interpretations of “sexism” and “feminism”. Maybe a cousin? An inbred relative? It’s fascinating, and perhaps all too real…
MurphyPUMA: Oh noes!!!!!! Its the prowl!!!!! I don’t think we will be able to defeat a prowl!!!! What is a prowl?
Is that when a bunch of granny panty wearing, menopausal women come on here, try to troll, and then we laugh at them? If so, I think last night showed we could handle a prowl and our drinking and porn responsibilities at the same time.
As I said yesterday, get back in the kitchen and get me a sammich and Fanta then get back in the corner and finish eating that bag of dicks, hag.
XOMuffintop:
Bring it, big man! I eat bags of dicks for breakfast!
wait, that didn’t come out right…
MurphyPUMA: The problem with your plan, as well as your site, is that by accepting only those who agree with you tacitly, your group of friends and contacts gets smaller and smaller, just like your mental scope. I feel sorry for the five people who all those PUMAs are going to contact. Mainly because it will be the same five people. Captain Spaulding and Lanny Davis will be busy tonight. Wait…
NoWireHangers: Its possible, BUT, that would mean that TtT also controls the PUMApac…wait…he is represented by a sugary cereal logo…Okay. I could see it.
Wow, MurphyPUMA even admits it has issues.
NoWireHangers: He still haunts Gawker, masquerading as a society matron. It’s weird.
Hey, don’t blame me for the pumas. I think they’re fucking nuts.
I became comfortable with my cankles years ago.
Rumproast exists to preach hatred of PUMA’s. They are the Hamas of the small blog universe. At the risk of banishment, I steadfastly refuse to be a party to it. Let them launch their verbal Qassam missiles from someone else’s schoolhouse. PUMA’s have ruled these lands for two years, the equivalent of centuries in small blog time. We will not be driven into the sea of blog indifference. No, let the word go out from this time and place, never again! We will not surrender our homeland to the blog thugs who seek to see us destroyed. Shalom bitches.
I thought there were like millions of PUMAs ready to assemble in a moment’s notice at the crack of Hilldog’s whip. They can’t even hustle 4000 bots to vote?
Damn, when we created Paultards, we not only got them to vote incessantly on every damn virtual poll on the entire internetz, we even got those fools to give money. Come on PUMAs! Are you saying the Paultard nation, whose name you foolish co-opted for your petty putdowns, are your betters? I think, nay, I know so. Paultards > PUMAs.
You know what we need here, right? For Ben & Jerry’s to make a PUMA ice cream flavor for these sad sacks to stuff into their insatiable maws. I hope one of the flavors is unicorn tears. And regret, heavy heavy on the regret.
XOMuffintop: what he said- and play with my balls too.
Darragh Murphy: How funny is that? I am pitching a new breakfast treat to Post called “Bag of Dicks.” It will be like Pop Tarts. Except have less of a baked texture and more of a, you know, dick-like texture and feel.
This war with the PUMAs is getting really weird. It reminds me of the fear I had during the paultard march.
N8Ma: Yahtzee!
So, if you insult a PUMA you’re a misogynist. If you insult Obama you’re racist. And if you insult Obama and a PUMA and you’re drunk, you’re a Wonketteer?
Kev-O-Tron: I can’t reach that far.
Jim Newell: If you have a banhammer now would be the time to use it. I don’t know if I have the strength for another night of war blogging…This post could surpass 700 comments if you don’t act quickly, Jim.
american mutt: I can’t drink for medical reasons. What does that make me?
american mutt: Seems about right.
Canuck13652: Yeah, if we end up with less than 50% + 1, we’ll have to have a run-off with Saxby Chambliss; and he’s too busy groping his granddaughter right now.
MurphyPUMA: It can be hard to tell the irony from the double and the double-double irony around here. I’m going with your being an ironist. And it seems you’ve suitably agitated the WonkArmy, that many of us must be trying to register at pumapac.org, as the damn thing’s all frozed up. But we have so much to share! C’mon, can’t we play in your litter box?
NoWireHangers: Yeah, I am a little tired from last night and don’t want to repeat the same juvenile jokes two nights in a row. I am going to shut up now. PLease, Jim, do something to end this.
Barrett808: You have a point about Pharyngula. Apart from that, “Watt’s Up With That” appears dedicated to proving (through careful data selection and manipulation) that global warming is a Marxist/Gay Homosexual invention.
http://2008.weblogawards.org/polls/best-science-blog/
You guys are much cooler than the kitties. Can I come hang with you? Do your women shave their legs?
NoWireHangers: Agreed! The last thing these commercial blogs sites need is page views.
