Night of the Comment
Q: Why is there such a long gap between when I submit a comment and when the comment actually appears?
A: Unlike most websites, RATYHTL subjects each submitted comment to a rigorous review process:
Step One: Is the comment in bad taste?
Once a comment has been submitted, it is then sent to Ground Zero where it is reviewed by RATYHTL's Board of Standards and Practices, consisting of the ghosts of Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold and Rev. Zmb. (zombie) Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

If the comment is deemed to be in good taste, it is then beamed directly into a small radio transceiver implanted in the skull of Shamu the Killer Whale...

...where it is then translated into a Michelle Malkin-specific insult. For example, after undergoing this process, the following comment:
Rodney, I hate to disagree with you but, while the "Religious Right" may be to behind many of our country's current problems, I find it hard to believe that they blackmailed astronomers into stripping Pluto of its status as a planet.
... was translated into ...

If a comment is found to be in "poor", "bad" or "caca-dooty" taste, it is then forwarded to none other than Professor Stephen Hawking to be checked for scientific accuracy.

Finally, if a comment passes all of the above criteria, or was submitted by "briannirvana", it is posted in the comments section. Tomorrow I'll show you just how to actually submit your comments.
grate - willingly, with pleasure; gratefully
kudainw - glorify
lamba - long; tall

Holy Stoli, I think I just outsmarted TypeKey!
Hi, Shamu! Can you please tell Ms. Malkin to go get anally fisted by a crew of right-wing longshoremen?
And in case that was over the line, (which I somehow doubt, but just in case) Dr. Hawking, it's an honor. "A Brief History of Rhyme" was teh dopest shit EVAR!

i battled my nose all night. only one nostril worked depending on what side i am laying on. i awake and slip into a hot shower and it hurts my entire body. But being mentioned in the thoughtless was very thoughtful.

Hi Rodney! I'm listening to the Dead Milkmen today because it's my birthday and I saw you guys perform in Paris on this day in 1991. This is the first time I've looked up your blog--it's such a relief to see that you're a freethinking non-idiot!
