Wonkette
- SCORCH THE EARTH, SALT THE GROUND: There are no more politics to play here. Vote for Wonkette in Best Liberal Blog every 24 hours. Our lead over TPM is solid but not devastating, and if we lost to them it would be your associate editor’s fault and a terrible embarrassment. In Best New Blog, UppityWoman is catching up to ~ synthesis ~, so please, finish this PUMA once and for all. And in a *new* endorsement, please vote for the excellent, excellent Driftglass in the Best Individual Blogger category. Driftglass is in a close race with what can be described most adequately as a “pro-George Bush blog.” Remember, everyone, that Wonkette is a WARBLOG. The Geneva Conventions do not apply here. [Weblog Awards]
WEEKEND WARRING
No one wanted to be a wartime blog, right Jim?
I wish you would have never pointed out The Confluence. Reading their posts make me want to turn in my ovaries.
I say big-up to Rumproast (Small Blog) too - they are shattering their competition. Since they will gladly throw the brave first shoe at any suspected Puma, they deserve a solid victory to go with their check for $20.09
You can no more finish off a puma than you can block their Hovaround from making a beeline to the marshmallow salad at Old County Buffet.
Ok, do not let my new imaginary son, Shafeen- synthesis- lose! Vote, vote. New Kid, your ovaries(and mine) have nothing in common with PUMAs- theirs are probably gone or shrunken.
So, does a wartime blog have enhanced powers? And if so, which? I’d be partial to X-ray vision, myself.
A solid lead, OK, but what’s Nate Silver projecting?
Throw yourself on a grenade for Charles Darwin! Vote Pharyngula (”ejaculations from a godless liberal”) for Best Science Blog, to thwart ridiculous global-warming denialist site Watts Up with That.
Fuck you, Jim Newell. YOU can’t tell me how to vote. Taylor Marsh is getting each and every vote from me until the polls close. TPM can suck it, after Josh’s stupid bitch-whining about stacking the ballot box, when we actually HELPED the prick get noticed.
Taylor ain’t my cuppa, but the PUMAs deserve to be slaughtered by somebody who offends them even MORE than Wonkette. [Who knew such a species even existed?]
Who’s with me? Once more, into the fray, laddies and lassies. No PUMA, no how, no way, no where, no time.
Shafeen is the dude you liberal arts graduate moms want your daughters to marry. PUMAs, no.
NewKidOnTheBloc: You don’t understand the writing style. Stream-of-consciouslesness.
It would almost be worth Newell’s public humiliation to lose to TPM. Almost. But that assumes Newell is capable of feeling humiliated and I’m not willing to take that bet.
Somehow I think Wonkette will not make the cut for next years voting. Little do they realize that will only energize our click happy legions to totally fuck with their stoopid voting system. Who came up with it anyway, Ken Blackwell?
Please, please, vote against the PUMAs.
Their anguish sustains me. Their howls of bewilderment are like sweet nectar.
Oh, and feel free to put a stake in the heart of Nice Deb in the “Best Small Blog” category, as long as you’re up and voting. She’s like the turkey-baster demon-child of Pam Geller and Charles Johnson, minus the readership. Click on Rumproast for the win, and help destroy this godless wingnut homuncula.
Thanks in advance, Wonketeers!
Canuckleddragger I’ll be happy to offend as many PUMAS as you like, just let me come in 12th while Taylor Marsh comes in 13th. It will make my whole month.
And BLESS YOU Wonkette, for giving Driftglass some well-deserved attention. Other bloggers have not been so kind to his opponent, who once posted that she thought Bush was “right on Gitmo.” Yeah.
Driftglass is the best writer in blogsylvania and deserves the award for his fine writing and terrific photoshopping.
BLESS YOU, Wonkette. And I say that as someone who lost the Best Liberal Blog Award to you by a factor of 700 billion to one.