XOMuffintop: sad and lonely would be my guess.
When you guys start arguing with the fake “Darragh Murphy” you are arguing with yourselves, you know that don’t you? poor obot boiz, you are so lost.
WARBLOGGERS!!@@!@!~!1111!!!11!!
XOMuffintop: I missed a blogwar? One night away from my computer, and I miss out on all the fun?
Who won?
MurphyPUMA: So you’re saying Ken has multiple members? HAWT!
Barrett808: Rumproast: Driftglass and Pharyngula — sure, why the hell not. I’ve done my part.
MurphyPUMA: Is this performance art? Does anyone know if this person is real? She/he/it is getting me all hot.
FreshCliches: I didn’t see your ass in the trenches. I saw men die last night! Where were you? Burning your draft card in Canada, you hippie scum! I ain’t goin’ back to ‘Nam!
Barrett808: I’ll second that.
PZ Myers of Pharyngula fits in well with your typical Wonketteer. Fans of irony that we are, he was expelled from the line entering a preview showing of Ben Stein’s “Expelled”…..while security let Myers’ guest, some Richard Dawkins fellow, in for the film.
Back to the den, thanks for all the traffic boiz!
MurphyPUMA: Hey, I saw you on MSNBC. Are you still giving money to McCain like you did back in 2000? He has a new pac now. And thanks for analogizing your dumb weblog fight with Wonkette to Clinton’s humiliating loss in the primaries to President-Elect HUSSEIN Noobama. Picking that scab should lead to days of fun.
Vewol Mevemont: Slow down there. Sex with a PUMA is probably as much fun as fucking a banister.
MurphyPUMA: You must be a delight at dinner parties. I would probably prefer to converse with the teenagers at the table. They’d make more sense and would definitely have a better sense of humor. I think it’s worth pointing out that (from what I know) nobody on this blog is a “frat boi”. I’m sure most of us we’re the people far, far away from Greek Alley. Get over yourself.
myiq2xu: Well, you need a thick skin instead of a thick skull, I noticed you are even PUMA enough to allow for freedom of speech in your thread.
Sad really, I had so much love to give.
Well, I voted for TPM, but I didn’t like it. I’m haunted by Josh Marshall and his smug little face peering out from his blog. Micah, my ass.
MurphyPUMA: THANKS FOR YOUR WAR BLOGGINZ!!!!12!!!!!!
MurphyPUMA: Make sure to take your bucket of Krispie Kremes and Oprah Diet Books with you! Lord knows a growing pride like yours has no pride when it comes stuffing the yearly food budget of an El Salvadorian family into their gut every night!
Personally, I am still amazed you can type with such fat childless fingers. Good job cupcake!
Sorry, no real cupcake.
Wonkette GAME TIME!
PUMA is an abbreviation for what kinds of sexual games?
shortsshortsshorts: ARRGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHGGHGGHGHGHHGGH!!!!!!!! (deep breath) AGGGHHHgh cahg caghh…i need a drink.
Oh hey doods! Look what I just found on teh Facebook…
http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/group.php?gid=25214715411
Notice one Darragh Murphy listed as an officer on the right side. Shall we?
(see what I did there?)
Kev-O-Tron: 1) PUMAs are a lot like mopeds, a lot of fun to ride till your friends see you on one.
2) No PUMA is a delight a dinner party, unless it’s held at Furr’s. Jesus, could you imagine the food bill for a table a mountainous PUMAs devouring half a grocery store at your table?
Kev-O-Tron: I’ve fucked some pretty wild barristers in my day. Wait, banisters?
Otto Reimer:
I’ve seen their cheesecake feeding frenzy. It isn’t pretty.
NoWireHangers: Trenches? I’m a specialist; I do recon.
Semper (Ass)Fucking Fi!
myiq2xu: cheesecakeS, CAKES, my friend.
myiq2xu: I thought you were a PUMA? What’s going on? This is stupid. . .
Kev-O-Tron: Have you read their description?
“Let the Counter-Movement Begin”
“PUMAs — have banded together to form a coalition of the unwilling”
This is their manifesto — a counter-movement of unwilling.
Rodney Badger:
I couldn’t take the smell of baby powder and moth balls anymore.
Kev-O-Tron: game on
OK, next we should all vote for Glenn Greenwalk so it can get third place over the pumas.
vote for dumfuksociety.dumspot.fuk
myiq2xu: Optional on the shaving. About 30% of the “women” here are actually underage Thai ladymen who do have to shave for their clients in the Senate. If that doesn’t describe you, you’re probably ok regardless of your shaving habits.
As for the rest of you ladymen, let me remind you that whorediamonds don’t come cheap in this economy. Shave, shave, shave!
