I didn't even deserve the mention in the Sun. Suddenly, I have survivor's guilt.

Uh, Ace, you want to close those italics at some point?

New York Times? New York Sun? O'Reilly? Forget those losers, Ace - you're on MY blogroll! Do you realize what people pay just for a SHOT at that?

Let me stress that whatever else may come out of all this, Mr. Paul Anka remains the only important one on that stage.

Johnny,

Um... You have a good blog, but I'm looking for some paper.

That's going to be my new blog-coinage: gettin' a little paper.

I expect it will become just as popular as "newsjacking."

Allah,

I'm not asking to be Paul Anka. But is it too much to ask to be a Graham, a John, or even a Joe?

Do you really want to be Joe? We don't even know where he is.

Eh. I'm just kidding. Sort of. I'm getting enormous traffic (for me); hell, once Truth Laid Bear updates it's FUCKING TRAFFIC NUMBERS FOR ONE TIME THIS MONTH, I'll be in the top twenty-five blogs as far as traffic.

I'll be in the top twenty-five blogs as far as traffic.

You know, there probably aren't enough Filet-o-Fish sandwiches on earth to soften that particular blow for O-Dub.

Yeah, but does that fat tub of fat know that?

For one thing, dumb Truth Laid Bear won't update.

For another, is Captain Jollypants keeping his eye on my traffic?

The NY times needs to answer me this. Just this one question.. And Alla mabey you can help them with this one..

Where the fuck is JOE!

By the way, thanks for all your help in promoting this site. I don't know if I mentioned this, but I was just about to give up the blog entirely when you sent that email along.

I'm wondering if the munu server is going to survive until November 2. :)

Post editorial headlined, "Bad Week at Black Rock."

I've used the Bad Day at Black Rock joke twice, once as a headline.

Any mention for Ace of Spades?

Nope. They just keeping giving me the shitfinger.

I feel like Bill Burkett. There are powerful forces conspiring to deny me what I so clearly deserve, i.e., a book deal.

Pixy,

I actually wanted to ask you about that. Is it a problem?

So far it's fine, and if it were only you it wouldn't be a problem at all, but all of munu seems to be booming. Yay team!

Just don't do an LGF on me. 120,000 unique visitors a day! Their server is twice the size of ours and it's been having problems.

In times like these, Ace, I think it is important to remember the
following paraphrase from Red Forman (of 'That 70's show'):

Someday, son you, too will be married. You will see your wife
turn into that (points at loyal, menopausal wife), and then-
-...-?...--you'll die.

"But don't worry about me. I'm sitting here with my box of Val-U-Rite discount vodka and an Oliver-Willis-Sized carton of Funions."

What are Funions?

"Any mention of the Acester? Nope. Nothin'. Brit Hume gave me the shitfinger."

Hey, I've been linking to you! That and a buck will get you something off of the McDonald's Extra Value Menu.

James

Ace,

I just started reading you in the last few days. You're great. I love your humor and your "colorful" language too, but it ain't gonna get you on prime time.

Good thing, too. You wouldn't want to clean up your act, now would ya?

Shiftfinger - man, I love those guys. I have all their CDs. Too bad about the drummer.

And by the way...I've been hearing a lot of allusions around these parts to the Paul Anka tape. Permit me a little bragging, but I caught the reference right away from my real life. So let me ask you (you too, Allah)- have you heard the Hank Jr tape? The Linda McCartney? The Buddy Rich? How about the Casey Casem? Oh there's more, my friends. Much more.

Unheralded Ace
Can only take comfort in
Wonkette's cold embrace

I think Ace meant FUNYUNS

Don't get all Rathery on us, Ace!

Your time will come, Ace. Hold on, it's only been a week! Watergate was stretched out from June 72 till Nixon's resignation in August 74. Since then thousands of books have been written, and movies too. I've been sitting here, hoping your site won't crash from all the new visitors because the discussions and research we're all doing with you is important. You are part of history being made. I expect to see your name in indices of many future books. I hope you are downloading/saving all your articles with the comments since Rathergate/Kerrygate broke onto a CD or whatever you guys do. I know it's going to be a valuable part of history.

Besides, who needs to be liked or admired, anyway!

What does Ace get? Ace gets linked on every board I frequent.

What does it say about me that I keep trying to get linked - from Ace?

TO: Sailor Kenshin - yes, me too. I've been crediting Ace wherever I go too. It's been quite a job going allllll the way down to that "hot trhead" when I post elsewhere now, to pull up the great stuff here. One time I started using "Find" "Pollsters", then the comments were just above it. But darn it, then Ace used the word "pollsters" again!

On this board, So many nihilistic hipsters showing off while America burns. While kids are losing lives and body parts. While the great constitution that gave us peons a semblance of equality, is being savaged. After all the ratherizing one fact remains; Kerry was in country Bush was in cognito (or mentally in disposed). What more is there to say? Oh you hip wits will find something to muddy the swiftwaters.
