Snap Polls: Either a Tie or Edge to Kerry

So says James Lindgren on the Volokh Conspiracy.

You know what pisses me the hell off? They've got like six thousand people as a part of this so-called "Volokh Conspiracy" at this point.

And did any of them, at any time, think to themselves, "Hey, you know who might like to join our conspiracy? Ace. Ace seems like a good conspirator"?

No, they did not. Never got an invite.

And yet, I'm looking at the list of the people who are part of this rather cumbersome "conspiracy." It's not an exclusive club, I can tell you that.

Tony Danza-- what the fuck is he doing in the sidebar? Now Judith Licht-- sure, Judith Licht I could maybe see. She seems well-grounded. But Tony Danza is a fuckin' moron. How does he rate above me, precisely?

And fucking Caesar Romero isn't even alive anymore. Man's been stone dead for fifteen fucking years.

Makes no goddamn sense.

And-- look at this. Beaker? Beaker from the fucking Muppet Show? Beaker can be a part of the Volokh Conspiracy, but not Ace? What the fuck did he do to earn his membership card?

Beaker's not even A-List among fuckin' puppets, for crying out loud.

But Beaker, oh yeah, Beaker, sure, he's good. Scary-talented, that fuckin' Beaker. He gets to be in the Volokh Conspiracy.

Meanwhile, I'm sitting here alone. Alone, with not a friend in the world except my huge bottle of Val-U-Rite discount vodka and my reservoir of unrelenting hatred.

Life's not fair, man. Don't kid yourself on that score.

Update: I'm tipped that the ABCNews poll also shows a deadlock, but that more Republicans watched.

Hat tip to Beaker for that. Maybe Beaker's pretty good, after all.

Ace--

Until this morning, I thought all the pollsters were mainlining high-grade smack. Bush obviously won the debate last night, and this is coming from someone who (even as a Bush voter) felt that Kerry won the last two debates.

But now, after looking at all the coverage, I think there's definitely an interesting angle to it. I'm never one to cry "liberal media" without proof, or without being drunk, but I think this may be a time where the MSM biases shine through.

Why? Well, unlike the other two debates, last night's debate touched on some very conservative issues. We got deep into tax cuts, social security reform, gay marriage, abortion, and even the role of religion. These are topics guaranteed to set off alarm bells in most liberal members of the MSM. They simply *can't* concede a Bush victory in an debate focused on these issues, because that might concede Bush was right on these issues. And that John Kerry is really part of the loopy left, no matter how many times he invokes the name of Ronald Reagan (good lord, he has NO shame, does he?)

The first two debates were dog-and-pony shows, with much of the time spent on Iraq-- a topic that's been debated in the media for *years*. The third debate actually showcased the divide between a conservative (an imperfect conservative, but one nevertheless) viewpoint, and a liberal viewpoint. Do you think the MSM is going to honestly report, "Well, gee, Kerry *is* a serious liberal, you know" when liberal is all but a dirty word in politics these days?

Nope, the spin is going to be skewed towards Kerry in this one, because the stakes are much too high to concede that Bush, and Bush's policies, are more popular with average Americans-- because average Americans trend conservative when pressed to vote on social and economic issues. The MSM wants to obscure that dividing line as much as possible, especially this late in the election cycle.

Cheers,
Dave

Dude, that's it. A line has been crossed. I can no longer read your blog during class if you're going to make me crack up like that.

Screw 'em Ace! We form our own conspiracy!
We just need a cool name like umm the Dead Democrats and a secret handshake, and...umm... hooded cloaks! YEAH! And we got a secret code "Slice like a fucking hammer!" And we got get one of those cool Dr.No type secret headquaters with the sharks and the lasers and...

