LOST AND FOUND

Add another newspaper, something to do with my change.HAS ANYONE SEEN JIM NEWELL? Wonkette’s Capitol Hill Typing Demon was supposed to go to a dozen or more Media/Nobama parties over this White House Correspondents Dinner weekend, but we haven’t heard from him since Friday. Was he raped or killed or sent to Fox News or something?

    I just pray it wasn’t Fox news.

  2. Vivling says at 1:19 am, May 11th, 2009

    Has no one checked for a trail of whore diamonds? Perhaps he left clues, so you can finger his abductors.

  3. Custerwolf says at 1:23 am, May 11th, 2009

    Vivling: “…you can finger his abductors.”
    Why does every conversation have to turn to porn?

  4. tunamelt says at 1:25 am, May 11th, 2009

    Jim, come back to me!

  5. NYNYNY says at 1:27 am, May 11th, 2009

    I hope not. He’s the funny one.

  6. lovekills says at 1:27 am, May 11th, 2009

    Where is the first dude? Check that out and you may find him.

  7. Harvey Birdman says at 1:28 am, May 11th, 2009

    I suddenly have an erection.

  8. Professor Proffy McProfalton, Prof. says at 1:32 am, May 11th, 2009

    Tonight: Bruins win, Celtics win, Red Sox win. Newell is somewhere, drunk.

  9. Professor Proffy McProfalton, Prof. says at 1:32 am, May 11th, 2009

    Where’s Gary Condit?

  10. Vivling says at 1:33 am, May 11th, 2009

    Custerwolf: “Why does every conversation have to turn to porn?”

    Why does a circle always meet back at it’s starting point?

  11. Custerwolf says at 1:35 am, May 11th, 2009

    Vivling: How can you meet what you’ve never left to begin with?

  12. V572625694 says at 1:36 am, May 11th, 2009

    Custerwolf: They won’t hurt him much. They don’t know he’s kidding — call it the Colbert Effect.

  13. PeteJayhawk v2.0 says at 1:38 am, May 11th, 2009

    Worst. Wonk’d. Ever.

  14. lovekills says at 1:39 am, May 11th, 2009

    V572625694: Perfect

  15. The Unfairman says at 1:41 am, May 11th, 2009

    I’ve heard all about the nasty things they’ve been doing to ginger kids recently. Seriously, it’s gone beyond just bad jokes and covert racism.

    I hope our Jim is okay…

  16. Custerwolf says at 1:41 am, May 11th, 2009

    Vivling: “Why does a circle always meet back at it’s starting point?”

    So the others will know where to find it?

  17. Turd Way says at 1:46 am, May 11th, 2009

    Obama’s been using your Boehner and Steele material. Maybe Newell’s a speechwriter. Nobama wants to spread the funny around, but he won’t take my blog comments away.

  18. tunamelt says at 1:46 am, May 11th, 2009

    The Unfairman: I love gingers.

  19. lovekills says at 1:46 am, May 11th, 2009

    The Unfairman: We need a hate crimes bill that protects ginger people from this danger. Just be sure that the christianist go to jail for it :)

  20. Vivling says at 1:49 am, May 11th, 2009

    Custerwolf: To distract congressmen who want to lube it up and have their way with it?

  21. Custerwolf says at 1:51 am, May 11th, 2009

    Vivling: I’m sorry, I didn’t catch that?

  22. Custerwolf says at 1:52 am, May 11th, 2009

    Custerwolf: And thanks for sitting on my face.

  23. DeLand DeLakes says at 1:55 am, May 11th, 2009

    Oh Christ, the PUMAs finally got him. They’ll send pictures of his quicklime-eroded corpse and throw in a couple of audio-farts for good measure.

  24. Custerwolf says at 1:55 am, May 11th, 2009

    Custerwolf: Hey, I wasn’t talking you, I was talking to her Vivling:
    Sorry guys I’m really stoned. I’ll leave now.

  25. lovekills says at 1:58 am, May 11th, 2009

    tunamelt: Have always wanted to go ginger, just for the fuck of it, but hair color is not cheap.

  26. lovekills says at 2:00 am, May 11th, 2009

    Custerwolf: I don’t do much smoke anymore, but I was called dumb last night because I was drunk. Probably fair. I have a way with words.

  27. CaliforniaMike says at 2:05 am, May 11th, 2009

    He’s at Fox; they needed somebody to lube Sean Hannity up for Rush Limbaugh’s visit.

  28. Andropov says at 2:06 am, May 11th, 2009

    Showing concern for your staff (albeit in a jokey manner)? Layne, you’ll never beat Denton this way. The Internets are a harsh mistress.

  29. Custerwolf says at 2:06 am, May 11th, 2009

    lovekills: Sticks and stones, baby, sticks and stones.

  30. lovekills says at 2:10 am, May 11th, 2009

    Custerwolf: My bones are broke….

  31. Bearbloke says at 2:12 am, May 11th, 2009

    People, calm down… He’s safe and warm, being held captive in his mother’s basement - he hadn’t called her in a few weeks, and she’s a bit a bit smothering that way…

  32. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 2:12 am, May 11th, 2009

    Ken, you need to read more wingnuts sites like Red State, Newsbusters or Fox Nation. Clearly Jim has finally given in to the Cult of Obama, and has been sent to Kenya to a top secret Mulin training camp, where he will be baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Later Day Saints, and then sent back to the United States to be the first Commissar of the Internet, leading all of us into a glorious worker’s paradise.

    I mean, duh.

  33. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 2:13 am, May 11th, 2009

    lovekills: Heck, I’m still trying to find out what happened to Anna Marie Cox, but nobody tells me nothing.

