Just one day over a decade ago, 9/11 changed everything. It did. But we got through it, because after all are we not Americans — that’s what we do, “get through” a constant sewage stream of economic and moral disasters. It was 10 years ago. Certain authors remember it well. “9/11,” they say, sitting down [...]

There was a time, probably, when a New Yorker journalistic profile was a very interesting thing to read. Maybe the noted figures of politics or media or sport were just a lot more interesting themselves, in the vague “sometime in the past” era we vaguely recall? Maybe the New Yorker writers were better? Whatever the [...]

Popular E.B. White periodical The New Yorker has a lengthy profile on our future president, popular New Yorker and teevee personality Mike Huckabee. Our Man from Hope opens up about Jews and gays and elitists, among other New Yorker readers, so certainly he would say nothing those groups would object to, right?

NEW YORKER STAFFERS QUITE FAMILIAR WITH EXCLUSIVE NEIGHBORHOOD OF MARK SANFORD’S MISTRESS: Sparkin’ Sanford’s Buenos Aires’ pied-à-terre is in a rather lovely area where the better people congregate. “The well-kept doorman buildings feature underground parking garages and balconies. It’s winter now in Argentina, but in summer you can smell the animals in the zoo across [...]

Closing Friday, April 17: We all know how your Wonkette feels about a certain New Yorker luminary, but one bad apple shouldn’t spoil the whole bunch. The Austrian Embassy is, for just a few more days, showing paintings and self-portraits by famous New Yorker cartoonist Peter Steiner. Free. [Embassy of Austria

Ancient New Yorker reporter Seymour Hersh is so insanely well-sourced in the realms of defense, state, and intelligence that it’s hard to tell how accurate his terrifying tales about Dick Cheney are, because no other journalist is capable of seconding him. But they sure make for great blog posts! Just find the key paragraph, blockquote [...]

Let’s turn an eye toward the New Yorker, a popular New York-based magazine that sometimes has a passable amount to do with DC and politics, making it a-okay for this, “the DC gossip.” Plus, as you may have heard, certain New Yorker staff writers have been turning a bemonocoled eye towards your Wonkette, and you [...]

We truly do not want to prattle on about this nonsense much longer, but it’s fair to post our biased, liberal accounts of David Denby’s appearance on an NPR affiliate today, during which a HEROIC Wonkette reader made it through screeners (natch) to pose a question directly to this film demon re: his horrible errors [...]

What were you doing in 1996? Grunge or something? Barack & Michelle Obama were being famous, as always, and as proven in this latest glamor shot from the past, because all the photographers always want to take $exy pix of the Obamas. Read the exciting New Yorker bit about this mysterious “black and white” photo [...]

Keeping accord with weekly tradition, Wonkette channeled its insomnia at 4:30 a.m. this Monday morning to a week-old version of the New Yorker magazine, online, so as to scan for a “politics article.” There was a Ben Bernanke profile, which is EXACTLY what we asked our parents to get us for Christmas, at Best Buy. [...]

We’re calling it: the election is about to turn “red” again! Even though McCain has randomly surrendered Michigan and now needs to win Pennsylvania to have like a 15% shot at this thing… well this election will not be decided by “math numbers,” it will be decided by the American people! And the American people [...]

Ha ha, here is the latest New Yorker cover, which proves Sarah Palin is an idiot. Tina Fey should get royalties. Speaking of New Yorkers, did you people know you can get your picture taken with Palin and some fake dead thing? [New Yorker]

Here is the new New Yorker cover of Entertainment Weekly featuring your two pretend satire boyfriends, Colbert and Stewart. Is this one of their many jokes, this offensive SMUT? DON’T THEY KNOW THAT THE STUPIDS WON’T UNDERSTAND THE JOKE? Blah blah blah. [Entertainment Weekly]

Oh why looky here! Wonkette’s own Josh “Comics Curmudgeon” Fruhlinger is getting more famous by the day, and today’s proof is an exclusive Q&A in the elitist New Yorker‘s decadent Cartoon Lounge, which is a blog for furries and cartoon fetishists. Let’s see what he has to say about Alex Trebek, cartoon gays, and Mary [...]
