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.

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?

Posted by: Carin on October 13, 2004 03:30 PM

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.

As Kash Patel takes over as FBI head, unpardoned election-rigger Peter Strzok deletes his entire twitter history
My speculation: what he's really deleting are his DMs, which probably feature a fair few Deep State operatives coordinating with him. Don't worry, Elon Musk will resurrect those DMs.

More fraudulent journalism at CBS: 60 Minutes interviewed two people who lost their jobs as a result of DOGE overhauling USAID. Kristina Drye & Adam Dubard emoted on behalf of thousands of USAID employees who have been terminated, but neither Kristina nor Adam was actually an employee of USAID. Clever word parsing and dishonest editing conveyed otherwise. [Buck]

Her "question" -- her declaration thinly disguised as a question -- is that Russia could just withdraw its troops from Ukraine, so why do we need peace negotiations? Well, Genius, because armies that are winning do not just walk away without getting the losing army to give them something. It's so f***ing stupid. I think they're all autistic.

JOE ROGAN: "People are worried that Elon is going to steal everyone's money. He has $400B. Elon's not going to steal your money. That's not what he's doing. He's a super genius that has been f**ked with. When you've been f**ked with by these nitwits that hide behind 3-letter agencies, and you're dealing with one of the smartest people alive helping Donald Trump get into office and find out what corruption is really going on, you f**ked up.

You f**ked up and picked the wrong psychopath on the spectrum. He's going to hunt you down and find out what's going on, and that's good for everybody. That's how you should be looking at this, like 'Wow, we have a brilliant mind examining these really corrupt and goofy systems and bringing in a bunch of psychopath wizards."