PUMAs call me out as a Misogynist Feminist!!!
http://sturly.com/q2t
Bruno: Thanks, Bruno. Rumproast is pretty far ahead, but I’m rather sad we fell below the 50% mark, only because the delusional PUMAs will think it’s because of their hard work. In reality, it’s because Face of Spuds has been pimping Nice Deb every day. I just found out my cat Hubcap is diabetic, which is weird because it’s like a human disease or something, so show me some love. Vote Rumproast:
http://2008.weblogawards.org/polls/best-small-blog/
Oh crap! Jim, do NOT screw this up…Josh will be magnanimous, he’ll say “Oh, Wonkette is also a very good blog.” He will say this with a SMIRK and not a SMILE.
That would kill me.
And yes, I do deserve to die.
Yeah weekend warblogging! No quarter shall be given to those foolish enough to dare stand in our way.
I’m putting on my Stone Golem death-suit and sharpening my battle-axe as we speak.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHl6QkC9__8
Rumproast: You have a diabetic cat?! Dood, just mention that to the PUMAs and they will do anything you want. Literally anything. And probably start a new religion in your honor.
And if y’all want another reason to vote for Driftglass, that Anchoress is advertising fucking JTP’s TV jaunt to Israel on her site. She needs to go down.
Apologies, should’ve posted this here.
I joined the PUMA facebook group, posted some not incredibly brilliant smack about Wonkette and, wouldn’t you know, it was promptly deleted. These motherfuckers hate hate hate free speech, open debate and anything that might poison their tiny, tiny solipsistic world.
So since every thread is a PUMA thread until they no longer walk the earth — MurphyPumaCunt: why hasn’t you answered the question? You gave munnies to McCain in 2000 and nothing to democrats, including hillz, since. Yes? So you are a tent-wearing, tv-dinner devouring, post-menopausal, encrusted vagina-having FRAUD, yes?
Why gives a fuck about the stupid web award. If we are not throwing up on ourselves from imbibing toxic brews of booze & pills then we remember to vote for our favorites. You can call all 12 recipe-sharing PUMAs you know and your humorless, ideologically contradictory, dim-witted fucktard of a shitty blog and those it supports will still lose. Also. FRAUD.
Just found this on Rumproast, it looks like someone else wants to do battle with us. And they are anti-Synthesis

To the tune of “Ashokan Farewell” ( http://www.jayandmolly.com/resources/ashokan.mid ):
Dearest Martha,
These long days of the blogwars are starting to have effect on the men. It is hard to remember the giddy high times of the summer, when we swept the Paultards from the field, fueled on the Spirits provided to us by General Newell.
As the gloom of fall descended, I can still remember the moment where it all seemed to be over, and that the new Caliphate had been established. The drinking in early November knew no bounds.
But then PUMA forces rose out of the swamps, attacking fauxgressives in our ranks. General ShortsShortsSHorts was quickly dispatched to strike back, but it now seems like for days that we have to put up with unfunny, selfish, delusional people attacking our very way of life and our numbered whores. How I miss the good times with you Martha, where we could discuss Pandas and Buttsex and the Snorg Girl. It is only the truth of our Dear Leader being born in a Mosque on top of a Koran that gives me strength to see this war through to the end, knowing that soon, a true workers paradise will be upon us.
The times are dark, dear Martha, but soon these wars will be over, and we will be able to drink in a world of peace, where we will be able to tap our toes and pay stocky black cops for blow jobs. The Generals promise whore diamonds for all. When I return to you, dear Martha, I will be covered in our Generals appreciation. ‘Till then, I must continue to drink deep the spirit of freedom, so that I can forget the horrors I see.
– Lionel Hutz Esq, January 10, 2009, from the trenches of the Blogwars.
Aw fuck it: I hear and obey.
Thank you for the new orders, Jim. I was having a hard time picking who to vote for in the Individual Blogger category, since I’d never read any of them, but at least I can help take out some wingnut.
Bruno: The fake bloggies are serious business?
Blue Gal: Wait, are you BlueGal from Crooks and Liars? If so, right on sister.
Oh and even though they’re super-reactionary torture lovers, I feel like we should show some love to Red State in the Conservative Blog category. They did ally with us in Paultard War of 2008. What’s the phrase “The enemy of my enemy is my friend”?
Double relevancy!
http://driftglass.blogspot.com/2008/08/zelda-miller-announces.html
Lionel Hutz Esq.: Say Hi to Mary Chestnut for me.
