QUEEN FOR A DAY

Now that the dread starlet Ana Marie Cox has departed her second popular, poorly-named website to flog her roman à lay, one Eric Pfeiffer has taken over for the week, keeping the spot warm until the new editors assume the position on Monday. Although the locals are restless, his take on Marion Barry's second run-in so far this year (!) has already cured me of the urge to write it up here.

Each post is only worth a pint of beer or so (an import though, or one from the Pacific Northwest, which is essentially the same thing) but if nothing else he can walk away claiming the token distinction of possibly being the last heterosexual male to ever contribute to the blog. What I want to know is, why can't this distinction go to frequent guest-blogger DCeiver, who should have been considered as the permanent replacement? Unlike the new editors, including The Artist Formerly Known As The Article III Groupie — who is actually quite funny — he's actually lived here for awhile. So why are the new editors being imported from New Jersey and New York City?

Wonkette was never very wonky, but now I'm afraid it's not going to be very District-y.

P.S. — I've always wondered what the .ico for Wonkette was supposed to be. What is that thing?

Yes, I see the "W" in the corner. But what's the rest of it. Is it a cat? Is that Stitch from "Lilo and Stitch"?
