We’ve got so many retrospectives, year-enders, decade-enders, thumbsuckers, years in review and other such journamalism prepared for your End-of-Days Holiday Fuckoff Time, it’s crazy! But we don’t want you to forget our first round of delightful remembrances of America’s lamest decade. Read these, while we get some more ready to post!
- Decade of Feces: Top 100 Moments of the 2000s: Looks like we got all the way from #100 to, uh, #85 in this “first of a series” collection of the Ideas That Shaped Our Time.
- The Decade In Videos: From Gore To Whatever: The first five years of our ‘Nads YouTube Spectacular was so utterly depressing that we never got around to 2005-2009. It’s better that way.
- A Decade of Blingees: 2007-2009: One time around 1998 we said, to somebody (?), “You can get fucked if there’s anything better in History than the Animated GIF.” And then, like a miracle, Alex Pareene found the Blingee in a “virtual dumpster” behind a Hot Topic in Houston.
- Wonkette’s 2009 War On Xmas Gift Guide: As featured on Garrison Keillor’s Da Gift of Da Magi, our annual holiday gift list has ruined marriages and made children cry from Bangor, Maine, to somewhere around Nebraska, we bet. And this year, the dildo was shaped like Obama. (Relive the entire decade of Wonkette War On Xmas Gift Guides with our 2008 sexytime edition and our pornographic 2006 webzine.)

Yay!I love you Wonkette.
I was born a poor black child…
Could we do a retrospective of December 23rd? It’s a date that’s already living in infamy. Let’s review the highlights of the past 12 hours (9 if you’re in CA).
This post is definitely going on my list of ten best metaretrospectives of the decade. I’m already looking forward to remembering this in a retrospective later.
I still love a “decade” in blingees..
But when will Wonkette release it’s Ten Best Comments Of The Decade list??
[re=484281]freakishlystrong[/re]: Still waiting for the best Twitters of the decade — with special fondness for 2000-2005, when we were mercifully Twitter-free.
Best Twitter related quote goes to Stephen Colbert, “I have twatted.”
[re=484275]bureaucrap[/re]: Speaking of (9 if you’re in CA),
i thot a decade was 10 yrz.
Forgive me, DancingHotdogJesus.
Salinas, Caliph Ornia, usa
How’s ’bout the ten best blazing bags of poo-covered poison rat dicks?
I’m waiting for Great Banhammerings of 2009, with Trucknutz for all…
Can’t help but notice that Reagan’s Berlin speech didn’t make the cut. Nor the time he fired those lazy airplane controller guys. Or when he outsmarted the constituion and sent money to the freedom fighting Contras. No mention of that time he liberated Auschwitz either. Were you people not paying attention to anything over the past 10 years?
[re=484290]magic titty[/re]: ‘its’ Fail. Retard.
[re=484299]Mr Blifil[/re]: We could have another Lord of the Flies Contest like in the olden days!
[re=484307]magic titty[/re]: That’s a crisp bit of soft irony ya got there.
[re=484275]bureaucrap[/re]: LA County just raised the price of opposite marriage by like twenty bucks.
[re=484307]magic titty[/re]: And its Hundred best comments, not Ten.
[re=484296]richardwb1[/re]: I meant 9 *hours* (vs. 12 in DC). As for the events of the past now 14 hours, the big one appears to be the utter fail of Amtrak. A memorable day indeed. More to follow.
For those of you who can see the “Breaking News # Tip to a skinny stomach” is it just me or do you too suspect that the belly fat has been transferred to the buttocks which now extend outside the panel, who knows how far?
[re=484309]JadedDIssonance[/re]: And that soft irony did not go unnoticed, friend.
[re=484320]Sharkey[/re]: Hm. Fifty, tops.
Man, what this list is missing is “The Decade in Crazy Websites”. Cause Wonkette is where I come when I really want to get close to the crazy.
[re=484331]bureaucrap[/re]: Should have addressed that to Mr. Layne.
We are coming up on 9 yrz completed in this decade.
I nominate the last decade as the Worst Decade in History for Vice-Presidents (elected and nominated).
I defy anyone to name a decade that could match:
1. Sarah Palin
2. Dick Cheney
3. Joe Lieberman
4. John Edwards
[re=484307]magic titty[/re]: I think you just scored number 7 on the list.
[re=484296]richardwb1[/re]: Count ‘em: 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, and tenth but not least, 2009. And thank heavens we are done.
[re=484358]germansteel[/re]: I dunno. Spiro Agnew was probably worth any two of those.
[re=484432]Gumboz1953[/re]:
I was gonna add that putting Dick Cheney on any decade’s list would automatically make it the Worst Decade in Human History.
Sprio was a piker by comparison, only guilty of taking cash bribes in unmarked envelopes at his veep office. Didn’t even torture any one to get it, not to mention tell a bunch of lies to get us into an unnecessary war or have any daughters as obnoxious, ugly and overbearing as Lizard Cheney.
[re=484444]germansteel[/re]: Point taken, but maybe Spiro would have been as bad as Cheney if he hadn’t had an actual (albeit evil) president to keep tabs on him. Cheney, as we know, ran the show, his president but a figurehead like on that Star Trek episode with the Nazis.
