Is wonkette.com a neocon-licking site? Check this site out:
(notice I did not use the more amusing "Bush-licking" site despite the amount of people I'd seen happily using the term "cock-sucker" toward neocons they don't like... But I digress:

http://news.zdnet.com/2100-9588_22-5615765.html

In separate letters, Democratic lawmakers and Internet commentators urged the Federal Election Commission to make sure that political Web sites that serve as focal points for political discussion, such as Wonkette.com and Freerepublic.com, don't have to comply with campaign-finance rules.

There's more in the article. But freeperland is obvious. And wonkette was pimping a new Reagan book that George Will (one of the worst Bush-lickers ever to lap his tounge) PRAISES. The same article suggests blogs are "democratization" of the media. (hmmm, two neo-con sites is democratization? Democrazy, more likely. Why no DU or other progressive-themed sites? Truth too good for them?)

1. Ahh yes....
I saw a site that tried to argue with the census statistics that people from blue states had higher IQ's. And (surprise!) the man who made the website sounded like he had an IQ of about 54.

3. Wonkette?
She's a DC gossip columnist who I would hardly call a neo-con.

Alot of bloggers however don't like her because she's telegenic and is always on the MSM TV when they do stuff about blogs and she tends to be a vapid in her opinions.

6. I'm beginning to like this Wonkette chick more and more.
Somebody who must know the system for what a joke it is. (When Wellstone voted for the DMCA, I kinda figured it out that it's basically a waste of time for people, more perks for those who go with the majority. Especially if their vote is bought and paid for, and when was it last that votes were not bought by the highest bidder? 1802?)
