The Funniest Thing I Have Ever ReadHoke Malokey (like, Bob Dole, this is how I refer to myself) just read "Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim" by David Sedaris and makes the following offer to all of Ace's acolytes. Buy the book. Read the chapter about Sedaris' brother ("Rooster at the Hitchin' Post"). If it is not the funniest thing you've ever read, Ace will refund the purchase. posted by Ace at 10:47 AM
CommentsI dunno. P.J.O'Rourke has had me on the floor gasping for breath on several occasions. Posted by: Raoul Ortega on October 2, 2004 02:15 PM
David is the GAY MULLET! Snide Quear Humor, How Droll. Amy is much funnier! Posted by: j on October 2, 2004 02:53 PM
Ace, you can find more about the Rooster in Barrel Fever, one of Sedaris's earlier books. I'd also point out that as funny as Sedaris's books are, the audio books are possibly even funnier. Having listened to these, I almost can't bring myself to just read the books anymore. Speaking of the Rooster, be sure to check out http://www.sedarishardwoodfloors.com/ which is the website for the Rooster's flooring company and http://www.youcantkilltherooster.com/ where you can get official Rooster T-Shirts.

PJ O'Rourke had me on the floor gasping for breath too, but that's when we were dating. Ba-dump. Posted by: Hoke Malokey on October 2, 2004 04:39 PM
Sorry about that loose shit. The other Rooster material is in "Me Talk Pretty One Day," not "Barrel Fever." Though I'd reccomend both, I figured I ought to correct the record before I make a maniac out of David Sedaris. Posted by: Publius on October 2, 2004 04:45 PM
I've read that book - and that chapter is great! Have you read his other books - i.e. Naked, Me Talk Pretty Some Day? I recommend all of them - I've laughed out loud at ALL of them. Posted by: Isobella on October 2, 2004 10:53 PM
Sedaris rocks. Who else writes a story about finding a turd in the toilet at a party, and CONTEMPLATING what to do with it? Plus, David Sedaris' books are the only books my wife has ever read. They're like Tivo and Seinfeld for her...every viewing is a new viewing, and every reading is a new reading. As long as he cranks one out every couple of years, I'm good to go.

[A]n asshole is somebody who looks at a painting of two toddlers doing something totally normal for toddlers and decides that it represents homosexuality and then thinks that publicly saying that is somehow edgy and clever. Instead it is doing what we accuse the Left of, that is sexualizing young children. If that describes you, own it.Muldoon
Update: Reports say The Warthog has been deployed against men
Thanks to fd. Yeah, thanks a bunch, Chief.
Reports: The A-10 Thunderbolt, better known as The Warthog, has been unleashed on Iran
It's a heavily armored (the pilot sits in a titanim bathtub) slow-and-low loitering plane with a massive minigun firing depleted uranium rounds. The capability it brings is the ability to just fly big circles over the country waiting for a target to present itself. This is a weapons platform for eliminating vehicles and personnel. Its first task might be strafing the seas, clearing out any remaining attack boats and minelayers.
Update: My ballpark estimate for a reasonable cost for a wildlife overpass (suitably padded to sate the thirst of Democrat grifters) was $15 million. Turns out, that was a good estimate. That's how much it cost Denver to build one.
Some people liked Candace Owens because she was a black woman who told hard truths about BLM and black criminality. But this was always a grift. She started out as a race hustler for a grift, then hustled race the other way to grift conservatives, and now she's back to being a race-hustler for the left again. Specifically, she is now claiming that people pointing out that she is legitimately low-IQ and can't pronounce half the words her AI-generated teleprompter script points out to her is racist and just Ben Shapiro's way of saying the n-word without quite saying it. You see, you can only say that black people are smart, and if you see a dumb one that doesn't know how to pronounce simple words while she poses as an investigatory journalist, you have to pretend she's actually smart or you're a racist. Weird, that doesn't sound very conservative, let alone "#Based," to me. To prove how much she hates racism, she then says that Ben Shapiro's Jew ancestors were masters of the slave trade.

Ami Kozak: Every single Tucker Carlson episode consists of him claiming he didn't say the things he said in the last episode
Also: this is the manipulation Tucker does that i hate the most. It's so cowardly. All he does is smear people (and Jews, generally), and then claim "I have nothing against [the person or group I just smeared.]" He'll even claim "I love [x], actually." Just again and again and again. It's all a lie, of course. A year ago he smeared Jews but added how beautiful he thought Israel was, and then two weeks ago, he said Israel is ugly as dog-shit and nothing beautiful has been built there "since 1948." Just got this email from Dracula: "I love Van Helsing, actually, he's one of my personal heroes, if I'm being honest. I will claw the heart out of his belly and bathe in his blood before the children of Babylon, but I have nothing but respect for Van Helsing, actually. Love is the answer. Except for the followers of the Christ whom I am commanded to turn into my dark army of Satan. And I totally don't worship Satan, I just think we should listen to both sides. Hugs and kisses, may Van Helsing burn in the blood-red fires of hell throughout eternity, even though I consider him a close and dear friend, Vlad called Dracul."
