THE STIMULUS PACKAGE ATE OUR COMMENTS  11:06 am February 17, 2010

by Sara K. Smith

nullYES WE KNOW THE COMMENTS ARE ALL WONKY: Technical staff are looking into it. In the meantime just keep your dirty thoughts to yourself.

Hola wonkerados.

To improve site performance, we did a thing. It could be up to three minutes before your comment appears. DON'T KEEP RETRYING, OKAY?

Also, if you are a new commenter, your comment may never appear. This is probably because we hate you.

It’s a Siemens problem. Siemen is always the problem.

Tundra Grifter February 17, 2010 at 11:20 am

By my count this is the third time we’ve been covered in Siemens. Does Siemens love Wonkette not wisely but too well?

Not having comments to compose and read leaves more time for work. That is not good. Thank goodness they’re back.

SayItWithWookies February 17, 2010 at 11:23 am

I knew there was something amiss when I ran across the fly with Vincent Price’s head yelling “help me — help meeeee.”

american mutt February 17, 2010 at 11:25 am

I’m a Wordpress Developer, Wonkette, in case you ever need my help!

This is a test comment.

Yup. Guess it works.

Naked Bunny with a Whip February 17, 2010 at 11:25 am

Barack Obama’s nuclear-powered wind turbines broke the comments?

FlownOver February 17, 2010 at 11:26 am

Goddam Kenyan tech smartass messiahs and their goddam socialist, big-gubmint pagan anti-family programs!

Today, we are all mime commenters.

JMP February 17, 2010 at 11:29 am

[re=514083]Sweet Baby Cheeses[/re]: I blame the fact that the naked Lix Phair photo is still at the top; of course Siemens is going to get into the system and gunk things up, it’s surprising that it took this long.

weejee February 17, 2010 at 11:31 am

The librrrl commentariat appears righted. Oops, that’s one of them there oxymaroons.

MzNicky February 17, 2010 at 11:37 am

HEY! IS THIS THING ON??

Oh, yes it is. yay!

pampl February 17, 2010 at 11:37 am

I told you not to hire Baby K. Smith as an admin, but noo….

Vulpes82 February 17, 2010 at 11:39 am

“Technical staff” means Baby K. Smith and Jim’s cat, doesn’t it?

BeWoot February 17, 2010 at 11:43 am

I was worried that Juli “accidentally” tucked the instruction manual in with all the office supplies she left with.

thefrontpage February 17, 2010 at 11:44 am

It’s Sarah Palin’s fault. And Seth McFarland’s fault, too.

thefrontpage February 17, 2010 at 11:46 am

Er, Seth McFarlane’s fault.

freakishlystrong February 17, 2010 at 11:46 am

But Wonkett. I keep my dirty thoughts to you.

[re=514083]Sweet Baby Cheeses[/re]:
SEMEN is the problem.
It’s ALWAYS the problem.
Men have too much.
Women want more, but are too polite to ask for it.
Oh, and FOX ‘news’ sucks.
And the Tea bagger party is good.
For progressives.
(Damn, I should have used more profanity. How often do we GET free rein here?)

american mutt February 17, 2010 at 11:54 am

[re=514122]Vulpes82[/re]: that’s cute.

Jim89048 February 17, 2010 at 11:54 am

Shot across the bow from a certain young hawt blogger at Vanity Fair, obvs.

Dorje Chenpo February 17, 2010 at 11:59 am

My St. Albans classmates and I have been calling our classmate, blue dog Senator Evan Bayh to repentance, but it has only spooked him into withdrawing precipitously.

Repentance, Evan. Not withdrawal. Not resignation. Certainly not going on the talk shows and blaming other people. Repentance.

Evan needs to apologize to the president for damaging the country, make amends by turning on Wellpoint – he took over $2,000,000 from them and blocked health insurance reform. That’s blood money. Luckily, there’s a sacrament for that. Even that. Repent!

New facebook group. Today’s Ash Wednesday, the perfect day to join us

[re=514158]Dorje Chenpo[/re]: Look, you seem well-meaning, why don’t you just drop off a few of your pamphlets and leave us in peace, I promise I’ll read them later.

Dorje Chenpo February 17, 2010 at 12:23 pm

We spooked him enough to withdraw. I want to get this blue dog to turn on his corporate master. Please. Help. I think we can do this.

You have NO idea how much “hard right over the easy wrong” they drilled into us at St. Albans. Well, here: http://www.nytimes.com/2000/10/23/opinion/23iht-edignatius.t_1.html?pagewanted=1
This is just honor code, writ large.

Remember how Rahm said we’d be “fucking retarded” to attack the blue dogs? He’s right, but if we just stay silent, it’s like being in an abusive relationship and keeping quiet so you don’t lose your home. So what can we do if we don’t attack? How about calling him to repentance compassionately?

