@DaveWeigel Nearly Discovers Capitalism, Shrugs It Off As ‘Trolling’

by Smitty Ace seems kinda irritated with Weigel’s Slate piece about “How a small band of conservatives generated half of the Democratic Convention’s headlines”. Weigel goes on at length about another friend of this blog, the mighty YidWithLid: Democrats did not expect to spend Wednesday arguing about the capital of Israel and the appearance of [...]

Racism Industrial Complex Training Film: “Bob Is A Racist”

by Smitty This country in general, and this blog in particular, cannot stop in its relentless quest for ‘fairness’, and a raaaaacism-free country. Sadly, it appears that Bob Belvedere has been outed as a raaaaacist by the Solipsist Piffle Legal CanYouNameTerrorists (SPLC): Next up on the list to be outed, apparently, are Troglopundit and American [...]

‘It Was the Cake That Got You Dead’

Back when I was working at the Washington Times, I’d log onto Ace of Spades and say to myself, “That’s what I want to do.” Because Ace and his merry band of Morons had fun. Anyway, four years into this thing, I’m still trying to have as much fun as Ace. Blogging doesn’t have to be — [...]

SCOTUS ObamaCare Office-Pool Bet

FROM AN UNDISCLOSED LOCATION The thing about being dug in on a story — in the six weeks since May 17, I’ve done 61 entries in “The Kimberlin Files” — is that you ignore a lot of what would otherwise be Urgent Breaking News. Late last night, I was checking Ace of Spades HQ, and [...]

Insanity as an Ideology

Ace of Spades comments: Remember what I was saying in the comments on Friday, about the psychological shock of the coming repudiation, and how it would become a Concern (capital intended) as some people simply went crazy? He speaks of the increasingly deranged James Fallows, but it could equally apply to any number of liberals. [...]

@AceOfSpadesHQ BREAKS SILENCE: #BrettKimberlin’s Escalating Threat

“Quo usque tandem abutere, Catilina, patientia nostra? quam diu etiam furor iste tuus nos eludet? quem ad finem sese effrenata iactabit audacia? . . . Patere tua consilia non sentis, constrictam iam horum omnium scientia teneri coniurationem tuam non vides? O tempora, o mores! Senatus haec intellegit. Consul videt; hic tamen vivit.” – Marcus Tullius [...]

Kimberlin v. Walker Hearing Scheduled: 8:30 a.m. Tuesday in Rockville, Maryland

When terrorist Brett Kimberlin was convicted of multiple felonies in 1981, he could have been sentenced to 230 years in federal prison. Convicted terrorist Brett Kimberlin’s failed attempt to silence bloggers who tell the truth about Kimberlin’s criminality will be the subject of a court hearing Tuesday morning in Montgomery County, Maryland. Kimberlin, who in 1981 [...]

‘Barack Hussein Obama: All Liquored Up & Trashing the Place’

There are some things that Ace of Spades does so effortlessly as to make it seem utterly futile even to attempt to match him. Mocking Obama is one of those things, and so I was happy to delegate the Obama-mocking share of the blogging load to Ace for a couple of days, while I piled in [...]

Hard Times in WaPoVille: ‘BullyGate’ Timing Questioned on ‘Morning Joe’

If they’ve lost Morning Joe . . . “And there’s no doubt that . . . the timing of this obviously is in line with Barack Obama coming out a couple of days ago, saying — I’m sorry. It’s a fun — I mean, the media response to Barack Obama saying absolutely nothing. In the [...]

Alabama Man Becomes Third Victim of ‘Justice for Trayvon’ Violence Trend UPDATE: Not a Hate Crime, Cops Say

From the very start, I warned against trying this case in the media. Demagoguery and political grandstanding have predictably inflamed emotions, so that innocent people who never set foot in Sanford, Florida, are made to pay a dreadful price: First in Baltimore, then in Chicago, and now in Mobile, Alabama: Police tell News 5 the [...]

He’s Not the Jack of Spades

Ace of Spades gets uncomfortable when I praise him too enthusiastically, or maybe he’s just doing that aw-shucks-’tweren’t-nuthin’ humble thing. Being a natural-born extrovert myself, I have no problem with praise, of which I think I get far too little, mainly because people don’t enjoy praising such an obvious egomaniacal showoff. A deficit of praise, [...]

Is Jennifer Rubin’s Unrequited Affection For Dan Riehl Giving Way To An Ace of Spades Fixation?

by Smitty Dan Riehl has just never been a productive social outlet for Jennifer Rubin, tempting comparison with Stacy McCain’s efforts in the direction of a certain activist who will remain unmaimed by this post. But are the tides turning? Can enough spectacularly bad feedback do for Jennifer Rubin what polls cannot for #OccupyResoluteDesk, i.e., [...]