Cheer up, Ace. At least you'll never be rid of Discount Viagra in your inbox. ;]

Oof. Reviewers do not like Scary Movie 6. The criticism I keep hearing is that the movie mistakes a reference for an actual joke. The movie (they say) keeps Key Jangling a reference to another movie (or some other pop culture ephemera) and you expect there to be a joke but nope, the Key Jangle was the joke. Other reviewers say that the promise that "no lines will be uncrossed" is a fake-out, and that the movie is bland and inoffensively corporate.
Whoops! I posted about Dan Goldman losing the NY congressional primary. He might do that, but it won't be tonight -- the primary isn't held until June 23.
One race to keep an eye on: the Levi's heir nepo baby and egregious "Designated Liar" Dan Goldman -- one of the Democrats from a safe district Democrats send out to spread their most indefensible lies -- may actually lose his lower Manhattan/Brooklyn set due to, get this, antisemitism in the Democrat primary electorate.
Antisemitism? In the anti-Nazi Democrat Party? Sounds crazy, I know, but apparently the anti-Nazi Party wants to eliminate Jews.

Democrat Senator Rueben Gallego, who served his wife with divorce papers when she was nine months pregnant so that he could marry his side-piece, counsels us that we should not judge Graham Platner for his infidelity because these things are personal matters, Racists:

Sahil Kapur
@sahilkapur

Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., on Platner: "We know that Graham has lived not your typical political experience. He's been very clear and open with his wife, and they worked through whatever they worked through. At the end of the day, this man has had 60 more town halls than Susan Collins has. He's winning the polls, he's willing to accept that he has grown as a person, and I think we should accept that."

Gallego says the drip-drip of revelations won't harm Platner's campaign.

"I think you guys are all in a bubble here right now. The drip, drip that's actually happening is Americans are really, really hurt the fact that gas is still high, food is still high, they can't buy a home, you can't afford rent. They're not going to care about text messages and everything else like that that happened years ago, especially when it was worked out between spouses."

I like that he says that it's okay that Graham Platner sexted 12 different women within months of marrying the woman to sponge off her because he wasn't then "living a political life" -- the clear meaning being, "We all cheat, we just don't cheat when we're running for office, and he didn't know he was running for office when he was sending dicpics to half the women he ran into."
Except he was running: His own wife turned the sexts over to his campaign.
And obviously Reuben Gallego didn't let his "political life" get in the way of his extramarital dating life:

Funny -- if you don't mind clicking on TikTok. "Amy.Pranks.22" set up an AI scam-call screener which replies to a foreign scammer trying to get her bank information with Trumpian bluster. This might be fake because I don't see how a program can respond in real time, but it's funny.

The ULA rocket just launched
Thanks to Joyenz
The rocket's enormous engines are fueled by "the volcanic heterosexual lust between James Talarico and his Neighbor With a Uterus 'girlfriend'"
I hope Amazon's rocket works better than the Amazon Prime app does as far as allowing people to watch the black and white version of "Spider-Noir"
From the CA Post:

Spencer Pratt is now Karen Bass' biggest headache.

A bombshell California Post poll conducted with McLaughlin & Associates shows the reality TV star-turned-mayoral candidate has surged to a statistical tie with the incumbent mayor.

And voters blame homelessness, affordability and the direction of Los Angeles as the reason for turning on Bass.

Pratt now leads the field with 30.1% support, compared with 29.5% for Bass, setting up a razor-thin race heading into next week's primary.

Socialist councilwoman Nithya Raman sits in third place at 23.4%.

Thanks to beckster
Just like "Spartacus" Corey Booker, now that James Talarico is running for a higher office, he unveils his previously-unknown "girlfriend" and hooboy, it just so happens she used to work for him, and, get this, likes to "dance the night away" at gay bars
Gee I wonder where they might have met
Oh and she's a vegan
When Corey Booker needed a "girlfriend," he conjured up known LGBTQ activist Rosario Dawson. How convenient that when these guys need a girlfriend to show off to the normies that just happen to find an activist with a strong history of and interest in Supporting Gay Men
But seriously, this James Talarico romance with a Neighbor with a Uterus is a love story for the ages. The passion of their lovemaking is hotter than a blue star with a core of Primordial Sex Atoms created in the Big Bang
And just like that, #PunchANazi became Punch a Ballot for a Nazi