C’mon, a gay Buddhist called to be the old testament prophet for his St. Albans class? God has a great sense of humor. Join. It’s Ash Wednesday. Easier than getting schmutz on your forehead.

BadKitty February 17, 2010 at 12:32 pm

It’s because of the witches! The witches have cast a spell on Wonkette!
She turned me into a newt!

Crank Tango February 17, 2010 at 12:33 pm

So I had this dream that there was this post by ken, and paris hilton was there, and we were all tweaking in the desert, and then I wake up and gay buddhists are something about facebook and blue dogs. I am gonna try to get back to sleep now.

JMP February 17, 2010 at 12:33 pm

Hmm; comments still seem to be working now, but it looks like the Siemens eated Ken’s latest post. Oh well, at least that gets the overexposed spoiled talentless joke of a celebrity off the screen.

Escape Goat Nation February 17, 2010 at 12:33 pm

DO NOT GO OUTSIDE TODAY!
CATHOLICS WILL GITCHYA!

Aurelio February 17, 2010 at 12:35 pm

[re=514181]Dorje Chenpo[/re]: I had a close friend who was a graduate of St. Alban’s. She was so nice that I always figured St. Albans must be a nice place. After reading your posts, now I’m not so sure. Maybe she was nice in spite of St. Alban’s, and not because of it.

Dorje Chenpo February 17, 2010 at 12:37 pm

Aurelio: She was a tranny, then. St. Albans is all male

JMP February 17, 2010 at 12:41 pm

[re=514187]BadKitty[/re]: (To tie in with one of yesterday’s threads)
I’ve got a theory, it could be witches, some evil witches,
which is ridiculous cause witches they were persecuted, and wicca,
good and loved the earth, and woman power, and I’ll be over here.

plowman February 17, 2010 at 12:43 pm

Git yer damn face outa that bong-pipe and straighten up, dammit!

Redhead February 17, 2010 at 12:49 pm

[re=514083]Sweet Baby Cheeses[/re]: The siemen made the comments so sticky, they all stuck together.

Jim89048 February 17, 2010 at 12:50 pm

[re=514188]Crank Tango[/re]: And according to the counter up there, 68 of us have been suckered into looking at a 404 screen. Witches and their majick…

NopantsMcGee February 17, 2010 at 12:53 pm

[re=514189]JMP[/re]: “Oh well, at least that gets the overexposed spoiled talentless joke of a celebrity off the screen.”

I think the comments are all wonky, still. Clearly the above comment was for one of the Sarah Palin stories.

gradgrind February 17, 2010 at 12:57 pm

O frabjous day — the Siemens are back!

Escape Goat Nation February 17, 2010 at 12:57 pm

Curling update!!!
End of End 4:

Germany 1
U.S.A 1

U.S.A. completely blows last shot and gets 1 point instead of 3.

donner_froh February 17, 2010 at 1:06 pm

Yesterday Jim, in a trance, locks himself out of his house and almost dies of freezing.

Today there are technical difficulties from outer space.

Tomorrow?

Naked Bunny with a Whip February 17, 2010 at 1:09 pm

I tried to click on the ad to buy some siemen, but the website confused me.

chaste everywhere February 17, 2010 at 1:10 pm

“Somewhere in America, patients get more face time than flies do.”

Kind of a strange battle cry. Even so, I’d rather look at Siemens up there than Maher any day.

Oh, FILES! (Never mind.)

Escape Goat Nation February 17, 2010 at 1:19 pm

Curling update!!!
End of End 5:

Germany – 4
U.S.A – 1

Oh for fucks sake. The U.S.A. completely blows it again and lets Germany get 3 out of the deal.

SOMEWHERE IN KAZAKHSTAN SOME DOUCHE WITH A WHITE HELMET IS TAKING A LUNCH BREAK NEXT TO A WIND FARM

Escape Goat Nation February 17, 2010 at 1:38 pm

Curling update!!!
End of End 6:

Germany – 4
U.S.A – 2

Whew! U.S.A. gets a point back. However, the U.S. now has to start playing a little more aggressively, which doesn’t suit their style nor their ability.

Escape Goat Nation February 17, 2010 at 2:00 pm

Curling update!!!
End of End 7:

Germany – 4
U.S.A – 3

Whew! U.S.A. gets another point and now they have the Hammer so they have to make it count.
This End will perhaps make or break the game.

desertwind February 17, 2010 at 3:39 pm

Escape Goat Nation finally blows Seimans out of the water!

pants of doom February 17, 2010 at 4:18 pm

I already forgot what my seimans question was at work. Fucking retard, also.
