« The "Smear-Merchants" Are Going to Have a Ball With This One, O'Reilly | Main | Tough Steyn Column-- Spiked By The Telegraph (U.K.) »

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.

Important Message from Recent Convert to Christianity and Yet Super-Serious Christian Tuq'r Qarlson: Actually Muslims love Jesus, it's Trump and his neocons who hate him
Tucker Carlson Network
@TCNetwork

The people in charge [Jews, of course -- ace] don't want you to know this, but Muslims love Jesus.

Islam reveres Him as a major prophet and messenger of the Lord, believes He performed miracles, and states that He will return to Earth to defeat the Antichrist. That's why Donald Trump's painting depicting himself as the Son of God offended the president of Iran. It was an attack on his religion as well as Christianity.

Trump's trolling tweet was ill-advised, but Tucker is just lying when he claims the Christianity-hating President of Iran was "offended" by this.
He's one step away from announcing his official conversion to Islam. He literally never stops praising Islam. Well, he suddenly became Christian two years ago, there's not much stopping him from converting again.
You can track Tuq'r's official conversion to Islam with this Bingo card.

@KFILE 21m

Politico is reporting that multiple people have abruptly resigned from Eric Swalwell's gubernatorial campaign: "Members of senior leadership have departed the campaign, including Courtni Pugh, a strategic adviser who served as Swalwell's top liaison to organized labor groups."

So the campaign is collapsing due to the truth of the sexual harassment allegations.
That hissing sound you hear is the air going out of the Swalwell campaign. UPDATE: No it wasn't, it was just Swalwell one-cheek-sneaking out a fart on camera
Eric Swalwell more like Eric Farewell amirite
