The Free Press sucks ... I switched to the Detroit News years ago. On the weekends the two are mixed as one, and so on Sunday, I'm FORCED to but up with their crappy liberal writers. Blech. It's like a little New York Times in Detroit, except with less news.

You HAVE to be somebody, because you get a HECK of a lot more hits than I do....

(substitutes vodka for nice bourbon)

Ace - if it makes you feel any better, I still have you listed as one of only three "Kings Among Bloggers" on my blogroll.

yeah, that probably doesn't help.

And Carin - yeah, I agree that the Freep largely sucks, but I'll take what I can get, y'know?

Yes you are Ace. One of about 3 I make sure to hit daily. Just sayin. Of course I am unemployed and can't hit the tip jar so my support doesn't mean squat.

My long awaited list of the best humor/politics blogs.

1. Ace of Spades
2. Protein Wisdom

Protein wisdom is kind of like a Ace of Spades on acid. At my age, I don't really like dropping acid anymore. Jeff is working on some kind of spinning nipples animated gif to replace the stolen Drudge light, but it still can't compete with the cowbell.

Marc, I was trying to make Ace feel better ... no slight intended. I mean, I usually like the recipes that are printed in the Freep ... AND, they have the new Opus comic - whatever the name of it is now. On the dark side, though, they also have Doonsbury. Ying and Yang, i guess.

Ace -

But we all love you...

Carin,

Well, I was just kidding around, you know. The schtick of me being on the verge of alcoholism/suicide due to envy is just that, a schtick. I just think it's funny. Actually, I know it's funny, because it's funny when Howard Stern used to do it (I don't listen to him anymore, though, but I used to laugh at his constant complaining about his life).

I think it's just great that Marcland got himself a little paper, and I congratulate him. I hope to one day get a little paper myself.

And George,

No need to apologize! Love my readers, love everyone who takes the time to click on this stupid blog.

Money is just gravy. True, it's really fucking good gravy, but I'm all about naked political Power, anyway.

Ace:

Of course it was funny. Carin got it. We all got it. Show some confidence in us, your faithful public. Never explain. If we didn't appreciate your jokes, we wouldn't be here.

Michael

Is it just me, or does that blond Genevieve chick in the Swiffer ads have some sort of MILF-y goodness goin' on there?

OK, so it's just ne then.

Yes, Ace, you are somebody.

Allah has once again gone AWOL from the Pundit National Guard. You may, again, become his devine substitute.

Because you're good enough, smart enough and, gosh-darn it, the Creator of Worlds.

Speaking of the tip jar. I tried using paypal yesterday. Everytime I donated I got a weird page that said I wasn't logged in. After logging in five times I gave up...so...I don't know whether you got twenty or a hundred or zero?

You have one of the better blogs. First read and last read every day. As a recovering blogaholic and reading upwards of 150-200 blogs a day I think I might have an answer as to why you are so often overlooked: language. While it's nice to be able to blow off occassionally, after all it is your blog, I think that most all of the megablogs ban the use of foul language. You can take that for what it's worth or tell me to STFU. You know I've been a loyal supporter.
