Subject: BLOGS, you unworthy bitchzzzz...

Written By: Tia on 03/05/09 at 6:18 pm

I will share with you some of my favorites, because i am a kind and merciful King.

the first blog i check every morning when i get into work is

http://wonkette.com/

allegedly "liberal," always hilarious political commentary blog. (i put "liberal" in quotes because liberal politicians seem to get kicked around by these guys as much as the conservatives do.) their commentaries seem to center around being really asinine and hyperbolic and it never fails to get a chuckle out of me. new yorker critic david denby recently singled out wonkette as a reprehensible practitioner of the rhetorical art of "snark" in his book on the subject, which really just gave the wonkers more material to work with. wonkette also seems to be updated nearly constantly so can be usefully visited several times a day.

http://www.sadlyno.com/

"sadly no" is another liberal blog that focuses almost exclusively on caricaturing conservative commentators. it's not updated as much as wonkette but the humor is pretty similar. they also like to retouch photos.

http://www.sadlyno.com/wordpress/uploads/2009/02/mike_devine2.jpg

for instance, the photo of red state strike force writer mike devine is genuine; however, the birdpoop appears to be some kind of movie magic.

the comics curmudgeon, who also writes once a week for wonkette, does mst3kish bits about the comics. he can milk pages of hilarity out of a misplaced background color, a poorly drawn face or a hastily cobbled together joke in the funny pages, and he also keeps up with the intricate plotlines of soap-opera strips like "mark trail" and "apartment 3-g" so we don't have to. because we don't want to.

the bloggess. the woman just isn't all there. but she's hilarious.

http://cakewrecks.blogspot.com/

cake wrecks; obsessive cake chef blogger critiques badly made or otherwise disturbing cakes. her biggest nemesis is the baby shower cake in the shape of an actual baby... these turn up more often than you would think and i don't need to explain why this is a bad idea... do i?

Here is a proposal: Minnesota should be divided into two parts. The part with the Twin Cities can be assigned a single senator, and the part with Michele Bachmann can be dislodged from the earth’s crust and sent to Jupiter, in pieces.



priceless. fudgeing michelle bachmann and the whole minnesota problem. they brought us jesse ventura -- who, actually, i kinda like, but let's face it, he's crazy as a sheesh house rat -- and al franken and michelle bachmann. and prince. ease up with the crazy people, minnesota! we simply don't have room.

offensive genius from wonkette again this morning. apparently some folks are trying to rewrite obama's wikipedia entry and... well, check it out.

http://wonkette.com/406893/wingnuts-cry-after-wikipedia-locks-them-out#more-406893

The mean old liberals everywhere are censoring angry wingnuts by not letting the angry wingnuts change any mention of Barack Obama on the Internet into some ALL CAPS dingbat conspiracy theory about how Obama is a secret half-muslin African communist who is not allowed to be president because these wingnuts decided at some point — probably right after they heard he was black — that his entire 47 years of life is an elaborate fraud.

From his illegal birth by a giraffe in Kenya to his whole life in “Hawaii” and “Indonesia” and especially “Harvard,” Obama’s entire fake life has been run by some kind of shadowy organization of street organizers (Stalin?) to hide his TRUE NATIVITY.


illegal birth by a giraffe?

after i couldn't be bothered to figure out the bloggess's post about the artist now known once again as prince, she came roaring back today in rare form.

wonkette's totally on fire this morning, and not just because of the stewart-cramer dustup, which i haven't even seen yet.

really, if you don't go to wonkette right now, you're only cheating yourself of the very education you got the internet in order to achieve.

some birth-control strategies from the wonketeers.

K-Lo’s Guide to Abstinence:
1) Eat lots of good, healthy fatty foods like corn dogs, chicken fried steak with gravy and biscuits, deep fried ice cream, Outback Steak House Blooming onion, and Double Double Burgers from In/Out. Avoid unhealthy sexy foods like vegetables especially the weewee shaped ones like carrots and cucumbers–try explaining that to your gyno (oops, said too much.) Your subsequent weight gain will keep those boys and their nasty man love juice away from you.
2) Say lots of things that show you have no compassion for humans outside of those in your weight class and the rich who bankroll your employer. For the longest time, I thought that acting like a man would get me some, but apparently not.
3) Join an organization filled with self loathing in the closet types. That way, you get a gay male friend, but without any of the drama of actually being gay except during those times when he’s drunk and hits on the cute guy you were interested in. I’m still very upset with you Jonah.
4) Don’t exercise.
5) Wear frumpy clothes. The frumpier the better. Mumus are particularly good for keeping men at bay. Trackpants work too.
6) Avoid anything that vibrates. I recommend that you don’t lean next to the washer with an unbalanced load. Not going to tell you why.
7) When you feel frisky, think of bunnies or minks or dogs or the hot guy next door who you want to cover in chocolate sauce so you can lick it off but who won’t even look at you because you’re so fat and ugly or… uh, think of Bill Kristol. Yes that’s it. Associate the thought of Bill Kristol’s O-face with sex.

If you keep to these rules, then you will never have sex again.

So I was in the bathroom at Taco Cabana and someone had written “LIVE EVERY DAY AS IF IT WAS YOUR LAST” on the wall of the stall which is really horrible advice because if it was really my last day on earth I’d spend that day calling all the people who have wronged me to tell them they’re assholes.  But then you’d wake up the next morning and BAM, you’re still alive and now your voicemail is filled with people yelling at you because they all got the messages you left last night.  I was going to write this all on the stall but I couldn’t find a sharpie.  And then like a month later you’d be at a party and you’d totally run into one of the people you called but you don’t remember telling them how much they suck because you were probably drunk because who’s going to be sober on their last day on earth?  Not me, motherf’ckers.  And so I’d be all “Oh hi, you!” and they’d be like “Um…didn’t you leave me a voicemail calling me a giant whorebag?” and then I’d be all “Oh.  Aw-kward.”  But then I’d be all, “But I mean, you are kind of a whore.  You slept with my ex-fiance, remember?  Whore?”  Which would actually be kind of awesome.  Okay, I’ve changed my mind.  This is excellent advice.  Expect some calls tonight, assholes.

(warning: arguably NSFW)

I don't think women spend much time thinking about Sperm. Sure, they know it's something they have to chisel off their ribcage in the morning with a fingernail. They know it tastes like something that leaked out of a helicopter gearbox, and the nuanced flavor tends to haunt their mouth like a Tide-flavored poltergeist. Most importantly, they at least know not to let Sperm around their free-range eggs when nature calls for the c**k of a tattooed fry cook born with webbed flippers and some type of fudging bird beak on his forehead.
