We asked you to come up with the new D.C. Cocktail of the Now, and good jesus did you people respond. There were a hundred or so actual drink recipes submitted in the comments, and your editors painstakingly tested them all in our elaborate Experimental Bar. The winning choice — with small adjustments by Wonkette and mixologist Scott L of the new Asian Spice restaurant in Chinatown — will amuse your brain, delight your senses and, most importantly, fuck you up.

There’s a new restaurant opening in Chinatown called “Asian Spice,” and Booze Master ScottL wants you to help create a famous new cocktail. “I would love to put a Wonkettini on the menu and thought it might be amusing if the commenters suggest a tasty libation befitting the name,” ScottL writes.

• YOU’RE ALL SCREWED: The fine folks who have been working tirelessly to transition your Wonkette to a new home have informed your editors of a wonderful new technological “feature.” Now when we ban your commenter accounts, we have the Nuclear Option of an IP address ban! This means you won’t be able to sneak your way back in, ever. Good luck, suckers!

If you check out the New York Times’ comments section on its Tim Russert “death” article, you will notice most of the commenters telling a certain “Lesley” to shut her fat face for being Insensitive. But there is no longer any comment by this pagan Lesley, because the New York Times censors free speech and has deleted the comment! We have secretly obtained Lesley’s manifesto, and she has some pointed criticisms of “Lil’ Russ.” We’ll give you a hint: she says “Noobama.” MORE »

• STILL CAN’T COMMENT? If you’ve created an account and can’t comment and can’t create a new account (with that name and e-mail address), our tech people kindly ask you to search all your spam and junk mail folders for “Wonkette commenting.” There’s a link in the email; you click it and it activates your comment account. Still not working? Send us your commenter name and email address and tech will try to manually activate your account.

HELPFUL COMMENT REGISTRATION TIP? If you’re still having troubles, try registering a slightly different commenter name with a different e-mail address. This is “working” for a lot of people who got stuck.

This morning, the Associated Press wrote that Hillary would concede the delegate race to Barack Obama tonight, which is very nearly the same thing as “conceding the race.” The Clinton campaign then called this story 100% false and said Hillary won’t be concedin’ nothin’ tonight. And since Hillary’s rabid loyalists are already peeved with the media’s coverage of the campaign, the AP’s little “gambit” here has set off quite a storm on Hillary Clinton’s official “blog,” in the comments. An arbitrary selection of the best comments, after the jump. MORE »

ALL (OTHER) BLOG COMMENTERS MUST DIE: What happens when you write a political blog post suggesting all commenters are half-literate racist morons who write the same ALL-CAPS crap regardless of the post’s subject? [Political Machine]

COMMENTERS: WE FEEL YR PAIN! We are aware of the ongoing tragedy, in that many of Wonkette’s loyal, bestest commenters are still locked out of the system, even though they’ve tried to re-register, and did everything as instructed. Hold tight; the tech team is working to fix it, and like Hillary, we shall overcome (these minor technical difficulties). Will post an update as soon as the problems are resolved. Sorry!

We like to celebrate our commenters on those occasions when they write something so trenchant that it’s elevated to the purple plains of the Main Stream Media. Such was the case yesterday with Starred Commenter(TM) SayItWithWookies. On the post that yours truly titled “President Bush Gives Up Golf For Iraq,” S.I.W.W. — as (s)he is known in the Starred Commenter Lounge — commented “Has he thought about giving up Iraq for golf?”, making us feel stupid for not thinking of that (BANNED?). The comment was so good that it made the Washington Post newspaper. Congratulations! But what have you done for us lately? [Washington Post]

Secret Wonkette Operative “M” sent us this photograph, which he actually took somewhere in the Eastern Time Zone, of Barack Obama saying something menacing to this poor reporter, who was probably only doing a good journalism thing like asking Obama to prove he was American! (Or maybe it was about economics, who knows.) In other words, let’s have a Caption Contest! UPDATE: We have a wiener! MORE »