  34. dementor says at 2:14 am, May 11th, 2009

    Have you considered that he’s perhaps been “recruited” by Fox, with the help of a roofie at a Nobama party, and is currently being deprogrammed at some re-reeducation camp in Texas?

  35. shortsshortsshorts says at 2:18 am, May 11th, 2009

    Kidnapped him— took him to Yosemite with us this weekend. Wined and dined him at Dewey point. There were no people there, so it worked out well.

  36. lovekills says at 2:19 am, May 11th, 2009

    Lionel Hutz Esq.: Mittens has the LDS covered. I think Jim is tucked into a b&b and laying low. Ken is a monster task master.

  37. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 2:21 am, May 11th, 2009

    Wait, does this mean no one is wielding the ban hammer?

    Anarchy Now!

    The Unfairman:

    Jim is not a Ginger. He is a Day Walker.

  38. saggyboobedhag says at 2:23 am, May 11th, 2009

    Cheney pulled his name in this weekend’s people hunt. Jim’s head is now glued to a triangular piece of wood above a fireplace in a Wyoming den.

  39. Bearbloke says at 2:23 am, May 11th, 2009

    It’s almost Noon, and I’m going out to lunch - Newell’s a big boy/meme/corporate-shill, and if he doesn’t turn up by, say 1:30pm, then let’s panic, but not until, mkay?

  40. Wasillabillies says at 2:24 am, May 11th, 2009

    Speaking of Ana, can someone translate this?

    Apparently 3 benadryls burmon makes U fell safe but every fuckng dude thought that it was souvenir item 2 leave on leave indierock was …9 minutes ago from Tweetie

  41. sati demise says at 2:25 am, May 11th, 2009

    He was so depressed by the dinner comedy.
    Decided to get more depressed by having a close relationship with a mixologist.

  42. lovekills says at 2:27 am, May 11th, 2009

    Lionel Hutz Esq.: Exactly! why the coverup? Don’t worry about Jim, he’ll show up when he needs his car insurance paid.

  43. hobospacejunkie says at 2:30 am, May 11th, 2009

    Lionel Hutz Esq.: Heck, I’m still trying to find out what happened to Anna Marie Cox

    Ha! Another ginger. Coincidence?

    Anyhoo, I’m sure there’s a perfectly reasonable explanation for Jim’s disappearance, and nothing to do with FOX. He was probably abducted by aliens and given an anal probe. Or perhaps while chasing down a story came across one of those Japanese who still thinks World War 2 is still going on and is now a prisoner of war. More likely he found evidence that Jesus really did start the Carolingian dynasty and is on the run from the Knights Templar. It could be any one of these, or a combination of two or more. Either way I’m going to look like an ass if this doesn’t have a happy ending.

  44. NYNYNY: Brilliant, sir/madam. And well-played.

  45. gurukalehuru says at 2:38 am, May 11th, 2009

    Custerwolf: All conversations eventually turn to porn in the same way that all roads lead to Rome. Porn is the psychic center of our universe.

  46. Morsels says at 2:49 am, May 11th, 2009

    Newell - Where are you? I saw you on GChat earlier so I am convinced that you are still alive and well! I’ll be arriving in DC early Tuesday morning to bust some balls over at the Census Director’s Senate confirmation hearing….meet up for drinks or parties or something?

  47. Custerwolf says at 2:53 am, May 11th, 2009

    gurukalehuru: “Porn is the psychic center of our universe.”
    Are you saying that gazing at porn allows you to read the future?
    Hmmmm….I always suspected.

  48. Uncle Glenny says at 3:25 am, May 11th, 2009

    Lionel Hutz Esq.: Check with Rachel Maddow. She (Cox) was doing a lot of gratuitous … shoulder … moving last time I saw her on Maddow.

  49. grevillea says at 3:51 am, May 11th, 2009
  50. Bruno says at 5:15 am, May 11th, 2009

    Did anyone check any of Cheney’s underground bunkers? I have a feeling there is some kind of wacky B-movie head transplatation going on.

  51. rocktonsammy says at 8:18 am, May 11th, 2009

    I’m enjoying the quiet.

  52. dementor says at 8:27 am, May 11th, 2009

    grevillea: First thing I did this morning was to come to this thread to check on our dear ginger’s whereabouts. Thank god our Aussie correspondent had the benefit of antipodal daytime hours to do the necessary sleuthing to locate him.

  53. Monsieur Grumpe says at 9:07 am, May 11th, 2009

    I have him in my basement and I’m forcing him to read newspapers made with real paper. He will be returned mostly unharmed for one IPod and a six pack of GOOD beer. No Bud Lite!

  54. The Schadenfried PAC says at 9:44 am, May 11th, 2009

    Rape, murder and Fox News is listed in order of severity. Finally, someone gets it!

  55. the lady MS.Sheila Dixon says at 9:44 am, May 11th, 2009

    ……..rewinding black-market Star Trek dvd….can’t stop….

  56. Beau Radley says at 10:07 am, May 11th, 2009

    Custerwolf: Absolutely! Every time I have ‘gazed’ I have been overcome by the certain foreknowledge that what I was seeing would never happen to me. As precognition, it is pretty limited in scope - BUT 100% ACCURATE.

  57. Tommmcatt says at 1:03 pm, May 11th, 2009

    shortsshortsshorts:

    Get some?

  58. Custerwolf says at 1:37 pm, May 11th, 2009

    Beau Radley: That’s too bad, I somehow manage to find myself in frequent porno-type scenerios. Of course when ordering my delivery pizzas I do always request the extra meat with a happy ending, so sometimes I think I may just be asking for it.

  59. chascates says at 1:46 pm, May 11th, 2009

    Custerwolf: Is that famous BC Bud available in your area?
