Dear Gawker, your Shift key seems to be stuck

As Barack says: Enough. A bipartisan, pan-generational coalition of Valleywag writers has pulled together this joint statement: Will you crazy New Yorkers at Gawker please stop with the SCREECHY ALL-CAPS, the sputtering italics, and especially the runaway exclamation points!! And question marks?? We get it: You really hate McCain/Palin. G%#&@dammit hate hate hate! So much so that the regular alphabet can’t convey it. Props for keeping your increasingly incoherent rants within the 7-bit ASCII character set, but out here in San Francisco — which frankly makes your city look like a GOP think tank — we have a saying: We’ve already got one Hunter S. Thompson, and he’s dead.