Wonkette Overlords, may I have permission to vote for CakeWrecks? I mean, the blog’s pretty funny, but if all the PUMAs are endorsing her, she must be evil, correct?
SkimLatteModerate: There’s no way for anyone other than CakeWrecks to win now, they’re so far ahead. And I’m a SeriousEats reader. So follow your heart.
Hey Jim, you’ve been badly photoshopped again by the PUMASPHERE:
http://riverdaughter.files.wordpress.com/2009/01/superfemnewell.jpg?w=223&h=300
Hahahahaha, you didn’t tell us your hands — and only your hands — were black.
Bruno: Do I need to find the WMD? i gotz an itch in my trucknutz.
Rumproast: Wow, that is brilliant writing. I had no idea Driftglass was that good when I voted, I was just following orders (and trying to skewer the dreams of wingnuts). Gee kids, I guess you really can do well by doing good!
Keram2: That is awesome! Newell gets all the fun.
Washington DC, shit. I’m still only in Washington DC. Every time I think I’m going to
wake up back in the blogwars. When I was home after my first tour,
it was worse. I’d wake up and there’d be nothing…
I hardly said a word to my wife until I said yes to a divorce.
When I was here I wanted to be there. When I was there, all I
could think of was getting back into the blogwars.
I’ve been here a day now. Waiting for a chance to cast another vote. Every minute I stay in this room I get weaker. And every minute
Confluence squats in the bush she gets stronger.
Each time I look around the walls move in a little tighter.
Everyone gets everything he wants. I wanted trucknuts, and for my sins
Newell gave me one. Brought it up to me like room service.
No, my fair cousin;
If we are mark’d to die, we are enow
To do our country loss; and if to live,
The fewer men, the greater share of honour.
God’s will! I pray thee, wish not one man more.
By Jove, I am not covetous for gold,
Nor care I who doth feed upon my cost;
It yearns me not if men my garments wear;
Such outward things dwell not in my desires.
But if it be a sin to covet honour,
I am the most offending soul alive.

WIDTAP: You’re an errand boy, sent by grocery clerks, to collect a PUMA pelt.
WIDTAP: I’m here a week now… waiting for a mission… getting softer; every minute I stay on teh internetz, I get weaker, and every minute PUMA squats in the bush, she gets stronger. Each time I looked around, the walls moved in a little tighter.
What’s the problem with The Confluence, other than they are trying to get Michel Therrien fired?
Michel Therrien probably deserves to be fired for giving Sidney Crosby zero support and making him into a goon.
http://www.kuklaskorner.com/index.php/tc/
Lionel Hutz Esq.: As I read this, my eyes panned your avatar then slowly closed in on it. When I finished, I was weeping.
Locked, Cocked, ready to ROCK.
(as if)
Don’t forget to vote for my blog, The Confluence. ROAR!
I’ve never been to a convention in Geneva! Back into the fray. I only regret that I have but one vote a day. We follow your commands oh Mighty Leader.
PUMAs in MartCarts. I try to take full advantage of their faces’ proximity to my ass.
SpikeyDog: That’s Dear Leader to you, comrade.
MFAWG:
Ya gotta have some fighting ability. Once would-be challengers saw how hard Mario could hit, they reconsidered engaging him, especially when they had to get through the goons like Tocchet, Ulf, and Kasparitus first.
Thank you, Jim.
Thanks Wonketteers.
Damn nice of you.
A Report from the Front:
Riverdaughter: There will be no glory in your sacrifice. I will erase even the memory of Wonkette from the histories! Every piece of Wonkette intertubes shall be burned. Every Wonkette Editor, and every commenter shall have their eyes pulled out, and their tongues cut from their mouths. Why, uttering the very name of Wonkette, or Jim Newell, will be punishable by death! The world will never know you existed at all!
Jim Newell: The world will know that drunk men stood against a bore, that few stood against many, and before this battle was over, even a PUMA can bleed.
Why did we give votes to TPM instead of Blue Gal? I blame a failure in leadership.