Vewol Mevemont:
I can live with that, as long as there aren’t cats. My god, I’m sick of all the cats the pumas have.
myiq2xu: well played sir.
I have obeyed, Master.
american mutt: CHEK OWT MIE BLAWG.
Kev-O-Tron: snicker
XOMuffintop: Being a simple pothead also works for me. At least, I haven’t been banned yet
I vote every day, like a good Wonkette should, but I still can’t find a spot to write in “HILLARY SENT ME.” Suggestions…..?
And I think Taylor Marsh deserves LOTS of Wonk support, just to watch the ensuring YouTube footage of PUMA head-valve meltdowns.
myiq2xu: I’ve only seen a few cats here and they are always fully shaved.
undermedicated: The war was great and bloody. Sadly, as we learned from the past, no one ever really wins a war.
Kev-O-Tron: I just love that her actual name is Daragh. It’s like her parents knew what kind of hilarious mess she’d grow up to be and just named her after the weary groaning noise people make when they think of her.
Rodney Badger: myiq2×0 is a closeted ghey that eats PUMA puss and hates negros, so they love him and tolerate his misogyny. Here, he has found a home where he can get his fix of sexism and racism while posting nonsensical comments, sans the cankles. Bienveniedos myiq.
Is everyone caught up now?
Canuckledragger: I want to stuff Taylor’s box real good with hard, thick wads of fake ballots… but I don’t know how.
You know— the PUMA’s over at Confluence actually BELIEVE in something. What are YOUR beliefs, Wonkette commenters? What’s the matter, cat got your tongue?
YA, I BET IT DID.
Therefore, from this moment on, I will only troll PUMA websites, not only because they have beliefs, but because those beliefs are so fucking hilarious to watch.
problemwithcaring: Hmmm. All of that makes me feel a bit dirty.
MurphyPUMA: Okay new rule. No one go to any PUMA site since they are obviously lonely and are trolling us in an attempt to lure us to their sites to steal our seed and masculine powers. It’s a trap.
american mutt: a counter-movement of unwilling. That sounds like something a halfway decent laxative could take care of.
So do you think PUMA will become a new genre of porn anytime soon?
problemwithcaring:
You magnificent bastard. Awesome post.
Reefpilot: That’s a thing of beauty. (If you define beauty as “the kid in Two and a Half Men“.)
shortsshortsshorts: yeah, but I went to synthesis and he is really serious and intelligent. That is so boring- I can get that kind of stuff at work(when I’m not on Wonkette)- but I am voting as often as possible for everyone wonkette tells me to- also. PUMAS- “Also” is a Plain joke- get it now?
So many PUMA’s to shoot, so little time to take careful aim. The F-book, now there’s a target-rich environment.
Vewol Mevemont: Well wonketteer - buck up! Remember this is a charity site. myiq is dangerously unfunny. Help this man. Wonkette seems to be all he has now.
Can someone explain to me how a PUMA publication is classified as a Liberal blog? Those award people need a lobotomy or an enema or something.
Hahaaaa…the bitterz have now gone to the ~synthesis~ comments to beg him to not accept his award if he wins…it’s a thing of beauty!! http://interacc.typepad.com/synthesis/
Raumfahrer:
I MUST POST THIS EVERYWHERE:
Wonkettes are a bunch of self-congratulatory, delusional gadflys. You ought to read their blog before you thank them.
Posted by: portia9 | Jan 07, 2009 at 15:50
Shafeen, your blog is very nice, but I can’t help but notice that your participation is much smaller than that of your nearest competitors, Uppity Woman & the Black Sphere.
I’m sure you are aware that the older, larger blog wonkette, is instructing their readers to vote for you, not becuz they like your site, or ever bothered to look at it, but in order to spite the Uppity Woman blog because they are/were Hillary Clinton supporters. I can see from your posts that you are honorable as well as intelligent, and would probably rather win an award the old fashioned way, rather than as the result of hatefulness and divisiveness.
Therefore, I have a suggestion for you that will undoubtedly make you a hero with thousands of “puma fans” and increase your blog activity: if the wonkettes prevail, and you win, why not step down and decline the award for the reason that you don’t wish to condone the “fixing” of the races by the older, bigger, bully blogs? There are hundreds of small puma blogs and I guarantee you that you would achieve hero/cult status among them if you took such a bold stand for integrity.
If you disagree, that’s fine, and I hope you won’t take offense. Best wishes to you!

Hell - I was just hoping not to be dead-last:)! Thanks to all the Wonkettes out there!

You, by default of Wonkette chance, are the best new blog in America. Check the link. Congratulations.

