Wonkette

Due to clandestine sabotage (we assume), Wonkette is suffering from a couple technical glitches. They are, in no particular order: MORE »

You know, we keep forgetting that it’s the Democratic Party we’re talking about when we make these crazy predictions: MORE »

Regular Wonkette readers and self-googlers, take heed: due to a massive Gawker Media-wide tech “upgrade” over the weekend, Wonkette is basically broken. So — images may not be loading! Posts may disappear! Comments may not be postable (as usual)! Please be patient, and please let us know what’s not working. If something seems buggy or broken, send us an email, with a description of the problem, your browser, your OS, and a screenshot (pretty please). MORE »

This is really, really weird — highly irregular, one might say. We honestly have no clue as to how this happened. MORE »

The Congressional Catfight races get closer and closer. Since the polls opened earlier this afternoon, the margin has never widened beyond 52-48, with Katherine Harris and Barney Frank trading the lead back and forth. At several points over the past few hours, the vote has been exactly tied. Right now, Frank leads Harris by 18 votes, out of almost 2000 cast. MORE »

Yeah, we were having some technical difficulties this afternoon. Our servers had to be rebooted, and it took way longer than it was supposed to. (This reader email summed it up perfectly: “Nice work, guys. You broke it.”) MORE »

Okay, this was the blind item we asked you about:

WHICH daughter of a high-powered politician should be more careful about telling people of her raging cocaine habit? The misguided girl wrote an e-mail to pals saying, “I did blow all night - it was wild!”

Among the commenters, several names emerged. One suggested Ashley Biden, who was previously arrested in Chicago; but the charge was obstructing a police officer, not a drug charge. Another raised Noelle Bush as a possibility, which drew a scoffing response: “Noelle Bush doing coke’s not news.”

Given that the item appeared in the New York Post, several suggested that the daughter in question probably has a New York connection. Chelsea Clinton was jokingly named (jokingly, since she’s probably too much of a goody-goody to do coke).

Georgina Bloomberg was another guess. Well, she does have a pierced tongue — and wears a $1,600 gown while riding a horse. That’s pretty nutty!

We got lots of emails on this too. We share the contents of them with you after the jump (because they’re too scandalous to put on the main page).

As you have probably noticed, we are continuing to experience some technical difficulties around here. But hey, at least we are in good company: MORE »

Well, we cant make too much fun of the CNN.com crew — their site looks a hell of a lot better than ours does right now. MORE »

In case you had not noticed (and we tried to warn you), text formatting is FUBAR over here today. Rather than make you strain your eyes to read between the naked bits of html character encoding, we are just switching to an all-funny pictures of Katherine Harris format for the rest of the day. Like when the Classic Rock station switched to Jack FM.

Dearest Readers:

Over the weekend, Wonkette broke. As you can probably see. Basically, comments aren’t publishing at the moment, old entries look like shit, and other various and sundry problems that we probably haven’t discovered yet. Please bear with us, we’ve been told by people much smarter than us that things will be fixed and working properly again by the end of the day.

In the meantime, don’t submit comments more than once, and enjoy the huge, unreadable, unbroken blocks of text below.

Yours,
Wonkette

There’s nothing like coming back from a vacation to a snow day, which is how we like to think of those occasions when our servers run like they’ve been coded by molasses-fingered orcs. We apologize for the lack of updated content, but for once it’s not our fault. MORE »