MisterLoki: I will vote for Blue Gal from now on, I don’t like TPM much
I am not here to represent Jim, Ken or Sara; their actions speak louder than my words ever could. I am here for all those voices which cannot be heard: mothers, daughters, fathers, sons, waitresses, bartenders, the seller of furry costumes - three hundred Wonketters that bleed for our rights, and for the very principles this blog was built upon. We are at war, gentlemen. We must send the entire Wonkette army to aid Jim, Ken and Sara in the preservation of not just ourselves, but of our bars and pubs. Send the army for the preservation of Bourbon. Send it for Scotch. Send it for Vodka and Tonic. Send it for Tequila. But most importantly, send our Wonkettes for Gin- Gin that a Editor and his commenters might get wasted to the pages of history - that their drinking bonds us together, that we are made drunker by their actions, and that your choices today reflect their drunkenness.
Keram2: I’ve been voting for Michelle Malkin all week. Sadly, she’s lagging behind such repub trainwrecks as Little Green Footballs and Atlas Shrugs.
BTW, if you think we hate PUMAs and Paultards, you should check out what Michael J. Trotten thinks about Informed Comment’s Juan Cole over on the Middle East blogs. Of course, Trotten’s in the “every Palestinian missile hits a democrat, every Israeli bomb hits a terrorist” camp, so it’s no wonder the two don’t get along all that well, but still…
Barrett808: Wow. Pharyngula is fucking awesome. How the hell did I miss this one?
So Jim says our lead over TPM is solid, but not devastating.
Can’t you read between the lines, wonkeratti? Now that the PUMAS have exposed Newell as a barely pubescent teen, he’s desperate to prove he can beat a grown up blog.
NewKidOnTheBloc: Just so’z you know, they’re known as the Conflatulence around these parts.
Gee, not too many of us here tonight. I can’t imagine what people do with their time on a Saturday night.
Hey Jim, I was just on rumproast (excellent) and I liked how he says down the side what he’s reading and stuff. Could you maybe fix us with up a little box like that? Not that I give a shit what any of the rest of you losers are doing, but currently I’m reading a smart book and need a way to show off.
No?
Okay, pretend this is a little box:
***********************************************************
Currently, Bobbie is reading “Lula of Brazil: The Story So Far.”
***********************************************************
DustBowlBlues: Is Lula really smart or something?
A curse shall light upon the Confluence;
Wonkette fury and fierce civil strife
Shall cumber all the PUMA of Intertube;
Clicks of destruction shall be so in use
And dreadful trucknutz so familiar
That PUMAs shall but smile when they behold
Their comments quarter’d by the blogs of war;
All pity choked with custom of fell deeds:
And Newell’s spirit, ranging for revenge,
With Layne by his side come hot from hell,
Shall in these confines with a monarch’s voice
Cry ‘Havoc,’ and let slip the dogs of war;
That this foul deed shall smell above the earth
With carrion PUMA, groaning for burial.
skutre: Someone asked! Yeah, Lula de Silva, the President of Brazil. Barry O needs to go sit at Lula’s feet for a few days and take lessons. Governs from the left, but in a practical way that keeps everyone happy enough. Not bad for a kid who used to shine shoes, has no more education than a decent high school/trade school.
Brazil is fast becoming, really, has become, the economic engine of South America. When I hear people predicting China and India are the new big dogs on the block, I scratch my head that Brazil isn’t included.
Need to do a little more work preserving those rainforests, however.
Sadly, the Bourne guy (not the cool Bourne) who wrote it is not much more compelling than the food value content listed on the side of an oatmeal box.
Blue Gal: You sound incredibly good spirited about being outvoted by a bunch of obscenity spewing losers led by a cheating little kid.
DustBowlBlues: I had never really heard of de Silva until th 08 Prez election when I heard some comparisons between him and Our Barry. I will have to check the book out, though you give less than a ringing endorsement.
I am currently reading “Ananthem” because I haz the geek.
Lionel Hutz Esq.: lampadadog: Whore Diamonds for the both of you!
driftglass: Your welcome. See, play nice and we will make you king or queen. Look at Blue Gal, she was being humiliated and now we all love her so much, she’ll probably beat wonkette and we’ll be all generous about how we made it happen. And Jim will never speak to us again.
