Effin' Awesome

Here I am reading a typically superb Hugh Hewitt run-down of all the day's interesting news when I come across this:

For some great comic relief and genuine insight into the blogosphere, check out RightWingNews' symposium on the blogosphere, featuring superstars of the center-right Ace of Spades, A Small Victory, IMAO, and INDC Journal.

Superstars of the center-right.

Well, if Hugh Hewitt says so...

Sorry. I never promised you that I wouldn't engage in shameless self-promotion.

Update: Sobek finds it a little depressing that he got a one-day spike in traffic and is now desperate for that spike again.

I hear ya, brother. My traffic's okay, but it's down by nine thousand unique hits per day from what it was during Rathergate. Blogging is sort of like a relationship-- it can only go forward. When it starts going backwards, it gets to be unfulfilling. I love writing for people, but I loved writing for tens of thousands of people even more.

Blogging is like sex in that regard too: Hey, I'm just looking for numbers. I'll happily sacrifice some quality for a lot of quantity.

Dave from Garfield Ridge is also chasing the next big wave of hits, and he thinks he's found his niche: Documenting the "Ape-Threat" that our so-called "government" won't do anything about.

It's about time someone had the guts to say "Get your goddamned hands off me you damned dirty ape."

Take the Kudos and run! Hugh never acknowledged my blog, and I used to be one of his regulars on KFI.

No, you never disclaimed shameless self-promotion. No need to.

Congrats, Ace.

(I also compliment your evident self restraint: no cowbell.)

Ace, I can only offer myself as a QUALITY reader - I'm sure, though, I'm worth 10 or 20 lesser readers ... does it help that I check in SEVERAL times a day?

Ace--

Don't kid yourself. If the Apes ever got the chance, they'd kill you and everyone you care about.

COURAGE.

Dave

Dave, you must be a grade A moron to swallow that tripe. Sounds like someone flunked out of Bovine University.

Posted by: Sobek on October 13, 2004 04:08 PM

How do you spell Ace? I-N-T-E-G-R-I-T-Y that's how.

Ace--

Inspired by your devotion to the fight against the ape, I have posted a major concern in the GWOG (the Global War on Gorillas)

http://garfieldridge.blogspot.com/2004/10/fear-ape.html

And Sobek, one creature invariably eats another creature to survive. That's what the scienticians tell me.

Cheers,
Dave

Dude, this may be too old and too late and I didn't read the other comments, but... you have to write only for your own pleasure. Otherwise you'll end up unhappy. It's nice to have an audience, yes, but ultimately you must please yourself without worrying about what anyone else thinks.

"The Tears of CBS:" Norah O'Donnell and other CBS communist propaganda ministers have the sads on election night
Incredibly, during the night, and probably for the first time ever, Norah O'Donnell admits, starting around 4:00, that maybe Biden shouldn't have cancelled all of the Trump executive orders "that really locked down the border." Seriously -- has anyone on CBS ever even allowed that possibility, except after it was clear Trump had won?

CJN podcast 1400 copy.jpg
CBD and Sefton discuss President Trump's cabinet picks, including the all-important "Bikini Measure." And the continuing pogroms in Europe, driven by uncontrolled and massive Muslim immigration, and aided by Europe's traditional Jew-Hate.
Written by Ben Meiselas:

"Chuck Todd wrote the most idiotic thing I've read today, and it perfectly encapsulates the problem with corporate media. It's also a confession. He wrote, "These confirmation hearings may just save cable TV for the short term."

You see, people like Chuck Todd and their corporate benefactors are losing relevance. Americans are sick and tired of their lazy reporting, blatant lies, "both sides" equivocations, and outright cheerleading for fascism. By ignoring the most obvious lessons of history, corporate media rooted for chaos, drama, torment, crime, and hardship, believing idiocracy and fascism would be good for ratings.

Well, here it is, Chuck Todd. And no one cares about you or your network. In fact, we hold you responsible for forcing this circus upon us.

If Senate confirmation hearings take place at all, we, the people, are not watching them on your network, Chuck."

Trump announces RFKJr. for HHS (via the NY Post):
"For too long, Americans have been crushed by the industrial food complex and drug companies who have engaged in deception, misinformation, and disinformation when it comes to Public Health," Trump wrote in his announcement, making rare use of his X account to broadcast a cabinet pick.

"The Safety and Health of all Americans is the most important role of any Administration, and HHS will play a big role in helping ensure that everybody will be protected from harmful chemicals, pollutants, pesticides, pharmaceutical products, and food additives that have contributed to the overwhelming Health Crisis in this Country. Mr. Kennedy will restore these Agencies to the traditions of Gold Standard Scientific Research, and beacons of Transparency, to end the Chronic Disease epidemic, and to Make America Great and Healthy Again!"
