This Weekend: A Very Special Episode of Ace of Spades HQ

Ace of Spades, Teenager in Turmoil, learns his best friend is addicted to speed. He must decide to keep the secret, or tell his friend's parents. Special Guest Appearances by Tony Danza, Meredith Baxter-Birney, and former Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders.

My own blogging will be light this weekend -- I have a major pain-in-my-ass commitment, though I'll try to get on the damn hotel computer and do some posting -- but I'm proud to announce the site's first guest host.

Is "proud" the right word, really? I don't think so. Overstates it by at least 80%. Let's just say I'm required to announce the site's first guest host.

I had actually hoped to get someone you might have sorta-mighta heard of to guest-blog this weekend, but the best I could come up with was Hoke Malokey.

Hoke is a smart analyst and damn funny too. He's funny in that dry, erudite witty manner -- you know, pussy-shit. College-boy crap. While I was out there bustin'-ass on a tuna boat in the Berring Straits, Hoke was standing around at a fancy-pants university club in his pansy tweeds and spats making cutting remarks about the pate.

But seriously: he's good. He knows politics inside and out; I've learned a lot from him.

He's also technically incompetent, so if he does anything stupid, like turn the entire site upside down or set the default font to "Sanskrit Sans Serif," try to alert him to that.

Be nice to him, but not too nice to him. I don't want to see anything even close to "You're much better than Ace; why don't you start your own blog?" I'm not going to get on Paula Zahn with that kind of crap being posted on my site.

If you need to contact him, either about a tip or about how badly he's screwed up the coding for the site, drop him a line at hokemalokey-AT-yahoo.com (replace the "-AT-" with @).

Anyway, assuming Hoke doesn't completely nuke the Munuvia software, I'll see you sporadically over the weekend, and then again Sunday night.

Playing the Expectations Game: Incidentally, Hoke Malokey is coming off the bench cold. This is all very last-minute, and he hasn't had time to prepare or anything like that. So, while I imagine he'll have interesting stuff to say, it will be all off-the-cuff and posted on borrowed time.

Wow...Hoke Malokey! I've herad great things about him. There should be a noticable improvement in this site in Ace's absence.........

Is that Hoke as in "poke" or as in "Hok-EE"?

Hok-EE rhymes better.

Posted by: George on October 1, 2004 05:16 PM

I believe it's "Hok-EE."

Senator,

See? There you go. Just as I feared.

I'm just grumpy 'cause I was hoping that Johnny Coldcuts was gonna take over....

Posted by: Senator PhilABuster on October 1, 2004 05:49 PM

Senator,

Alas, I think that Johnny Coldcuts was much like the Chris Elliot character "The Guy Under the Stairs" on the Letterman show.

Funny for a while, and then forgotten.

Sorry.

Wow that Hoke Malokey is a much better writer than Ace. He should get his own blog. What that? He hasn't started yet? I stand by my words.

I'm still holding out for Rich "Psycho" Giamboni.

Posted by: John on October 1, 2004 06:25 PM

So let me get this straight.....you threaten to kill off Johnny Coldcuts in order to solicit pledges/donations to save his life...then you write him off (pun intended) anyway?

What next? Are you gonna be selling Bush memos to CBS? Or maybe utilizing some of that expensive Andrew Sullivan bandwidth while blogging from P-town?

It's all a fraud! I'm gonna rally the pajamahadeen and unleash the full fury of the blogosphere on you.

Or not. I'm hungry, and there's a good ballgame coming on. Maybe later.

I have reasons to believe that this post is a forgery.

There is no Berring Sea, there is a Bering Sea. However, Tuna are not fished in the Bering Sea.

What have you done with Ace?!

Information about the sample has been removed from the July 18, 2026, update below. FDA has notified Taylor Farms and continues working with the firm to ensure product implicated in this outbreak has been removed from the market.

In response to someone asking why the video tape doesn't show Tyler Robinson's face (PS, it does, but it's crappy video so it's blurry): Candace Owens @RealCandaceO Because as I demonstrated on my show, there were MANY young men that all woke up and decided to dress in Maroon shirts and light shorts on the day of the Charlie's assassination. The footage can be any one of these young men and in my opinion is likely multiple of them. If Tyler Robinson's defense would like to contact me-- I'd be happy to supply them the folder of the maroon boys that I began archiving when I noticed the bizarre fashion trend. I have thus far ID'd two of them, but will focus on IDing the rest of them when I am back on air. I have maintained that the Feds had multiple decoy maroon boys on the ground that day. Without a clear image, they certainly cannot declare it is Tyler Robinson which is why all the Zionist influencers are hoping they can simply hypnotize the public into trusting blurry images and videos. For such an "open and shut case" they have thus far provided ZERO evidence of anything outside of a criminal government conspiracy, the likes of which hasn't been seen since the JFK assassination.