And that Grace whatever sure sounds shrill–that Swift guy, too. If I were a baby blog I’d feel proud just to be in the ring with the mighty wonkette. Sea legs, my ass.
MisterLoki: aaaand i misspelled “Anathem” BECAUSE IT IS A FUCKING MADE UP WORD.
MisterLoki: ““Ananthem”” What’s that? (Damn. Kicking myself for asking that. Now I don’t sound smart at all. Hey–I read John Adams BEFORE the movie. Does that count?)
Keram2: That sucks. I much prefer the ruddy-cheeked little cutesy kid under the umbrella. (And if I read one cheek joke, I’m washing your hands out with soap). I may have to learn to cheat on the webby things just to get even with those people.
DustBowlBlues: It is a super geeky Sci-Fi book with a lot of made up words.
http://www.salon.com/books/review/2008/09/11/Stephenson/
I think you can safely claim the smarty high ground.
Jeepers, I’m talking to myself. No matter, there are so many of us living inside my head the conversation could go on all night. (Now beginning to feel like a failure because I’m sick and deformed and can’t go anywhere for fear of public scorn so have no life but on wonkette. Fuck. Kervorkian’s out of prison, right?)
Even though Michele Malkin is losing badly, I still couldn’t bring myself to vote for her. Such a vile, soulless, opportunistic bitch. How can I get some press for a piece of shit book? Oh, I know! Be the first Asian (no matter she’s Korean) to write a book defending Internment. (Ever notice how she’s her nastiest when she turns her head and talks out of the side of her mouth–Coulterbeast wannabe.)
She did give Chris Matthews a moment that actually endeared him to me, forever. Anyone see it? During the ‘04 election, she was on Hardball badmouthing Kerry and his war record. Running off at the mouth as her kind are wont to do, she ranted that some people said he shot himself to win that medal.
Chris M. stopped her cold–interrupting as he is wont to do, and said, “Are you saying John Kerry shot himself so he could win a medal?
Turns her head, talks more out of side of her mouth. “I’m just saying that some people are saying that.”
“Not on my show, you’re not.”
Shocked look on her face for split second before she vanishes, never to appear on MSM again.
She and Coulterbeast deserved to be pressed together by a trash compactor–I take that back, in honor of Wall-E–they need to be parachuted into a convention of PUMAS and the whole bunch dropped into Saudi Arabia.
MisterLoki: That’s a relief.
That’s pretty much how we all feel about the Obama daughters.
shortsshortsshorts: ?
DustBowlBlues: My name is Wendy, Rick and Natalia, and I am a Phoenix.
If you splice a few ad campaigns together, and happen to be waiting for Tom Monagham’s “Domanos Pizza” for some reason, it makes perfect sense.
For fuck’s sake - the PUMAs are even infiltrating the award site:
http://2008.weblogawards.org/docs/weblog-award-faq.php#comment-17941
However, there is good news as well. ~synthesis~ is still leading its category, as is Wonkette, Comics Curmudgeon, Rumproast, Jesus General and Fuck You, Penguin. If only Deadspin could get some more votes, I’d say we were dominating the opposition. Also, it would make my day if that shitmongering hag Michelle Malkin won Best Conservative Blog, just to mess with Repub heads.
Wartime blog of course means waterboarding and the like, I presume.
http://democralypsenow.blogspot.com/
Jim, dear, they are not playing fair. I voted last night @ 9 pm and was denied a vote in the last 10 minutes (CST) — I will do my best to continue our war for Wonkette’s kingdom!! (or whatever the hell we’re doing; it is FUN!)
Who is the Wonkette vote going to in the “Major Blog” category?
Penile Unity in My Ass Blingee
No pictures of real penises were used or harmed in the production of this Blingee.
Dreamer: Balloon Juice seems like the best fit. Unless you like car talk, that is.
Man, I been warbloggin’ so long, I don’t even have the functions of a woman anymore! Will I ever again see the sun?
Aw. AW! And now I have three emails informing me that three people I trolled on youtube have risen to my insults.
