Thanks For the Memories, Tom
Oh, we do so love the internet. In addition to (barely) paying our bills, it provides us with upwards of 20 minutes of amusement a day. Today’s bit of fun comes in the form of a seemingly brand-new email harvesting scam that’ll send your best wishes directly to The Hammer. The only thing that makes it seem not quite on-the-level to us is the lack of a call for donations to Mr. DeLay’s legal defense fund (a must-have for this year’s hot political websites). Still, though — we signed it, and we suggest you do the same.
So… we’re just about bored enough to ask — the site is registered by proxy, meaning it’s the Fire David Gregory kid again, right?
Update: The Fire David Gregory kid wrote in to say that it’s not him, as he doesn’t even like Tom DeLay. We regret the error. Also, he was upset that we called him “kid.”
Thank You, Tom DeLay

Cue the Boyz II Men - We’ve Reached The End of the Road
Well, that’s it for us. On January 30th, the permanent Wonketeers David Lat and Alex Pareene take the helm full-time. Until then, there are still six publishing days to be filled. In what must surely be a Wonkette fantasy realized, six steady hands will take turns on this dirty bitch, one day each. First up, tomorrow: Low Culture’s Jean-Paul Tremblay.
I’d like to thank everyone who gave this warmongering libertarian a shot at making you laugh. We’re not sure what they were thinking either. But as my favorite writer Harlan Ellison is fond of saying, it seemed like a good idea at the time.
We’d also like to give special thanks to the Washington Canard, our co-editor Felix, the girlfriend and Lockhart Steele for all the help this week.
I don’t blog outside of this site; so if you like what you’ve seen, keep your eyes on other publications around DC naïve enough to put my name to print. Who knows, like that inexplicable burn you’d rather forget, we may just show up unexpectedly in your life sometime soon.
