Everyone in the online universe has already pointed out that Oklahoma Senator Jim Inhofe (R-Tornado Alley) voted against Hurricane Sandy aid last year but will probably collect sweet sweet government monies for the Oklahoma disaster. (AS WELL HE SHOULD DAMMIT BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT THE GOVERNMENT IS THERE FOR EVEN IF YOUR SENATOR IS A [...]

Not gonna lie. We’re big fans of the whole digital revolution thingy, because it means you give us monies to read our blog. Also, too, porn on the internet is so much easier to get than having to steal our dad’s copy of Hustler from between the mattress and the boxspring. We are not in [...]

You might all be surprised to learn that sometimes at Wonkette our language is, shall we say, less than decorous. You are shocked, we know! But ’tis true! We lovingly let people know they can eat bags of dicks and we never miss an opportunity to remind you that Jim Hoft is the stupidest fucking [...]

Since you read Wonkette, you are probably a ghey or a ghey-lover, so you probably reacted with a range of emotions from “cool” to “ABOUT FUCKING TIME HELL YEAH” to the news that Minnesota’s gone gay all of a sudden. What you probably did not do is gnash your teeth and rend your garments about [...]

Remember November, when there were like one million gun tragedies in a row and we kept writing about them until we had horrible gun tragedy fatigue and said fuck it, because there’s only so many times you can write about dead kids before your soul hurts? That was…what is the opposite of fun? But hey! [...]

For years we’ve had to endure the weird idea that Martin Luther King, Jr. was a seekrit conservative because…well, we don’t know why, actually. The whole thing is flummoxing, but we’ve learned to just tune those people out when they start explaining that the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards [...]

If you are a gay, you are probably pretty happy right now, what with the getting married and the turning Hillz into a lesbian, it has been all nice time for you all the time. Sorry to say that time is coming to an end, because this dude is going to sit next to you [...]

Remember John Edwards? You do, and you are sad about it, yeah? Your own little progressive Icarus who flew too close to the bright hot sun of the National Enquirer and then fell to earth, wings aflame, or hurtled into the sun, or exploded or something. We do not know because we skipped Greek classics [...]

You guys, it has been a banner fucking month to be a homosexual type person. Thus far in the merry merry month of May we’ve seen Rhode Island and Delaware go gay, but those were tiny states with laughably small land masses. It was time for a big Midwestern kind of state to step up. [...]

While the species of libertarian fanboy known as the Paultard will strenuously argue that Paul brand politics are different from those of garden variety wild-eyed Republicans, it is becoming clear that the young prince of Pauldom (Rand Paul) is laughing at the Paultards as much as we do. As part of a campaign to make [...]

Ohey there Heritage Foundation! How’ve you been? How’s the wife? Kids still taking violin lessons? Good good. Anything new? Been in the news at all lately? Oh…sorry, yes you have, because you are busy defending yourselves from multiple completely well-founded charges that you are fucking racists? That is so sad sorry we are not sorry.

You know, most people have a pretty predictable range of emotions regarding David Bowie’s new record. Some range from “OHMYGOD BOWIE IS BACK” (which is the camp this particular portion of yr Wonkette inhabits) to “meh, it is no Heroes,” to “don’t care, never liked him.” These are rational responses to pop culture and these [...]

So we wake up today and the world is all a-flutter about how Chris Christie had weight reduction surgery. (Yeah, yeah, we know people were talking about it last night, but we were busy watching the Met Gala and trying to figure out what the hell Beyonce was wearing. Sue us.)  Where were we? Oh, [...]

Hey there, errrebody. What are you up to? Nursing your hangover? Still drinking? Wishing you were dead? Us too, goddammit, but you don’t see us whining about it. Instead, we’re out combing the digital infotainews sphere and enduring get-off-my-lawn levels of derp from third-rate columnists at smallish city newspapers. Yes, Saint Paul, Minnesota’s own Joe [...]

There’s been a bit of a tin-foil lining to the Boston bombing, in that it has allowed us to really sort out who the most insensitive terrible meatsacks are wandering about in the public sphere. We likely would have gone to our graves never knowing the awfulness of New Hampshire state legislator (seriously, New England, [...]
