Wonkette special correspondent Riley Waggaman is like the child you threw out and then, years later, kind of felt bad about. What ever happened to him?

Hey! sorry! I have been at the park since last weekend. But I have not been able to write anything recently, mostly due to terrible laziness/I'm now stashing my computer at a friend's house in Brooklyn, which makes breaking-news coverage difficult.
But I was there for all the craziness last night/this morning! We got rained on hard. Developed a bit of a cold so now I am resting up. Will try to write something today!
