Ace on ‘Context’

The thuggery against Tabitha Hale compels him: The media slips an awful lot past the public with the word “context.” They frequently claim they don’t carry stories like this because the “context” doesn’t support making it worthy of mention. . . . 1. We don’t have to patrol the left for violence because the left […]

What Ace Said

A post he did five days ago just got a huge “Heh” yesterday, and perhaps you see why: On the other hand, goddamn if I am not weary of a barbaric desert nomad culture of rape and outrage while carrying around a ton of chip-on-the-shoulder arrogance-hiding-profound-insecurity about it all. Oh right, a thousand years ago they […]

Coolest Nature Video Evah!

Completely ripped off from Ace of Spades HQ: I’d feel guilty about ripping off that video, except (a) it was posted there seven hours ago, which means about 35,000 people have seen it already, so it’s not like I’m depriving them of traffic, and (b) let’s face it, at least 90% of my shtick is […]

Dreams of a Government Shutdown?

Republicans in the House have been pulling long hours to enact a continuing resolution that would extend funding for the rest of the fiscal year. And if they fail to get it passed before the current continuing resolution runs out, they plan to pass a stopgap short-term measure to prevent a government shutdown. Meanwhile, it […]

Ace? Is That You?

OK, so I was watching the “Academic Vagina” video I posted earlier, and then I noticed another video from the same site. Watch it: See more funny videos and funny pictures at CollegeHumor. Did you see the guy at the 35-second mark, playing Tekken in class? If that’s not Ace of Spades, it’s his twin […]

We Need to Tone Down the Rhetoric

Otherwise, all this extremist talk about “choice” and “women’s rights” might lead to mass murder:  A massacre perpetrated by a deranged man is not about the deranged man; it’s about “rhetoric.” But a massacre perpetrated by an abortion provider whose violations against laws of the nation and of humanity were overlooked for years is “not […]

Feminism Is to Honest Debate What Kermit Gosnell Is to Humanitarianism

Which is to say, its antithesis: I think we’re all pretty well agreed that if the charges against Kermit Gosnell are true, then dude is a criminal and needs to go to jail. Killing a baby after it’s born and has taken breaths? Is not abortion. It should be, and is, a crime punishable by […]

‘The Most Bald-Faced Lie I Have Ever Read in the New York Times’

“And that’s saying something,” says Ann Coulter: [T]hat paper implied Loughner is a pro-life zealot. This is the precise opposite of the truth. . . . ABC News reported: “One Pima Community College student, who had a poetry class with Loughner later in his college career, said he would often act ‘wildly inappropriate.’ “‘One day […]
