It That A Shark?

All the more reason (as if any other were needed than the fact that it’s Time Magazine) not to read them.

Is it just me, or is everybody else the weird one? Because I’ve never gotten the whole Wonkette phenomenon. Why does everybody think she’s this brilliant, insightful writer? She’s just another paparazza wannabe, dishing dirt and sexual innuendo and hoping to pick up a book contract as the author of the next Bridget Jones’s Diaries.

As near as I could tell she was a gossip columnist with no more style or instinct than is required for that trade. There are any number of real writers on line in the DC area, and surely the Time organization has someone on staff who was worthy of promotion.

I read the blog perhaps twice. Found the same tired formula crap both times, and never went back.

The job is supposedly as an editor. Will she ship copy back with a note about the need for more kinky sex?

This one is totally unfair to the shark.

So, does that mean we will see Time.com do more stories about politicians and their anal fetishes?

Time magazine seems to be sinking lower and lower. The SigOt’s father’s third wife sent us a subscription earlier this year…we were polite and thanked her for the present, but were somewhat upset about receiving such a blatant waste of paper pulp.

Wonkette did seem to have an anal fetish, didn’t she?

I knew this would happen. Now someone will say she’ll fit right in the pundits on Time because of her fetish, and then it will go downhill.

She must represent the demographic they wanted to reach, the anal retentive.