That is soooooooo funny.
Trace: FYI, Daragh is a man’s name.
Raumfahrer: Yeah, this is my favorite part: ” There are hundreds of small puma blogs and I guarantee you that you would achieve hero/cult status among them if you took such a bold stand for integrity.”
Hero/cult status among a creepy bunch of whackos?
Well, worked for Jesus, I guess. I say go for it, man. He’d be literally drowning in PUMA vag if PUMA vag wasn’t so dry and desolate.
shortsshortsshorts: You know, I will cop to being a self-congratulatory gadfly, but I am certainly NOT delusional.
Jukesgrrl, fucking great question. Those fuckers are about as liberal as Bush is intelligent.
shortsshortsshorts: That’s priceless
i know it’s been said before, but we DID have uppity 1st! and they’re taking rushbo’s ideas from november, and crying about the armored limo not being “green” enough. guess he should just hollow out a head of cabbage & roll down pennsylvania ave.
Madeline: I still say it’s not even really a name, though. It sounds like the Klingon word for mucus farts or something.
shortsshortsshorts: The threat of being a hero to legions of PUMA everywhere should he decline the award surely will convince him to do otherwise.
I know I’m enjoying a Wonkette post when it’s time to leave work but I just don’t want to. Need to hit ‘refresh’ a couple more times!
Now that TPM has a solid lead for the silver, how about Glen Greenwald for the bronze?
I really wish all you Wonketters would stop insulting PUMAs with the saggy boobed, smelly cunt, and hairy legs comments. It’s a real insult to my saggy boobs, smelly cunt, and hairy legs. As to granny-panties wearing: they’re all cotton and quite comfortable so I don’t get what the fuck your problem is.
saggyboobedhag: Ya but you aren’t an adequate woman because you aren’t a PUMA, but probably some YOUNG STUPID SLUT. Yaaa I’m onto you, grandma Palin.
Do NOT let these cheating pigs win by intimidation, dirty tricks, and sexist onlsaught
Well that’s not fair, we’re really just winning with dirty tricks. If Master Ken is about to launch some kind of “sexist onslaught”, this is one serf who has “other priorities”, I’ve seen pictures of the Pumas, that’s just a bridge too far, Ken. Who knew fat and ugly had it’s own PAC? Why in the world aren’t you tiffing with the swimsuit model blog? We’d probably be willing to mount that onslaught for ya.
Now that we’ve put TPM beyond Confluence’s reach, who should we make pass them next? The last place blogs are called “Taylor Marsh” and “Orcinus”. Do y’all think we should give one, or both of them a boost past Confluence?
hey, I looked at synthesis so the PUMA is a liar. It is written by an obviously intelligent young man(makes the blog unfunny)- who should be very scared that turning down the “award” would get him lots of attention from PUMAs.
shortsshortsshorts: Okay, you got me. Not about my age but my lack of adequacy. I didn’t ever support Hilary. I was so racist I actually supported Edwards and I’ve been crying ever since about giving his new baby oops I mean his campaign the money my sick relatives needed because they don’t have health insurance. Oh, I’m sorry. Perimenopause has affected my memory. I’m confusing myself with the crying PUMA (do all of them cry?) in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vVnaN8qC04
If we focus on crooks and liars every other day, I bet we can knock those whores off the top 3. In an effort to be featured on their blog, I would also like to advocate rape.
saggyboobedhag: Ooooo that video has so many wonderful comments. I didn’t read them all, but I like this one’s STARK TRUTH and TOTAL FUTURE TELLING CLARITY:

Betty Jean. You speak for so many people out there. HILLARY CLINTON WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO FOUGHT FOR UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE FOR TWO DECADES. OBAMA IS A FRAUD. God help us with this Empty Suit in power!
Show emotion. There’s nothing to do but cry with Obama now calling the shots. Watch out for shoes falling…
__________________
Shoes falling? Eh? Sure. Why not.
shortsshortsshorts: Sweet Raptor Jesus, what a bunch of delusional sociopaths.
Wonketteers, I just want to thank you for the all the lulz.
PUMAs are too rancid for me to deal with, but all of you came through like the SEXIST, MEAN, BULLYING, CHEATING, HILLARY HATING superstars that you are!
Kev-O-Tron: Hey, that Kim Frederick is pretty hot. If I friend her, will I get a PUMA date?
shortsshortsshorts: Yeah, the video is sad because BEtty Jean’s children have no health insurance and have/had fatal diagnosis. And what’s really sad is that she gave money for their drugs to HILARY’s CAMPAIGN and WANTS IT BACK. I kid you the fuck not.
