Wonkette
WIN OF THE AFTERNOON: Wonkette is, above all else, an American Values Blog, and the only American Value that’s not gay is this one: after maniacally firebombing a population, always be sure to airmail a few insufficient aid packages in the general direction of the starving, terrorized refugee masses. That being said, Wonkette will now become the first blog in Internet history to institute a daily feature called “comment of the day,” to reward the day’s Best Comment, as determined by Algebra. We will keep track of how many times individual commenters have won this important award, and at some point when some commenter reaches some number of wins he or she will win some magnificent prize or something. (A liquidation-priced Chrysler SUV?) OH, YOU’RE WELCOME. Today’s winner is…
Potentially new “punny” commenter “charlesdegoal” — a foot-ball fan! — for pointing out the one possible flaw in that Pajamas Media guy’s important column about invading the world:
Why not cut to the chase and immediately drop Donald Rumsfeld on North Korea? No pacifistic beating around the bush with those miscreants.
*This* would seriously mess up Kim’s feng shui.
Now go ahead and bitch about how you disagree, in the comments!
Oh sure, Comment of the Afternoon. Damned PMists. No AM, no peace!
This is a great addition to your web site. I will look forward to it every day.
Did you just pick a comment at random?
Mostly because I hate Lindsay Graham, but I would’ve voted for this:
doxastic: I believe Lindsay Graham does have the heterosexual capacity, but there is a character problem, there is a temperament problem.
i’d prefer you land Bruno’s ass in his/her face
Are you bringing back Stars to commentators as the grand prize?
Who’s reading these comments? There’s just no end to the abuse you put the new interns through, is there?
That’s not bad, I guess. Hey Jim, why haven’t you put up the gay wedding cake pic for New Hampshire yet?
Rumsfelding North Korea would terminate the problem but be forever regarded as a war crime and genocide on our part.
Geeze, the wording around the award seal looks like it was cut out of the newspaper for blackmail. And the eagle should be holding a “+1″ in one talon and bag of Cheetos in the other.
I disagree, in the comments!
It’s a fine comment, although a surprising choice in light of the balls-to-the-wall hilarity/vulgarity of the furry thread.
I DISAGREE. I don’t know why, but MAN DO I.
There aren’t enough credits given to those who begin a thread with “First!”
Word is that Donald Rumsfeld is now the new Director of Security at that big nightclub off of New York Avenue, the one near the old Hecht’s warehouse.
The best comment of the day was as follows:
Custerworlf: ” “
I wonder if you combine this post with its Wonder-Twin post about banning folks, if Newell turns into some sort of dragon, and SKS morphs into a body of water.
Will these serve as open threads where we can defame and slander the winner?
shortsshortsshorts: I’ll give you the highly coveted comment of 6:35pm award.
Just mail a picture of yourself (naked) to:

I really do disagree, and will consider linking you to my blog post in which I disagree with much vehemence.
I cast my vote for assistant/atlas, not only for having picked a better comment above (um, better in the sense of a comment that might not have had that life), but also for having had the indecency to post a link to South of the Border.
Algebra is inherently unfair and non trancendent. Geomancy and dowsing must be employed to determin the comment of the day.
Lord Growing: The silence has been deafening, and welcome. Ass-fucking. Also.
Lord Growing: Don’t be silly. I preferred his succinct brilliance in this quote ” “.
Well, of COURSE you give the prize to someone just because they speak FOREIGNER, you America-hating commie appeasers.
Lord Growing: rambone: Smells like…victory!
Wonkette is, above all else, an American Values Blog…
I shall treasure this.
Does the winner get a free day to talk about their sex life, post links to photos of themselves, and update everyone about what they’re doing?
I would comment, but what’s the point; today’s contest has already been won.
Hooray For Anything:
No. The real prize is they get to be strapped to a chair and forced to motorboat Peggy Noonan.
But I thought the whole purpose of the comments was to snarkily disagree w/everything. So you’re asking us to agree w/something that we are honor-bound (bein’ ‘murkin valus types heer) to disagree with snarily. I vote for: ME first! Isn’t that the numero uno ‘murkin valus anyhoo?
An award every day? Next you’re going to tell me that some people eat twice a day. Fancy elitist bastards.

“Does the winner get a free day to talk about their sex life, post links to photos of themselves, and update everyone about what they’re doing?”
Look for Jim, Ken and Sara to pass the award around to each other. Surely y’all know the meaning of “house rules!”
American values blog?? I thought Wonkette was a war blog. Was there a memo that I missed?
I for one am delighted to see my comment becoming a meme.
Rumsfeld wouldn’t last a week in North Korea. There’s lots of good eatin’ on ol’ Rummy, and they’re a hungry people, there! Now Cheney, that’s a different story …
Who is Algebra, and where can I send the bribe?
YesWeKant: I fail to see the distinction.
well that’s a relief. after the day’s winner is picked, the fierce competition to be funny will end. comment whores be sad.
Well I am perpetually fucked; algebra and I have never gotten along. I still do addition and subtraction with my fingers. I’m a dumb gay jock.
Min: I think I may have lost my job because of that thread.
I hate competitions where I don’t win, so I’m sitting this one out.
The best comment is a fucking valuable thing - you don’t just…
Yesterday the stick, today the carrot.
The figure in the center of emblem: a valiant, endangered bald eagle about to be made Saint Sebastian by razor-sharp arrows of Socilaista snark.
I don’t know about you, but I can accept that.
Unless this comment is blocked.
Worst logo typography EVER.
I’m going to start an alternative award, wherein I award a 15-cent coupon off of an industrial size bowl of dicks from Sam’s Wholesale Club for the person who consistently ignores my mostly unwritten, comment-related edicts.
See, this is what the internet is about. Convincing people to make readable content for you for free!
France 1, Rest of the World 0 (at half time)
I thought if you use “win” you get banhammered until anal bleeding is acheived, what gives?
Can we drop North Korea on Donald Rumsfeld?
Ah, once again, something to strive for! Thank you, Wonkette, for giving my life the meaning that was so patently missing ’til now.
So glad to not see 4chan crap dominating here any more.
I prefer my snark literate. Well at least with words.

The last thing these commenters need is a reason to try harder.
I didn’t know we were gonna get graded when I joined this thing.
I understood there would be no math…
I think we’re all winners here. Except for that ass that won. He sucks.
