Ace of Spades Really Hates Ron Paul, Endorses Re-Election of Barack Obama

“I heretofore state I will not support, or vote for, Ron Paul, under any circumstances whatsoever. “That’s where I’m coming from. Under no circumstances whatsoever will I vote for this reactionary, anti-semitic peacenik ‘We brought 9/11 ourselves’ pacifist Chomskyite crank. “And I’ll say it: I will, yes, be amenable to Barack Obama being re-elected under [...]

Friedrich Hayek vs. Ace of Spades

“Yeah, I know political journalists aren’t supposed to believe in ‘omens.’ Still, there’s something vaguely . . . hinky about the way Perry’s stealth campaign has been operating here in Iowa. “Call me crazy. Attribute my forebodings of doom to irrational prejudice. Say what you will, and I don’t care, but I felt a need [...]

#tcot @AceOfSpadesHQ So, You’re Still Kinda Butt-Hurt About Rick Perry, Huh?

Look, I’ve just endured my own Disastrous Month of Pain, OK? But I seriously doubt that 78 days from now I’m gonna be grousing bitterly about Gloria Allred and Ginger White. So why — 78 days after the Tampa debate — is Ace still ax-grinding against Michele Bachmann? What’s especially interesting is that Bachmann signs [...]

#OccupyFail at #BlogCon11: What Fun!

For the second consecutive year, Tabitha Hale didn’t think I was important enough to be invited to participate on a panel at BlogCon. Or maybe Tabitha just hates my guts. Either way, she subsequently offered me a “scholarship” to attend BlogCon, a consolation prize I was too proud to accept. Pity is no substitute for respect, and if [...]

Herman Cain Under the Bus? ‘No Wonder We’re So Well and Truly F–ked’

“I write for money. And so far, nobody’s offered to pay me to save the world.” – Robert Stacy McCain, May 5, 2008 Mike Hendrix at Cold Fury has an excellent round-up about the argument among conservatives about how we should react to the accusations against Herman Cain. And in that round-up, Mike cites Jeff Goldstein [...]

Ace Don’t Love Him No Herman Cain

Everybody knows I love Ace, so much so that I laugh even when he’s viciously mocking my candidate: [H]e talks like a f–king dumbass much of the time, and when he’s not talking like a f–king dumbass, he’s doing an empty folksy pander which is all very nice for those who are receptive to it [...]

Ace Rips Herman Cain Pretty Good

Remember the whole Gitmo-release thing with Wolf Blitzer yesterday? Ace really didn’t dig that at all: He literally seems to be making it all up on the fly, and I mean all, so when he’s asked a question like this, all he knows about the situation is literally just that which was contained in the question. [...]

Kate Upton in Her Underwear Says You Really Ought to Hit Ace’s Tip Jar Again

Don’t ask me how I know what Kate Upton wants you to do. Just take my word for it. Go over to Ace of Spades HQ and hit his tip jar for $5 or $10 and then come back and we’ll talk about it.

SCOAMF Nation

MANCHESTER, N.H. Dan Collins says he was the first person to wear a “SCOAMF” T-shirt to a Tea Party rally: Dan says Ace of Spades HQ readers will know what this acronym means.

People Who Like Sarah Palin Liked Her Iowa Speech; Ace of Spades, Not So Much

Sarah Palin gave her big speech in Indianola while I was at lunch today with Da Tech Guy. However, I got a sort of live feed on the event via a series of text messages from Tea Party activist Tiffiny Ruegner. “No doubt she’s campaigning,” Tiffiny texted, and at the end: “Finished. Didn’t announce. . . [...]

‘This Whole Capitalistic System Is Basically in Place to Rip Your Ass Off’

Ace of Spades discovered this “philosopher of economics”: Lots of f-bombs and other NSFW language here, but the really necessary content warning involves the coffee-spewing moment at which she starts talking about her “ancient ancestors.” Watching this lady explain her worldview, I found myself wondering if she’s been hanging out with Peggy Joseph. Probably because I’m such [...]

In Fairness to Ace …

. . . having decided to side with Pamela Geller in her dispute with Ace over Rick Perry, I am nevertheless obliged to say Pamela struck a low blow in blogging about her allegation that Ace publicly referred to her (offline and in person) as “Atlas Juggs.” Ace strenuously denies this. In general, ladies: Don’t [...]