Yes, Betty Jean has stunning reasoning powers. I think the really humane thing to do is for all the Wonkette folks to go over to Betty Jean’s and Important Documentary Lady’s house and stage an intervention. For the future of American. And all that shit.
saggyboobedhag: So through the transitive property… Obama stole her health insurance money?
saggyboobedhag: For what it’s worth - obviously you can’t be empathetic to someone’s tragedy - but luckily Betty Jean has no empathy for someone who’s got a little tiny peepee (such a sad little unimportant man).
This may have been stated in one of the comments about PUMAs earlier, but isn’t there some cognitive dissonance in the fact that these strange people are obsessed with Hillary Clinton, pissed at Obama, and Clinton is going to be Obama’s Secretary of State? Isn’t this just a mite wackaloonish?
The Church of Realism: me need cheeez cake post haste. A bit difficult while puffing on my smoke and taking shots for the whole two fisted action, but I will work on this.
american mutt:One must infer that BO CHEATED her out of it.
Besides, Didn’t he campaign so that all uninsured people who get fatal diseases would have no treatments or drugs? Or is that only white people? I get so confused with my untreated perimenopause.
Oh, Christ. You leave for a couple of hours and when you come back, you feel like Josh Brolin at the beginning of ‘No Country For Old Men.’
Wonketteers:
Now I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his blog. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his blog.
Now there’s another thing I want you to remember. I don’t want to get any messages saying that “we are holding our snark.” We’re not holding anything. Let the Confluence do that. We are snarking constantly and we’re not interested in holding onto anything except the PUMAs. We’re going to hold onto him by the nose and we’re going to kick him in the ass. We’re going to kick the hell out of him all the time and we’re going to go through him like crap through a goose!
Men, all this stuff you’ve heard about Wonkette not wanting to snark, wanting to stay out of the war, is a lot of horse dung. Wonketteers traditionally love to snark. All real Wonketteers love the sting of snark. When you were kids, you all admired the champion punster, the fastest joker, big league trucknutz, the toughest assfuckers. Wonketteers love a winner and will not tolerate a loser. Wonketteers play to win all the time. I wouldn’t give a hoot in hell for a man who lost and laughed. That’s why Wonketteers have never lost, and will never lose a war… because the very thought of losing is hateful to Wonketteers.
That is all.
“The Confluence” is like the Bizarro World Version of Wonkette - unfunny, dumb and sparsely populated.
And also, not sexy. Visiting Wonkette is like visiting a beautiful deadly superhero-courtesan. Visiting The Confluence is like visiting a Walmart greeter in Nebraska, with four teeth, and the glassy eyes of death.
Cape Clod: Surprised to still be working?
Lionel Hutz Esq.: YAAAYYYY!! Tell us another war story, Daddy! Tell us the one about the precious bodily fluids! That’s my favorite!
2coool: Did you just say “peepee”? Really? All the terms for penises in the English language and….
Peepee?
It’s that PUMA penis envy, rearing its ugly head. So to speak.
shortsshortsshorts: And WE are the cheaters? They are begging other bloggers to refuse an award? Wow. Just… wow.
shortsshortsshorts: Being the judicious git I am, I actually went and looked at ~synthesis~ and THEN voted for it.
Its a great little blog with a great different look.
Now I find myself in favor of voting Confluence to the toilet. Oh, wait, they are already there.
I feel like making them feel so insignificant that they invest in flexi-straws to self felch.
Obamaton: That blogger hasn’t maid poast in two days. What the hell? I can’t wait to see what he says about all this shit. It’s probably gonna be super smart. I won’t understand it.
So what’s the deal with myiq2xu? Is he actually interested in Wonkette, or is he just trolling in the hope of finding us saying something naughty? I get the feeling he’s trying to be fake friends with us so that he can report back to his masters about how awful we are. Once the web awards are done, can we please go back to blissfully ignoring these people? Dear god, the level of crazy over there makes me want to sharpen some wooden stakes. Vampire killing time, people!
Rodney Badger: And he’s not added Wonkette to his blogroll. That which is Wonkette is not to be be trifled with. He does mention us, which is nice, but surely that will not do. We need baubles and trinkets. Ideally the sort that might be slipped in and out of a rumproast.
XOMuffintop: could be a conflict here, I’m marketing my new BagODicks oven pastry. Warm and hard before you stick them in the oven, then soft and creamy in a few seconds. Pop them in your mouth for a burst of quick energy, but you have to hurry or the filling will spill. Good for your complexion too.
user-of-owls: ‘Conundrum’ was always a probability but I think word got out too much. My InTrade munnies are all on ‘paraffin’ for 2009, but for the love of god, keep that to yourself.
