MarcLand Gets a Little Paper

Longtime blogger-in-arms MarcLand just got himself a big fat mention and interview in the Detroit Free Press.

Congratulations, Marc.

In related news, Ace of Spades was just asked for his opinion "on a range of consumer issues" including "whether or not I had heard of the new Swiffer Wet-Jet, and if so, if I thought the advertising campaign showed the product in an interesting and attractive light."

So, you know-- don't think you're so great, MarcLand. I've got things happening here, too. I'm a somebody too.

(eyes go up to noose made of electrical cords dangling from pipe in basement ceiling; chugs from jug of Val-U-Rite discount vodka)

Damnit, I'm a somebody too.

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....

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?

Posted by: marc on October 28, 2004 02:28 PM

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.

Posted by: Carin on October 28, 2004 02:42 PM

Ace -

But we all love you...

Posted by: bkayel on October 28, 2004 03:05 PM

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.

Posted by: ace on October 28, 2004 03:06 PM

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.

Posted by: ace on October 28, 2004 03:07 PM

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.

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.

Posted by: David Gillies on October 28, 2004 04:07 PM

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.

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
"Teen" charged with five counts of attempted murder after attempting to run down police officers with his car in yet another "teen takeover" permitted by woke racist incompetent Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson
Johnson's response to the "teen takeovers" of streets and businesses that he refuses to make arrests to stop is to go after social media companies for not deleting messages to coordinate the "teen takeovers." Um, they're supposed to find these messages and delete them in real time?
It makes no sense but he has to offer an "alternative" plan to just arresting lawbreakers -- which he absolutely refuses to do, saying we "can't arrest our way out" of rampant crime.
Future Tucker Carlson guest James Talarico:
James Talarico
@jamestalarico

Black Americans in a church.

Mexican Americans in a store.

Asian Americans in a spa.

Radicalized white men are the greatest domestic terrorist threat in our country.

He's referring to three mass attacks committed by white men in, oh, the past six or eight years. There were a huge number of mass shootings and bombings he had to skip over to cherry pick three committed by white men. Which kind of makes me think that "white men" are not the greatest terrorist threat in our country.
No, I doubt he'll be a guest on Tucker Carlson. The only thing that Tucker clings to that he claims makes him "conservative" is a palpable hatred of gays. Any time there's a communist enslaving their population and executing dissenters and conservatives, Tucker praises that dictator by saying "at least he represses the homos!"
