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."

As I think on it Hawkins and Allah is duh man. Your more like duh third man. No! Wait! Ok its Lileks, Hawkins, Allah then you. Unless RTG posts something good today then you would be behind her.

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

Posted by: PCD on October 13, 2004 03:04 PM

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.

Note to the president: At some point, allowing the Regime to remain in power without actually forcing them to give up nukes is just a back-door, unacknowledged renewal of the Obama policy.

This was her actual complaint. The mushed-up tomato looked like blood so it's a death threat and these violent attacks on me must stop. What is dis bitch, CNN?

Funniest thing I've read about the Virginia mess. Back when they were hustling the referendum through the assembly both Senators, Warner and Kaine, advised them to go slow and play by the rules. Louise Lucas said she respected them but didn't need advice from the "cuck chair" in the corner. The gerrymandering was overturned and Louise is heading for the big house. Edward G. Robinson voice "where's your cuck now?"

"It's f**king f**ked."
-- reportedly a genuine comment offered by a "senior Labour source"
Correction: I wrote that Labour is losing 88% (now 87%) of the seats it is "defending." I think that's wrong. The right way to say it is the seats they are contesting -- that is, they don't necessarily already hold these seats, but they have put up a candidate to run for the seat. It's still very bad but not as bad as losing 87% of the seats they already held.

🚨ED MILIBAND [a Minister in Starmer's government] SAYS KEIR STARMER WILL RESIGN AS PRIME MINISTER

He has reportedly reassured Labour MP's that Starmer will be resigning following the disastrous results tonight

It's over
"The end of the two party system in the UK" as first the Fake Conservatives and now Labour chooses political suicide rather than simply STOPPING THE INVASION
Incidentally, the only reason this didn't already happen in the US is because of the Very Bad Orange Man (who is right on 85% of all policy calls and extremely, existentially right on 15% of them)
No political party that is NOT also a doomsday religious cult would EVER choose a cataclysmic loss -- and possible extinction as a party -- to support a toxically unpopular favoritism of NON-CITIZEN ILLEGAL MIGRANTS over actual citizen voters.

Only a cult does this.
