Welcome to The Stiletto Blog, a current events blog for conservatives that is at the nexus between cut-throat politics and high-end footwear. Plus, stuff that makes The Stiletto laugh so hard the martini she’s sipping comes out her nose.
The Stiletto Blog was chosen an Official Honoree in the Political Blogs category by the judges of the 12th Annual Webby Awards, along with CNN Political Ticker, Swampland (Time magazine) and The Caucus (The New York Times).

Not that The Stiletto condones corporate chicanery, but she will leave it up to her readers’ imagination to surmise what the “M.” in the associate’s name stands for – especially around the executive watercooler at Mercury Interactive.
Whoopsie!
This reminds the Beast of another famous error commited in print by the infamous John Wilmot, Second Earl Of Rochester at the court of Charles II.
Wilmot was known for his wit - he wrote scores of fithy, gossipy anonymous poems that made fun of various courtiers. He gained great popularity by passing them around. However he got his comeuppance when one day he passed the wrong poem to the King. Wilmot accidently gave him a copy of a pornographic rant making fun of Charles himself for his excessive love of wenching.
Wilmot was forced to flee England for months until Charles relented and allowed him to come back. The poem was called "A Satyr On Charles II", but in the end the joke was on Wilmot.
Never allowed to return to Court Wilmot set up as "Doctor Bendo", a quack physician skilled in treating barrenness. His practice was, it is said, 'not without success,' implying his intercession of himself as surreptitious sperm donor.
He died of syphillis at age 33.
