— Ace I wanted to mention this earlier but seriously? They do this for attention. They put up this hateful shit just to get linked. Every leftwing website links them, and then every rightwing site does eventually too.
I don't want to mention them. So do I play their game? Nah.
I know that Nick Denton's sites appeal to some people. I guess Deadpsin is his, right? And isn't there a tech one? And the various girl-oriented gossip blogs?
The point is, a lot of conservatives are basically enabling this by going to those sites. Jezebel, the rest of them. Stop going. Not just to Wonkette, which is a relatively small cog in the Denton blog-machine. All of them. Get your celebrity gossip from some other site, and your tech stuff from wherever. But stop patronizing this man's vile sites. Correction: rori says Denton no longer owns Wonkette; I'm looking into that. He still owns the almost-as-vile Gawker, though, the one that did an article on Christine O'Donnell's bush. rori updates to tell me that POS Ken Layne apparently bought out the site and is now the owner.
Okay, that out of my system: There's a boycott on and Papa John's pizza is withdrawing advertising from Wonkette now.

“I am totally convinced that once a woman has borne a child, she owes that child herself more than anything else in the first five years of his life…
I fear that raising emotion-starved and love-starved children can produce calloused, robotized adults—people who follow the group in straight lines and do exactly what everyone else is doing because someone has said it is time.
I fear for the working mother who is deluded to believe that some
kind, patient woman will tend to her childÂ’s emotional needs until she
can take over, that someone else will see that her child discovers he is
unique, until she can pick him up at the end of the day—when she is
perhaps so tired that the best he can hope to hear
is, ‘It’s time to go to bed.’
I fear for the future of the child whose hunger for love and recognition must be satisfied in large groups. I beg mothers to wake up, to experience the precious dawning of their child’s life with him. Evening comes quickly—but the evening may be too late.” Rita Chapman of Dallas, Texas, as quoted in Blueprints for Living.
Working mothers are a lie

strength that he needed to face the onslaught that awaited him when he returned that afternoon. With time, the situation gradually improved as new and better friends entered the picture, but I will always be grateful that I was available, both physically and emotionally, to help my son through a very difficult time in his life.
I have so many illustrative experiences, but IÂ’d like to share just
one more. My boys came home from high school one afternoon, dropped off
their backpacks and were heading out the door when I stopped them to ask
where they were going. I learned that there was going to be a fight at
the neighborhood park, and they were going to watch. The first thing
that went through my mind was, “What if this were my child involved in
the fight?” Of course, I had to do something — and I did. The fight was
stopped before it got started, and the crowd of fifty or sixty young
spectators was dispersed. I was the only mother at the scene, and I kept
my distance so that my sons were not implicated, but I was there,
nevertheless, to make sure that there would be no altercation.
I must repeat myself, “A mother’s presence is vital.” The age of the child is irrelevant. We need to be actively involved; we must be tuned in, focused on their safety, their growth and their learning, especially during their teenage years. We must be available to correct the outside influences that can undo our work if we are not vigilant.

MISRATA, Libya — An Oscar-nominated film director and war photographer was killed Wednesday in the besieged city of Misrata while covering battles between rebels and Libyan government forces. Three other Western photographers apparently working alongside him were wounded.
British-born Tim Hetherington, co-director of the documentary "Restrepo" about U.S. soldiers on an outpost in Afghanistan, was killed inside the only rebel-held city in western Libya, said his U.S.-based publicist, Johanna Ramos Boyer. The city has come under weeks of relentless shelling by government troops.
Hetherington tweeted Tuesday: "In besieged Libyan city of Misrata. Indiscriminate shelling by Qaddafi forces. No sign of NATO."
"Tim was in Libya to continue his ongoing multimedia project to highlight humanitarian issues during time of war and conflict," Hetherington's family said in a statement. "He will be forever missed."
Chris Hondros, a New York-based photographer for Getty Images, was seriously wounded and on a respirator at Hikma Hospital. Doctors told The Associated Press that his condition was critical.

From an article back in 2008 when Denton unloaded the site:
>>Current editor Ken Layne will take over the political site, in conjunction with ad network Blogads.<<
The site currently says it's run by Wonkette Media LLC and lists Layne as the Editor.

The profile presented her as a non-partisan equal opportunity offender (because she made fun of both Republicans AND Democrats!) whilst ignoring entirely that her shtick has always been almost exclusively anti-conservative right from day one.
I know this is no revelation to anyone here, but I still enjoy saying it: the media is full of shit.

I have four kids myself and I wouldn't want them mocked on the Internet by a bunch of cretins on the Internet. And that's just one reason why I wouldn't parade my children around in the media. What kind of mother does that?
In any case, Jack has been admonished and put on night probation until further notice. Anything involving Palin, I want to make it extra clear that *Palin* is the problem with America. Not her kids. Not her little kid, anyway. The older ones seem to be on their own path and you can't really blame Sarah for it, although she certainly encourages the sleaziest possible behavior from her grown children, which is hardly a very "family values" thing to do. But as far as Jack's future, a few months on the night shift cleaning up the furious, ALLCAPS unmoderated Wonkette comments, without pay, should teach him a thing or two about writing stuff that confuses the target. Trig is cool with us. Sarah Palin, on the other hand, is a grave danger to America.

But here's the thing:
1. It's not an attack on Malia. It's an attack on Obama.
2. They seem to be up in arms about Limbaugh's "impersonation," but it's not an impersonation. It's Limbaugh doing the same generic kid voice that he's been using to portray children since before the Obama girls were even born!

Both advertise there.
Here's what I wrote, along with the web address.
Why does Bob Evans advertise at a blog that makes fun of special needs children?
Here is the address. tinyurl.com/3n4p6hs
I am disgusted by this and do not think you want your name associated with something so despicable. I would like you to pull your advertising from this site. Please contact me and let me know what your decision is so I know whether or not to continue doing business with you.
Fight back, morons. Hit 'em in the pocket book. FUCK these assholes. I've had enough.

While they do have right wing-bashing articles on Gawker main (which has the most racist, awful commenters I've seen outside of firedoglake), they've mostly learned their lesson from the Christine O'Donnell hack job they posted last year, which had many rabid left-wingers coming out in droves to defend her, knowing full-well that the article actually made showed her adhering to her morals. Also, the comments on that article were brilliant like sunlight diffused through the Hope Diamond.