I can’t just ignore them or they’ll think they’ve won! This is how e-war goes. There are no medals or decorations waiting for us. Only a cynaide pill and one of those little cheeto capsules they used to package with the squeeze bottles of kool-aid that you’d drop in there to change its color. God, those were cool.
Meanwhile, the only liberal military blog in existence is getting stomped by Michael Yon and Blackfive. I’d appreciate it if you guys dropped by and voted for Army of Dude:
http://2008.weblogawards.org/polls/best-military-blog/
I went war driving with a FreeBSD laptop and a brute force wifi cracker script. I cracked 32 connections in a little over an hour, and all for the sake of those Webbie Awards. I voted for Wonkette for Best Liberal Blog every time, but I had a conflict that prevented me from voting for Driftglass. I know Lindsay can’t win, but she got my 32 votes today. I have this thing with Lindsay, even though I’m out in flyover country right now.
I also downloaded a lil new Rage. The ancient Republicans at that address (they still had a McCain sign… no, really) will be very surprised to learn that they are music pirates.
HEY THERE! Just wanted to know if your readers could maybe jump on over to Raisin Toast at http://www.raisin-toast.com and vote for me for BEST NEW BLOG! Now I know you all like the name ~synthesis~ and are trying to get that guy to win over Uppity Woman, but I’m an underdog here, and I’ll bet your readers love an underdog, right? Let’s see how many votes I can rack up in this war in less than 24 hours from your site - now wouldn’t that be a hoot if I won because of Wonkette?
Susan

Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;
Or close the wall up with our Wonketeer dead.
God for Jim Newell, our Wonkette and sainted snark
may the devil take the hindmost!
msvaughn: I’ll bet your readers love an underdog, right?
True, but you need to remember we love underdogs in much the same way a snake loves baby mice.
I just learned from TBogg I could have just deleted my frakking cache. Another case of too smart for my own good. Well, it’s always fun to war drive anyway. Delete cache… really? I missed that?!1!
In Wonkette fields the poppies grow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place, and in the sky,
The larks, still bravely singing, fly,
Scarce heard amid the blogging below.
Seriously, they have spent the last 24-48 hours talking about the Ms. magazine cover, and Wonkette. It is mind numbing, but I can’t look away.
msvaughn: No.
And what’s this about no medals? A blogwar with no medals, ptui!
I’m going to blingee us a medal for when we pull our maimed bodies off the battlefield and regroup around the campfire….
NewKidOnTheBloc: Now they are extensively debating when the Polls actually close (none of them are right, or have bothered to check the facts). That’s the level of organization we are up against. Sounds like the campaign.
All right, let’s sum up. This year in history, we talked about the failure of Hillary. How the PUMAs of the 21st Century brought our world to the brink of chaos. We talked about the Wonketteers, how they took control and imposed the stability that has lasted for generations since. We talked about the rights and privileges between those who served in Wonkette and those who haven’t, therefore called citizens and civilians.
When you vote, you are exercising political authority, you’re using force. And force my friends is violence. The supreme authority from which all other authorities are derived.
Lionel Hutz Esq.: You see, at Puma blogs, to see anything written as accurate and creative as that post, it would be cut&pasted from somewhere else.
YEAH!!!11! I’m POST NUMBER 1 HURRAY!!! [I have nothing more to add]
This whore is done voting for the day. Any other assignments I need to be aware of? I must catch up on sleep and icing the insides of my thighs.
mothermaven: neato. does that mean you now have a cock with which to hate fuck them?
Rumproast: wow - that was great! my favorite line was:
“we’re all sinners here; all flawed little monkeys who have, at one time or another, nursed the rage teat down to its bitterest lees.”
yes. yes we are. but the joy of being a Wonkette monkey rather than a PUMA monkey (monkitty?) is that at least we can laugh and throw our feces at the gawkers here. it is an existential paradise here, friends - beauty in meaningless banter and recognition of the inherent farce of politics.
Holy shitballs Wonkette!
I waded into Confluence. All I said was that war was a patriarchal concept and its use indicates phallocentric strap-on politics.
I also called Palin a Stepford Wife. I was banned and filtered in under five minutes.
They. Must. FAIL.
What does a feminist look like? What do you think of when you hear the word “feminism”?