Mad Farmer… of Science!: Same retard, different retard — who cares?
I’d go after all the copyright infringing going on, myself.
Hit ‘em where it hurts.
grevillea: Point well taken.
They delete comments, even reasonable ones, but they leave the replies which are then totally out of context. Strange. They’ve got issues. I just have this mental image of sad people scrubbing and scrubbing and scrubbing themselves in a vain attempt to feel better about the cesspool that is their emotions. “Cant’. Get. Clean.”
MurphyPUMA: That’s some pig! Terrific. Radiant, even! But humble.
Trace: Somehing like that.
Mad Farmer… of Science!: Absolutely right! It’s as though they’re allergic to logic or any well-thought-out, well-written argument that might further crumble their sad, sad, delusions.
That, or they’re just so awash in their own fetid vaginal juices that they can’t see the screen. I mean, who actually goes so far to delete disagreeing comments?
Oh, I know who — that ‘tard preacher who was so gay for Tom Tancredo back in the day, because he would rid our scorched land of TEH MESSICANS.
phineas_bounderby: Ohhhh. I know what you mean.
To the PUMAs that walk among us, I understand being upset that your candidate lost a primary. I also understand being upset with the selected nominee.
Back in 2000, I supported Nader in the election. I handed out fliers, signed people up to vote green, and publicly railed against the, sigh, “two party duopoly.” (If you ever went to Prospect Park this past summer, you probably ran into and updated version of Young Me.) I didn’t want to support Gore because I was super-anti large corporations, and Nader was strong on ending corporate welfare and Gore, well, wasn’t. So I thought, “So what if I agree with Gore on issues like abortion, the environment, stem-cell research, etc.? This other issue is more important to me and — party unity my ass — I’m going to campaign for this crazy looking dude who I agree with slightly more. Besides, if Bush squeaks out a tiny win, he couldn’t be that bad, right?”
Then Bush won, in part because of the votes Nader sucked away from Gore. And then came the stem cell ban. And then the Bush tax cuts. And then the War on Terror. And then Iraq. And then torture. And then the vilification of all Muslims. And then the assault on abortion. And then gay marriage bans. And then… you get my point.
PUMAs, there’s a lesson to be learned from that story of Young Me. You have every right to be upset at the Democratic leadership. You have every right to lobby the Democratic Party to change it’s stances. But when you support the Republicans by either not voting Democrat (my case) or by publicly supporting the Republican candidate (the PUMA case), really fucking bad things can happen. This is why we hate you. After eight years of total shit, you still don’t understand this. So, go fuck yourselves. Go fuck yourselves really, really hard.
Now back to your regularly scheduled assfucking jokes…
We have lost the F-book battle. Poor choice of a battlefield, in retrospect. Best rickroll bomb of all time was laid, casualty count unknown. No trace.
Love this from the “About Us” section at Confusence:
“It seems like an apt metaphor for bringing the divided together again. We will start with the Democratic party and then work to bring together the rest of the country. We will come together at our common goals and go forward together, strengthened and mighty.”
So there ya go, Wonketters! Pretty soon we’ll all be wearing Lane Bryant slacks and bad home perms while we feed our 439 cats by throwing food on the floor. Then later it’ll be out to the streetcorner for a good ol’fashioned yelling sesh, because why not?
OT completely, but…
I wanted to see what garbage they are babbling about over at Team Sarah. I got banned before for saying moderate and reasonable things about the PE and his wife, so I just used my other computer. But GET THIS. You are not even allowed to LOOK at that blog without membership approval. And you absolutely MUST answer the question about what you like most about Sarah. Srsly. If you cannot correctly state why you want to put your head in that woman’s crotch you don’t even get to read what her half-wit fans write on their blog!!!1!1
Holy fascism, batman. Imagine if this woman were VP. You’d have to show your brain-washing id tattoo before you would be allowed to take a piss in this cunt-tree.
Obamaton: I did as well. As much as I’d like to mindlessly follow people I’ve never met on their quest to promote a blog I’ve never heard of, I think it’s important to maybe kinda sorta LOOK AT IT. However, I did, and other than his INSANE picture, the blog is worthy of a second read.
daisy chain: The last word of your comment reminded me of The Greatest Album of All Time.
HuskyMescan: My super-secret-super-hero name is O. B. Gynkinobee.
Jesus tits I go away to eat dinner and this place goes nuts. I love it.
I haz voted for teh wonkettes.
