A full report is coming shortly (?) about today’s insanity on the Brooklyn Bridge, but in the meantime here’s a video … and then, after the jump, some Exclusive Wonkette Protest video your day editor shot on Friday.
Post-apocalyptic America has a few rules still, like “stay out of trailer parks at night,” and “personal mobility scooters are hilarious, in every context.” Did we have to say that? NO, on to the real issue: America also has some very awful rules, like “automatically assume a black man walking into a bank with a [...]
Oh look, actual news: Judge Susan Bolton of Federal District Court in Phoenix has blocked the most controversial parts of Arizona’s popular new immigration law right before it is to take effect, because she hates white people.

Former chair of the Florida Republican Party Jim Greer, most “famous” nationally for flipping out over Obama’s socialist plan to tell American children “education is good for you” on their first day of school last year, was “arrested Wednesday morning at his home, though charges against the disgraced chairman were not immediately available.” Indeed, anyone [...]
POTENTIAL SEASON TWO CAST MEMBER? “Gov. David Paterson’s 15-year-old son was arrested for possession of a stolen credit card after cops caught him shooting dice near his Upper West Side school, law enforcement sources confirm.” A textbook case of “boys will be boys,” to be sure. Hopefully he bought some cool shit before they caught [...]

The very serene and affable Harvard scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr. was arrested Thursday after a lady called the cops in the middle of the day, reporting that she saw a man apparently trying to break into a nearby house.
Alan Keyes wanted to get arrested at Notre Dame and thrown in jail forever so very much that… well he just COULD NOT WAIT until the actually graduation ceremony in nine days! He and some friends were apprehended on the Notre Dame campus today, for trespassing: “Keyes was among a group of 26 protesters, some [...]
Look at this guy, in the photo! WHAT DOES HE DO FOR A LIVING. Does he bowl for a living? Was he an extra in the 1963 part of Goodfellas? Maybe. His name is Brett Mecum and he sells hot cum on the Internet. No, just kidding. Just kidding about his last name. He’s really [...]
C-list Republican media twat John Ziegler, famous for accosting Nate Silver, accosting Max Blumenthal, and politely interviewing Sarah Palin in her home, went to the USC Journalism School the other night for the Walter Cronkite Awards Dinner — honoring Katie Couric, the ENEMY — and apparently wasn’t content to make his fuss in the area [...]