Do you think of PUMAs burning their bras, refusing to shave their legs, cooking and eating men, and yelling at small boys if they hold the door open? Or, do you think of Jim Newell — a quiet, lonely man who tells our daughters that they can be and do anything in their lives? How about that gorgeous Wonkette in makeup and heels? The face of feminism is changing. There is no way to tell what a feminist “looks” like. Feminists are snarky, boozehounds, gamblers, warbloggers, puppy lovers, hopey, changey, Muslin, trucknutz.
A PUMA once approached Newell and cried, “We worked for years so that you wouldn’t have to wear those shoes,” and Jim responded, “I thought you worked for years so that I would have the choice.”
Here is some Lenny Bruce for yall’s sunday afternoon drinking:
http://acksisofevil.org/audio/inner207.mp3
Lionel Hutz Esq.: Heinlien?
lampadadog: huzzah! I likes the sound of, “Boozehound, gambler, warblogger, puppy lover, hopey, changey, Muslin, trucknutz.” I pick all of the above — except for gambling…as I likes me money in my pocket.
“It’s substance, not snark. That’s why I read The Confluence. There are just too many so-called “liberal” or “progressive” blogs disseminating deeply ignorant and intolerant beliefs that are only thinly veiled with snarkiness. I don’t read The Confluence for amusement, but rather for imagery. It’s based on the real and not someone’s fantasized version of it.” comment on Weblog Awards site
hey, Wonkette has some fine imagery, like shirtless Barry. And Blingees.
windupbird: “deeply ignorant”…is that like an idiot philosopher?
windupbird: I get it- Confluence has deeply ignorant and intolerant beliefs- but not even thinly veiled with snarkiness.
AND thank you all for helping my fantasy sons, Kevin (rumproast) and Shafeen(synthesis) to forge ahead of the others in their race. DON’T STOP until the FAT LADY sings.
Wonkette has single handedly doubled the page views of Confluence. You guys should be asking for some advertising fee sharing…
Grimnir: To quote Kev-o-tron, NO NO NO,
Confluence’s traffic has doubled due to the well thought out, logic by their authors and tireless organization of their members/commenters. The doubling has nothing to do with the 12 of us who went over to check out their site.
http://2008.weblogawards.org/polls/best-middle-east-or-africa-blog/
The NeoCon and pro-Iraq War, pro-Bush advocate Michael Totten is leading the moderist blog Informed Consent in the category “Best Middle East or Africa Blog”. Vote for “Informed Consent” and let’s boot the Bush Doctrine as the only American calculus in discussions about Middle Eastern politics.
Cape Clod: Well, the movie of Starship Troopers, but, yeah, Heinlien.
ThisDudesArmy: Done. Wonder if wonkette could somehow infiltrate Golden Globe results because–fuck all you losers, Johnny Depp is about to be on the show!
msvaughn: lampadadog: “A PUMA once approached Newell and cried, “We worked for years so that you wouldn’t have to wear those shoes,” and Jim responded, “I thought you worked for years so that I would have the choice.”
Words cannot express my appreciation for your poetic thoughts.
Y’all. Uppitywoman (lord, I can’t even type that without ralfing a little) is within 1700 votes of our ~synthesis~.
Barrett808: Where’s the humor that blog? As opposed to in the weblog “Watt’s Up With That”’s pro-big-business theory that we are actually now in sustained era of Global Cooling (which must have been measured by Pat Nixon’s years in the White House). To be scientific is to be cruel.
grevillea:
I’ve been a driftyphile for a few years now. Incredible talent.
driftglass:
nyuck,nyuck,nyuck
Stupid Wonkette has dishonored herself and dishonored this blog. I have tried to help her. But I have failed. I have failed because YOU have not helped me. YOU people, have not given Stupid Wonkette the proper motivation! So, from now on, whenever Wonkette fucks up, I will not punish her! I will punish all of YOU! And the way I see it ladies, you owe me for ONE JELLY DOUGHNUT! NOW, GET DOWN ON YOUR FACES!
Lionel Hutz Esq.: That’s my favorite Denise Richards war movie.
Again, Dlisted for best gossip blog. The snark is strong with this homo.
