To Do: The Shameless Plug Edition
- Watch Countdown with Keith Olbermann tonight — which will be featuring one of your Wonketteers as a guest. It’s on MSNBC at 8 PM EST and again at midnight.
- Attend the Media Research Center’s 19th Annual DisHonors Awards Gala — along with the other Wonketteer. The event is sold out — so if you don’t have a ticket yet, hang out near the entrance of the Grand Hyatt, and stalk your favorite conservative rock-star pundit.
- Sure, it’s a cliche; but really, they’re quite beautiful. Go out and enjoy the cherry blossoms, which are in glorious bloom. The weather couldn’t be better for it.
How do we know about the weather? We stepped out briefly this afternoon for coffee — a break from our usual routine. Team Wonkette: We stay at home, so you don’t have to.
