I upgraded Firefox to .0.3 and Wonkette now displays properly. But you may have fixed it. Who knows?

So, Wonkette, we're not doing TABS any more? That was a really useful feature.
FWIW, the Wonkette home page won't load for me.

‘Sending our thoughts and prayers’ puts the empty in empathy.
Weepy bullshit Christian and Missouri Republican Rep. Vicky Hartzler says the real victims in the US are Christians, and not gays.

Senate-bid-loser Hartzler will be out of a job in January, so expect her to launch a sectarian snake-oil grift on Twatter soon!
