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.

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.

Holiday Break: I've had a rough couple of weeks -- the shoulder is healing now and I'm finally getting decent sleep -- and I've decided to take a long weekend.
I'm taking Friday off, and then Monday off, too.
I have Open Threads for both days and I will post if big news breaks, but if it doesn't -- and it probably won't, news is slow before a holiday weekend -- I'm going to take a four day weekend.

Sh0eOnHead discusses the Psychotic Cult of Lindsay
Real quotes:
"This case has me feeling like I'm on Law & Order with you guys!"
"We literally binge true crime as a hobby, we've been trained for this moment"
Worth the watch. If you haven't seen the genuinely upsetting insanity motivating thousands of women, you should watch this just to see how society is crumbling.
Ban TikTok, Trump. I don't care if Barron tells you it's popular with the yutes. It is an evil Communist China op and it is driving women insane.

Dolly Parton tells the story of the supposedly real-life Jolene
As Andrew Branca says, can we see this Jolene, finally? Who was this hottie that was a genuine sexual threat to Dolly Parton?
I think this is Fake News personally. When a magician claims he learned a trick from a Himalayan wise man, I don't believe him either.

Breaking news: Dolly Parton had a real pair of 38s
Or at least one. She carried it everywhere for protection.

Dolly Parton is badgered into saying something negative about Trump's bus-board locker-room talk, but refuses to bow to the media pressure, telling the twink agitator she learned long ago to "keep your damned mouth shut"
What I'm appreciating is that while her surface is soft and sweet, she's got some actual steel a centimeter underneath.

1977 interview shows that Barbara Walters has always been a seaward and Dolly Parton always had "country class"
Walters actually asks Dolly Parton if she knows that people think she's a joke. This because Walters can't get over the fact that a show-woman has 1, big breasts, and 2, dresses a bit outrageously because, get this, she's an entertainer. A stage performer. You know, someone people pay money to see live and expect them to put on a show.
She never would attack Liberace for wearing glitter-tuxedos. But she's mad that Dolly Parton makes Barbara Walters look bad through association (by being a woman). Babs, you wish people associated the two of you. Believe me, we can tell the difference.
