SHARIA ALERT, THREE SIRENS. Coming to D.C.: “Qatari” Muslim supremacists are building a giant super-mosque “shopping center” (whatever the hell “Qatari” is, probably the name of bin Laden’s favorite sock brand), and it will suck dimwitted consumers into its shops and brainwash them with lessons on how to be oppressed. Oh, whatever. Maybe they will [...]

Our neo-Marxist former editor Alex Pareene was driven crazy by the Politico today, which is one of many reasons we don’t ever look at the Politico. Going crazy hurts. Trump! Palin! More Trump and more Palin! Mama Grizzly back on the prowl! Gary Busey: I’m voting for Trump! Does Sarah Palin redesigning her website mean [...]

Former/greatest Wonkette editor ever, Alex Pareene of Salon, has something about this idiot “find a union member anywhere who will be annoyed with a video camera stuck in his face by a wingnut” story that is, of course, the real outrage in the Walker/Koch Bros./Wisconsin battle: Because these people are completely fucking shameless, the woman [...]

Here is a thing that happened: deceased Wonkette editor Alex Pareene liveblogged the Paladino-Cuomo debate for Capital New York! Alex: You know it occurs to me that if you’re a regular fringe candidate who for whatever reason sat this election out, you are totally watching this right now and kicking yourself.

Due to a hilarious Google mix-up, hundreds of people looking for holy-book-burning superstar Terry Jones’ contact info somehow ended up with Alex Pareene’s e-mail address, and sent him their Very Important Thoughts on the subject! Because he writes for Salon now, he uses this as a very serious “teachable moment” to explain why Peter Orszag [...]

Alyona Minkovski, a a Putin-recruited spy who does some kind of show for a Russian cable channel that is also on cable in America, maybe, has carefully studied all of Wonkette’s writers and deemed Sara Benincasa the “telegenic one,” apparently, because after her first appearance she was invited back, to talk about News Corp.’s latest [...]

THOMAS FRIEDMAN ACCURATELY DESCRIBED: He’s a “barely literate cartoon mustache of oversimplification whose understanding of global politics is slightly less comprehensive than a USA Today infographic and who possesses about as much insight into world events as a lightly vandalized Wikipedia stub entry.” [Alex Pareene/Salon]

Alex Pareene, former editor of this site and current political writer for Gawker and the guy who kindly brought your current editor (that’s me fukkas) aboard the USS Wonkette back in the summer of 2006, is leaving the Gawker Empire to write the politics or whatever for … Salon!!!

WHY WE STILL MISS PAREENE: “I, for one, think Amanpour-to-This Week might be a dumb idea and a shame because we’re taking one of our very few television celebrities who does anything to educate television-watching Americans about foreign affairs and sentencing her to a career of eliciting canned responses from the same idiot elected officials. [...]

Ken Layne: Hello former colleague, may I briefly interview you in Real Time about the most significant political development of the decade, the Blingee? Alex Pareene: YES of course. KL: Hooray! Okay now I will make up these questions. Umm … let’s see, you first discovered the Blingee, is that right?

ALL OF THIS IS FACTUAL TRUTH: “So thank fucking christ that the Commander in Chief is no longer subjecting the nation to death porn. No, this year it’s limited to a nutty little cult leader on basic cable who is encouraging his radicalized band of fanatical followers to invade the cities where the tragedy actually [...]

ALEX PAREENE ON PALIN’S INSANE GOODBYE: “It’s like Peggy Noonan, Jack London, and William Faulkner wandered into the woods with three buttons of peyote and one typewriter, and only this speech emerged.” [Gawker]

ALUMNI REPORT: Original Wonkette editor Ana Marie Cox (Class of ’04-’06) and editor-after-that Alex Pareene (Class of ’06-’07) have exciting new programming you should know about: Ms. Cox now hosts the Air America radio show The Inside Story (Saturdays at 9AM and Sundays at noon) while Mr. Pareene is now the curator of Everyone Is [...]

While all you libtards were just drunkenly having sex last November to create the new army of Kenyan Obama Babies to be born fully formed in His Image this summer, important conservative academics at our nation’s better think tanks were boldly thinking about ways to kill African Sea Pirates with laser weapons.

One of the weirdest things to watch in American politics is how the wingnuts do these lockstep moves to some “what the hell are they even talking about?” fake outrage, and within hours there are millions of inane illiterate blog comments and chain emails and C-SPAN callers all prattling on about something nobody had any [...]
