You people make us proud. Here is the “Big Sale On Truck Nutz” quiz team in the “Geeks Who Drink” competition at some bar, we think in Colorado. “My team was named in your honor,” reports Wonkette operative Seth H. “We didn’t win, but we did come in last place, hurray! Intentionally! Because last place gets you the same free round as first place.” And that’s exactly how the Electoral College works, too! [Geeks Who Drink]

While the hub for Internet-Americans that hate Barack Obama is clearly Ed Hale’s hcsfjm.com, its closest rival appears to be the “Nobama Network,” which describes itself as “a portal site designed to bring together the Grass Roots Movements in America spawned by outrage over the actions of the DNC disenfranchising voters, reassigning delegates, selecting their illegitimate Nominee and diminishing the most basic factor that makes America great, our right to vote and be heard!” Among the sites on this “portal” are the 40-50 worst sites on the entire Internet.

Your Wonkette is in Vanity Fair (the one with the cover breasts of, let’s see, yes, Angelina Jolie), in this blog chart thing showing various levels of boredom/earnestness of the famous blogs of the Internet.
