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.

He was promising he would have a plan. That’s odd, isn’t it? All Obama knows about economics is what his neo-Keynesian advisers tell him about the glorious benefits […]

Give An Over-Reaching Government A Sales Tax: What Could Go Wrong?

by Smitty Ace toys with the notion of a national sales tax. Let’s put it like this. Once upon a time, a certain uncle had too much crap. He had houses, boats, cars, furniture, businesses, sweethearts, the works. Managing all the crap was a significant burden, with all of the insurance, maintenance, travel time, licensing, […]

How Cute Is This Video?

It’s cute enough to gain AOSHQ contributor R.D. Brewer admission to the prestigious “ReTweeted by Alyssa Milano” Club: Alyssa is a connoisseur of cute videos, so as soon as R.D. posted this in Ace of Spades HQ Headlines, I knew she was gonna love this: You gotta admit: That’s a minute and 28 seconds of […]
