Wonkette Book Club: We Are All Gay For Rachel Maddow’s Book

by Doktor Zoom

One nice thing about writing for Yr Wonkette is that we don’t even have to pretend to hide our raging nerd-crush on Rachel Maddow, or pretend that we don’t just melt in fannish excitement when she acknowledges the existence of our little mommyblog — she’s called Wonkette “profane and excellent” on air…twice! (Squeee!) So we [...]

Wonkette Book Club: This Al Capp Bio Is A First-Rate Book About A Real Jerk

Wonkette Book Club: Should The South Just Go Ahead And Secede?

by Doktor Zoom

Well, duh. Hell, we’ll help ‘em pack. God knows that every time Your Wonkette runs a story about some new idiocy coming out of a former state of the Confederacy, incredulous commenters have to ask “Why did we even let them rejoin the Union?” Travel writer Chuck Thompson decided that the question was worth exploring [...]

Remember like a week ago, when “bad boy” Breitbart reporter Jason Mattera turned out to be “bad” at his job? There he was, just cold grillin’ Bono about being a big huge hypocrite for, we don’t know, probably “taxes and Africa,” and he was all GOTCHA! and Sean Hannity was all yes, please, let’s put [...]