Mad Farmer… of Science!: God, I just had a look at their site again (can’t avert my eyes from the wreckage, though I know I should). They have a counter proudly showing they have deleted 32,000 ’spam messages’ aka comments that do not reinforce their world view. Hermetically sealed echo chamber, like living inside a pinball machine!
WAITAMINUTE, this Pumablog is REAL? This sarcasm is killing me inside, I thought this was a Wonkette associate doing this for lulz and WARBLOGGING. These people are real? That’s not funny, it’s just sad.
shortsshortsshorts: Insane pic? What? He has a lovely, enormous smile. Be still my cold, cold, yet still beating heart!
Nigerian Business Executive: You have to understand, I judge everything on appearances. If Jim Newell weren’t on the cover of Maxim in that string bikini of hers, I don’t think I could go to this SANCTITY of a website anymore.
OH NOES!! WE R LOOZING PERCNTAGEZ!
shortsshortsshorts: I only promoted a blog I’d never heard of in the hopes that it would freak out some people from a blog I unfortunately have heard of. These PUMAs just seem to care SO MUCH about this, and it’s awesome seeing them collectively lose their shit over it.
I’m not sure those are actual gadflies, but close enough, yes?
Saying that “The Confluence” is a “Liberal Blog” is equal to saying that Midol is a nutritional supplement. But I mean that in a good way. Yupe.
Keram2: Well, it’s been twenty five years since I’ve been to Prospect Park. But I do understand your parable.
Trace: I don’t understand their burning need to win this. It would be kinda cool to win, sure, but it’s just a silly popularity contest. It’s as of they feel their lives are mired in an infinite void and that they must cling to something - anything - to validate their their meaningless existence.
Oh wait. I guess I do get it.
Trace: Well I said it somewhere else, but I fully believe that bringing such fossils of mindless idiocy and obscurity is just what this cuntry needs. VIVA LA PUMA REVOLUCION.
OK, ok, I’m sorry.
I hung our at the Effluent just trying to get laid, I didn’t know it would be the rag on a stick muumuu crowd.
I’m done with that.
I’l suck cocks for a nickel a throw to get my self esteem back.
CARCUNTZ!(tm)-R-Us: I guess we’ll have to crank up the reps on our Wonkette Hitbox proxy server as soon as I get more cash from Ken or Jim. I’m sure glad I enabled PM mode so none of those PUMA conchudas can read this…otherwise we just generated another blog post for them
Pinche Gringo: Damnation! We’re outed!
the pumas want some blog called “fuck you, penguin” to win “best pet blog”. rise up, good wonketteers! once more into the breech!
myiq2xu: I’ll believe it when your bio is off the ‘About Us’ page.
Keram2: I probably was standing next to you at NYC Nader headquarters election night 2000 with the same thoughts beginning to bubble in my head as I saw Nader wasn’t going to get the 5% we were all dreaming about.
Is da company JoedaPlumber iz bloggin for, Pajamas Media up fer any awards?
My mouse finger is too tired to click on all the categores. Just saying we should fail it, so that everything this guy touches goes down in flames.
slinkimalinki: so what are we going for? the lolcats? the rat one has a picture of rat nutz.
um, I can haz fucking gadflies avatar back?
FreshCliches: Surely you know, that one only gets told after Jim takes over and seals off the blog, then sends us out to defeat Drudge in one final battle. Then we will need to make sure that we drink only filtered grain spirits.
AnnieGetYourFun: Of course we are cheaters, Annie. If you had been at the meeting of the cabal the runs the world, you would have known this.
Still, if only Hillary had thought of asking Barack to turn down the nomination because he was elected through caucuses that didn’t have the sense to actually vote for Hillary. Why didn’t the PUMAs put this plan in action when they had a chance?
slinkimalinki: Well I agree with them there…. or maybe icanhascheezburger.com
Mommy, what was a Puma before it became a Puma?
This post was tagged as “snark”:
http://riverdaughter.wordpress.com/2009/01/07/is-this-the-hopey-hopey-change-they-told-us-about/#comment-266287
No. That shit is not snark and I will not stand for fake snark.
Keram2: I don’t understand how Harry Reid being a limp noodle is somehow Obama’s fault. But then again, they did post that video of misogynistic/creepy ads, then somehow tied Obama into THAT, so whatever. Tomorrow they’ll post a video of the Hindenburg disaster and tie that to Obama, too. Then they’ll say, “lol, but not oh the humanity cuz teh one ain’t no humanity, he a muslin woman hater.” And then they’ll try really hard to put into text the bizarre snarling noises they make.
Obamaton: Being less high-minded than you, I initially voted for ~synthesis~ just to fuck with the idiots at Confluence. But after taking a look at it, I have to agree - he’s got tons of interesting things to say, and the pages are full of eye candy. Good stuff, which I’ll keep reading it well after this ‘war’ is over. Rumproast’s great, too; thanks, PUMAs, for introducing me to great new blogs!
