Ace Gets Results! ... DamnitInstapundit, I will personally give up any and all future Instalinks if you please, please, please stop paying undue attention -- and giving undue rewards -- to this talentless, nasty hack. I wouldn't mind so much being Insta-ignored were it not for the fact that you shower so much Insta-love on people who clearly are beneath you. ... Well, I got results! On the one hand, Instapundit has taken my wise advice, and apparently stopped linking Filet-O-Fish, even when he references him and argues with him multiple times in a single post. On the other hand: He's apparently taken me up on that offer of giving up any and all of my potential future Instalanches. Don't think I've had one since I gave him that good advice. Ehhh... it's win-lose. More win, though. I'd rather see Oliver Willis lose traffic than gain it myself.
Related: The Oliver Willis SAT's. There's a reference there that needs explaining-- shortly before I wrote that, Oliver Willis, get this, attacked Michelle Malkin on her looks. I'll let that sink in for a moment. At any rate, that's the reference that the question about insulting a woman's looks relies upon. I Take My Petty Victories Where I Find Them Update: Thanks to Matt and Senator Pundit for pointing this out: search on Google for Oliver Willis. Check out the #2 hit. And the title of the post. Google doesn't lie. posted by Ace at 06:25 PM
CommentsYou gotta love the fact that when you search for "oliver willis" on google, you get Ace of Spades as the #2 result. Posted by: Matt on January 11, 2005 08:05 PM
I owe a THANK YOU to Ace of Spades for the link, yesterday, of Moonves statement! I only saw it today, or I would have of course included a big thank you to AofS in my update! :-) Thank you. Posted by: TheAnchoress on January 11, 2005 08:06 PM
Even funnier about the google hit, is that when you do the google search for "oliver willis" it turns up that Ace's #2 position is for a post entitled "Oliver Willis You Are Now Officially My Bitch". Poetic Justice? Posted by: senator philabuster on January 11, 2005 08:08 PM
Thanks, Anchoress. I'm a little insecure sometimes. Like, when La Shawn Barber did her Town Hall article on smaller bloggers that contributed to Rathergate, she didn't mention me. I know I'm not big enough to be mentioned by the media, but sometimes it's a little slap in the face when other bloggers won't/don't mention me. Not from you. I just mean generally. And so sometimes I bitch about the lack of mention. Hey-- I'm not huge, but I'm also not insignificant. Posted by: ace on January 11, 2005 08:24 PM
Senator, That's great! Thanks! Posted by: ace on January 11, 2005 08:25 PM
Oh-- and thanks Matt, too, for finding it first. Posted by: ace on January 11, 2005 08:25 PM
Ace, You had Instanpundit at douchebag. No one and I mean NO ONE uses douchebag as gratuitiously as you. For that you should be proud. PROUD....like a viking. Posted by: midaz on January 11, 2005 08:42 PM
Which reminds me. You never did say if you liked your prize or not. Posted by: Donnah on January 11, 2005 09:01 PM
Can you find the original post from Fatboy about Michelle "You-make-my-nipples-hard" Malkin and link to it? Posted by: CraigC on January 11, 2005 09:30 PM
Oh, that made me laugh out loud and wake up my wife. I'm glad he's officially your bitch... But make sure you get some quality bitches, dude. Posted by: Stephen W. Stanton on January 11, 2005 11:06 PM
You are now LINKED by the Instagod. It's official! But you'll have to scroll way down to find it. Posted by: max on January 11, 2005 11:06 PM
Donnah, Of course I didn't like it. But if I won it, so be it. Still blog-friends. Posted by: ace on January 11, 2005 11:50 PM
Hey Ace, Aren't you too big to be a "small blog" wrt that article? Ditto the Moon God. Linking this post is funny, but Reynolds should have credited you on the "December surplus" story too. Ah well. Posted by: someone on January 12, 2005 02:49 AM
Who's this Moon God I keep hearing about? Reading previous posts, I saw someone comment that I was about to pass the Moon God. Never heard of him! I don't know if I'm too big to be a small blog. 6000 hits isn't really big. Top fifty, top sixty. I was just annoyed at the lack of mention from LaShawn Barber. The thing is, you don't want to kiss ass as a blogger, but you sorta need to. Had I added her to the blogroll a long time ago, as I actually intended to, I think I'd've made her column. And Instapundit, as I've complained, keeps linking my crap on other people's sites. The last time he did this was when I found Dan Rather talking about the "blogging machine" acting under white house orders. Roger Simon quoted my post and linked me. I sent an email to Insta, tipping him, and so what's he do? He links Roger Simon's post, which really didn't add anything more to my find. So I'm like-- wtf? What kind of a douche-maneuver is that? He also did that with the Bill Burkett piece, linking to Just One Minute (quoting me) rather than me, but in that case I think he was trying to keep his distance from a libel suit, although I didn't think the piece was libelous. Still, that Roger Simon deal annoyed me. I made the catch, I gave him the tip, I transcribed it-- so he links to Roger Simon, just quoting my post. Posted by: ace on January 12, 2005 02:55 AM
Ace: Have you done anything to piss him off? Not insinuating, just asking. It's human nature to only remember the good things we do for people as opposed to the things we do that piss them off. Posted by: julie on January 12, 2005 03:56 AM
Ace, you magnificent linkslut! Posted by: barbula on January 12, 2005 07:35 AM
Qoute: You had Instanpundit at douchebag. No one and I mean NO ONE uses douchebag as gratuitiously as you. For that you should be proud. PROUD....like a viking. Posted by midaz at January 11, 2005 08:42 PM " A douchebag calling others "douchebag." So clever. Ace, maybe if you keep whining about things you will get your way. Your whine-o-blog is really starting to get results. Pretty soon you'll see Dan Rather off the air, a direct cause of your whine-fest. Maybe now Michael Moore will choke on his twinkies so you can celebrate his demise as well. Posted by: Ryan on January 12, 2005 09:56 AM
Hang in there Ace! You're my favorite blogger, not the least of which is because you are prolific and post on a variety of items of interest. Something for everybody, sort of. I am sure more people will be finding you every day, very soon. and....Oliver who, now? Posted by: lauraw on January 12, 2005 10:37 AM
Say, Ryan, if you dislike the "whining" around here so much, you're free to leave at any time. And by the way, your own whining is getting old. Posted by: zetetic on January 12, 2005 10:42 AM
Hey Ace, I only have you and Wizbang in favorites. I put Allahpundit in my favorites but now his out for obvious reasons. You're the first site I go to when I'm online. Let Insta know that the only time I ever go to his site is because I'm guided there by you. I don't care what anyone says, you're the SH**! Posted by: Caroline on January 12, 2005 12:28 PM
Ace, "Moon God" = Allah Posted by: someone on January 12, 2005 02:14 PM

Ryan, why don't you set up your own blog so you can annoy people elsewhere? Posted by: ace on January 12, 2005 02:22 PM
I don't have enough time in my day to run a blog. But fortunately I do have just enough time to annoy you. Posted by: Ryan on January 12, 2005 02:36 PM
...Oliver Willis, get this, attacked Michelle Malkin on her looks.
