Joe Miller Didn’t Give Me Bloggola

Six weeks ago, I reported about Joe Miller’s Senate campaign in Alaska, and yesterday Ace of Spades endorsed Miller. Thanks to the Daily Caller, Ace now finds it necessary to point out that he didn’t do it for money: I got annoyed when the Tea Party Express kept asking me to promote Joe Miller. I know they […]

One Wonders If Salon Is Beamed From Another Planet

by Smitty Elon James White, “Defending Park51, attacking Dr. Laura“: The common thread between condemning Dr. Laura and defending Park51 is the idea that the persecuted should be protected. Dr. Laura, in my opinion, should release a record of gangsta rap covers, so that she can use the word which sorts between ‘bigger’ and ‘rigger’ […]

Ace Is Absolutely Killing

When he’s on, he’s really on: It would never even occur to me, or any decent person, to erect a Museum of American Achievements in Aviation in Hiroshima. And here he makes an analogy so brilliant I’m ashamed I didn’t think of it myself. Having been endlessly lectured by our enlightened betters about the need to be […]

Ground Zero Mosque As An Election Issue

by Smitty (h/t Libertarian Republican) John Gomez floats the obvious question: He has Sarah Palin’s endorsement. I’m all for seeing ecumenical centers at all sorts of hallowed sites, like Mecca, Medina, and Ground Zero. Because if ‘tolerance’ and ‘sensitivity’ are not omni-directional, then they may just be cheap talking points proffered by the nefarious. On […]

Top Ten Reasons David Letterman’s Ratings Suck on the Forest Moon of Endor

“Broken-Down Old Man Perving on Zooey Deschanel” really seems to bother Ace of Spades. 

VIDEO: Yosemite Bear Sings!

Well, in the same sense that modern pop stars “sing,” anyway — with the assistance of digital special effects. Once again, I’ve poached this from the headlines at Ace of Spades HQ: PREVIOUSLY: ‘I’ll Have What He’s Having’

The W-Word: Fringe Journalism Is Fun!

Yes, the W is for “Weigel,” which term seems to have become as offensive (or boring) to some readers as “epistemic closure” or even “Elena Kagan Sex Tape” — the latter being a sort of satire of Rule 5, for which Marty Eisenstadt disclaims any responsibility. Summer is a great time for blog-fights because traffic always goes down during the summer anyway, […]

Ace of Spades Smacks Charles Johnson in a Post Every New* Blogger Should Read

* And by “new,” I mean if you haven’t been at it since Ace started with a Blogspot site in 2003. When trying to explain the principle of reciprocal linkage (Rule 2), I’ve often wanted to quote a post Ace of Spades wrote about three years ago, in which he explained how you link somebody so as […]
