    If he cared about his community, Ken Layne would be advertising vicious desert beasts that have no inclination, other than to take your money. These are evil “Socialist” beasts. Watch out for them. Also. Lizard people thrive in desert environments. Also.

  2. shortsshortsshorts: It’s almost as if Wonkette has taken Hopey’s “volunteerism/care about stuff” thing to heart.

    I demand snark and nothing but the snark!

    Stop trying to buy Denby’s love! He’ll never care about Wonkette the way I care about Wonkette, also.

    Alli? Sounds Muslin. Has the threat condition been raised to Orange yet?

    Re: the alt-text — I’ve never seen that dog before in my life.
    I hope they find the poor sweetie though.

    We like the dogs, at Wonkette … two of your editors have abandoned dogs as permanent house guests.

    Ken Layne: With good reason,

    I am not some giant a-hole, so I am not going to post a joke here about this poor, lost dog. I wish the owner luck in finding Alli. But that name is bothering me. Is it like allí, the Spanish word? Is it like Ali, the boxer/central figure in the Sunni-Shī‘a schism? Or is pronounced like the shortened version of Alison? Could it even be pronounced like the word ally, like the weight-loss drug?

  8. While this sort of thing breaks my heart, being a dogged liberal, I am curious as to how one loses a Newfie. As someone who grew up with a Great Pyrenees — a white version of a Newfie — all I remember is that when our dog got loose, you would be informed by the fact that traffic was stopped on the two-lane road near our house as my quadruped-American buddy liked to park himself across the divider line and just, you know, take in the attention.

    You can stop looking. I ate him. Fur and all.

  10. “Alli” - so that’s dog for “diarrhea” ?

  11. Someone in the “Black House” likely stole him & fried em up fer dinner

    Of course we are dog people. But you can’t fool me. That’s VP Darth Chain-eye in one of his secret spy disguises except this one likes beef instead of babies.

  13. I love dog’s too, and recovered my charge from the MoCo shelter more than once, but the request of the owner to stop other people walking newfie’s and “ask about the dog” is way over the top. what should I say? “Hey, did you steal that dog?” “Are you sure that’s your dog?” or should I just ask…”oh what great dog, where did you get him?”

    I mean. REALLY.

    I hope the dog is found…I would be looking along the C&O at this point, as well as visiting the shelters in person.

    Ken Layne: I love it when the layers of dark, encrusted bile, alcohol, and cynicism are peeled back to reveal the ooey, gooey core of Wonkette. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.

    Also, alt-text? AWESOME!

    I think I saw him trolling the backstage area of the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show last night. Or was it the Purina Puppy Chow after party? What a bunch of pussies.

  16. Serolf Divad says at 9:05 am, February 11th, 2009

    Ken, I hope there is a night of alcohol fueled, unbridled, playing the two-backed-beast in this for you.

  17. mylesfromnowhere says at 9:27 am, February 11th, 2009

    do pumas eat dogs?

  18. Mr Blifil says at 9:39 am, February 11th, 2009

    Dog. Doggie. Doggie Doggie Doggie Doggie DOG doggie doggiee DOOOGGGG. Doggie.

  19. Mild Midwesterner says at 9:44 am, February 11th, 2009

    What’s all the fuss? Is it really that odd that a creature would attempt to escape Georgetown?

  20. Peanut Inspector says at 9:44 am, February 11th, 2009

    Perhaps gone back to Canada, eh? They don’t call it “New-Fun-Land” for nothing.

  21. heroinmule says at 9:54 am, February 11th, 2009

    Newfoundlands are pretty much the sweetest dogs ever. This is HEARTBREAKING.

  22. Wasn’t Obama looking for a dog for the girls?

    Look for an announcement soon. If he can steal an election…

  23. Reefpilot says at 10:24 am, February 11th, 2009

    Wonkette, there are much more important things to talk about, like Caylee or that slut who went missing in Aruba.

  24. Awww. I hope they find her.

  25. Gorillionaire says at 11:34 am, February 11th, 2009

    Nothing snarky to say. Dogs are the best. I hope your friend makes it home soon.

  26. PerhapsSo says at 12:08 pm, February 11th, 2009

    Again, the Wonketeer bat signal goes up in the sky. Strap on your truck nutz and go find that dog!!!

  27. Brendan M. says at 1:29 pm, February 11th, 2009

    Man, Denby is right about you people. Not factually, but his general impression, that you’re all awful, awful people, is obviously true.

  28. smithers42 says at 1:29 am, February 12th, 2009

    No snark about the Newf. I hope s/he’s found soon. :(
