The Wonkette Drinky Meetup Salons begin with a party one week from today in Los Angeles, California. (Next up will be Detroit in early June. You excited, Detroit? When’s the last time someone came to see you? Long time, right? Here, let us wipe your tears and hand you a xanax.) All comers are welcome, [...]
Good morning from your Wonkette editor since, oh, 2006. It has been an exciting (terrible?) six years, hasn’t it?

Campbell Brown, whose enormous face we splattered all over this site in exchange for money, what, two-three years ago now?, is quitting her CNN show! This is largely because of her failure to defeat O’Reilly, Olbermann, and Nancy Grace in the ratings, but, because she is a high-powered media type, and they never admit defeat [...]
Let us bow our collective heads in gratitude to the many fine sponsors who keep this Wonkette operation floating upon the terrible seas of democracy: YouBetYourHealth.com, PrescriptionForChange.org, Meat.org, Barbara Parker’s The Dark of Day, Naomi Novik’s Victory of Eagles, the all-new Newsweek, Christopher Davenport’s As You Were, UNC Business Essentials, and Dad’s Awesome Grilling Book.

Here’s a fun new “open thread” thing we will do, which will simultaneously tackle the Problem of coming up with an “open thread” deal and the other Problem of how your Wonkette editors need to whore their free-lance stuff, so that you will read it, and then Wonkette’s free-lance editors will be all, “THX 4 [...]
