So over the weekend you deleted many of the birthday posts and comments that criticized them. Why? Being the great blogger and journalist you are, you should know that in blogging deleting posts and critical comments is a big no-no. But since you’re not really any good…it makes sense.

No, the posts and comments were all deleted, Rob.

BigHeadDc and BigHeadNYC are dying, and you know it. Maybe you should just go and get a real job now.

Well said, Ugh. Though I would point out that Big Head NYC can’t be dying, as it was stillborn.

But Big Head DC is currently on life support, and the prognosis is grim. I understand Dr. Kevorkian has been called in.

@ someone:

People still read Wonkette? I thought everyone had switched over to Cynics’ Party once Wonkette got whittled down to just two writers?