TPM seems to be pounding Confluence into the ground. I gave them a vote anyway.
Jay-Z, I go away for a little while and this happens. This is like being a third-stringer on a team, and the first team is destroying some crappy opponent. And they’re having too much fun larfing their asses off to let us non-letter jacket guys in. I mean, shortshortshorts gets the ball at the top of the key, leaps for a super jam, and grabs the rim, cackling wildly, as he teabags the captain of the Conflatulence team. I’d dump Gatorade on him but it might mess up his spray-on tan and highlights.
daisy chain: I wrote in that “Why do you like Palin” question something like: “She seem like nice ladie”
I finally got my TeamSarah account activated after a week. I’ve been too busy reading about Pumas to worry about them (for now)
Reading PUMA blog threads was eerily familiar to me for some reason I could not place. Then I realized that it reminded me of how I felt after a bunch of my friends and I stumbled into a LARP party while drunk. One of us asked “Why the fuck are all you idiots wearing all this black shit?” and the LARPERS totally overreacted. I felt this weird mixture of pity and disgust, but it was totally hilarious at the same time, just like I feel with the PUMA threads.
Thanks for letting me share guys.
Rodney Badger: Wazza LARP?
Hey Wonkette admins i have sekret inside information about TeamSarah if someone was interested!
grevillea: Live Action Role Player. Guys who attend trade shows the end in “-con”, wherein they wear costumes.
Maus: senz it to teh tips@wonkette.com, moran. };-D
daisy chain:
The secret to that question at Team Sarah is how it’s phrased: “Do you love Sarah Palin, or what? What do you like the most about Sarah?”
Correct answer: Yes
It also helps to use a throwaway AOL account.
So I guess “Her hair?” won’t get me in.
SERIOUSLY. I’ve been reading that Confluence blog. I can’t even describe how much I hate them. Can we vote for Crooks and Liars now and knock confluence into forth place?
They are defending Palin. ‘Nuff said?
After reading the captivating prose over at The Effluence, I humbly urge Jim, Ken, and SKS to invite the reg’lars to submit their individual stories of “Why I Am A Wonketteer”. It’ll be theraputic, kind of like steps 4 through 7, but without a deity, and projected onto others.
daisy chain: So I guess “Her hair?” won’t get me in.
That depends. I combined the “Yes” answer with an email addy that had “Hill Hags” in it, and I got in.
Make of that what you will. Godspeed.
Also.
AWOcoholic: Ur just jealous cos they hav secret santas and recipes an shit…
FreshCliches: Thanks. Will now commence drafting a presentation on “My Faith Journey”… oops, I mean “Why I Am a Wanktard”
grevillea: Easy does it. One Wank At A Time.
Congrats wonkers, by proving that you can manipulate the voting totals (for juvenile reasons), you have just made the weblog awards completely irrelevant.
Really? What shall we make irrelevant next? Ron Paul?
I’m trying to keep myself awake all night to catch a plane, sorry.
Shall we vote for Crooks & Liars or Unclaimed Territory next? I like both.
Herunar: I say crooks and liars. BTW, it’s late and I think we are alone in here. God I hope you are a teenage boy.
Kev-O-Tron: I’m on the Facebook, leavin rude commentz.
synthesis needs some love people
hobospacejungle: Sadly they’ll be wiped out as soon as they discover them. A few of us had a bit of fun last night, but all traces were removed when their moderator finished eating his dinner.
Shafeen at ~synthesis~ responds (Yay for Shafeen!):
Hello all - thank you for your …energetic participation in this little debate about the award.
There are two reasons I started this blog three months ago, first as a bit of self-therapy/venting, and second to share some ideas with the ether in the hopes of debate/conversation.
The former is my own thing, but the latter requires participation and readership. For that, my first surprise was getting picked by the selection team as a finalist, and then when Jim et al at Wonkette decided to support this blog (for whatever reason), suddenly the viewership has grown, and I’m starting to see more participation. I’m very happy about that, and very grateful to Wonkette and its readers for voting for me.
If I do get a vote because someone else said “go check out his blog”, I’m not going to reject it. Just like any candidate in the last primary or election would not reject a vote no matter the motivation of the voter.
Whether ~synthesis~ wins is not up to me (I can only vote once/day), and if some of you are upset that you have “lost” votes because you feel they wrongly came to me, I can’t help that either.
In the mean time - take a read of some of the other entries, and feel free to comment!
Thank you all again …shafeen
