Ted ‘Tubes’ Stevens Explains His New Internet For Us

Wednesday, July 9th, 2008

Corrupt Alaskan Sen. Ted Stevens, the old hack whose limited understanding of the Internet as a “series of tubes” launched a soul-crushing meme, has redesigned his Internet web site! And he’s sent out a release about the changes that we found funny, but probably only because, you know, he’s Ted Stevens and he’s writing about the Internet again. For example: “Online communities - We now have a presence on YouTube, Flickr (photo sharing site), and MySpace in addition to the Facebook page we have had. You can become a friend or subscriber to these pages and this will allow you to stay in touch with the campaign in a whole new way. Links to all of these sites are located on the front page of the website.” OK, you tell us Flickr is for photo sharing, but what in the hell are YouTube, MySpace and the Facebook?? [Ted Stevens]


Reason Mag’s Holiday Party Was [Clever Play on "Reason"]

Tuesday, December 18th, 2007

ahh, sweet god-free oxygenLibertarian super-chic magazine Reason held its “Secular Christmas” party in DC last night, and Team Wonkette was all over that shit. Among the many (one) super celebrity guests was Christopher Hitchens, whose alcohol tummy shone in full force as he led a sing along to a secular version of the already-secular “Deck the Halls” carol. Then he left before we could say hi, totally lame, screw that guy. But editor Nick Gillespie — who I think I’ve called a Paultard a few times — was kindly, and we thank him for the several bottles of Yellow Tail shiraz that we chugged. Anyway, masterful chronicler of the Human Condition Liz Gorman was on the scene to take some photos, so check them out if you want to live.


TBD: Who Is Paultard Michelle?

Monday, December 10th, 2007

paultardhotornot.jpgIs this Paultard attractive, or is she just another blimp? Oh, also — who the fuck is she? A gallery of this femmetard “Michelle” has appeared on Flickr. It appears the Paultards are learning about sex. Awww. [Flickr]


Annapolis Not Breaking Into Furious Riots

Tuesday, November 27th, 2007

peace is for menThe big news in fake diplomacy today is Condi’s Middle East peace conference, which held talks in Annapolis, MD this morning between Israel, Palestine, Syria and some other horribly screwed places. It just so happens that this Wonkette editor is living in Annapolis until December, so what a coinky-dink! I went down and took some pictures of the protesters, which included Code Pink, a guy who looks like Santa Claus, some old ladies and various anti-Semites. Check out the gallery, the aesthetics of which are sure to bring peace to all troubled nations across the globe.


Obama’s Flickr Intern to be Fired

Wednesday, October 10th, 2007

barryflickr.jpgBarack Obama set himself up a Flickr account recently, so all the cat lovers, perverts, and Photoshop-abusing goths could look at dozens upon dozens of nearly-identical photos of Barry addressing crowds in his shirtsleeves or Tracee Ellis Ross posing with unidentified people for some reason. And today, whatever poor staffer was in charge of the photostream uploaded a set featuring the wedding of some random, non-Obama people, as well as a cute picture of a dog and a baby. Whoops! It’s all been up for a couple hours now and no one’s noticed, except the Flickr commenters who pretty much always show up to note that every fucking dog (or baby) is soooooo adorable.

Inside the Monster’s Lair: Cheney Residence Fotos!

Tuesday, November 28th, 2006

With all the intrigue bubbling up around Cheney’s Official Residence, you’ve surely wondered what it looks like inside the evildoer’s lair. Is it filled with comical Halloween fake spiderwebs and skeletons, or maybe giant 1960s “Dr. No” electronic panels and beeping devices? Probably, but the residence itself just sort of looks like a regular old white person’s mansion in NW … with creepy Official Logos carved into all the windows:


These pictures are right there on Flickr for anybody to see, but you are not allowed to see the lair from the air. Lots more foto fun, after the jump.

Tuesday, November 7th, 2006

robotvote.jpgIf there’s anything less informed than an American Voter, it’s a common baby. But thanks to Flickr’s Election Day Special Collection, we’ve discovered that even little infant children are voting and then bragging about it. MORE »


Remainders: Failures To Launch Edition

Friday, March 10th, 2006

* Yes, tipsters, we know all about how Jessica Cutler’s most famous sperm donor was in town, sporting a new “salt and pepper” beard, discussing something really boring, and, no, we don’t know if he’ll be out this weekend prowling for poontang and how much he’s willing to pay. Why not go get this sort of information from Jessica? I’m sure she’ll have something on her blog once she spits out this afternoon’s dicks. [Cleveland Plain Dealer] MORE »
