Face It: Ace is Gone (WuzzaDem AND The Unpopulist)

I think it's time to face reality. Ace is at Sundance. Do you really think he's going to come back here? Oh, no, not Mr. Hollywood. Why would he want to hang out with losers like us? He's probably somewhere having a drink with Chris Matthews and Robert Redford right now.

Matthews
So you really like the show, huh?

Ace
Oh, absolutely, Chris, I love Hardball. You ask the most insightful questions.

Matthews
Really, like what?

Ace
Oh, uh, well there's, uh, that time you, uh, boy, there's just so many, it's hard to say.

Redford
So, did you see that inaugural? Can you believe those Republicans? Just turns your stomach, doesn't it, Ace?

Ace
Republicans? Yeah, well, you know, don't get me started on those guys or we'll be here all night. So Bob, like I was saying, I have this script...

Redford
So who did you vote for?

Ace
Vote? For? Me?

Redford
You seem like a reasonable guy, are you a Kucinich man or did you go with Nader?

Ace
Yeah, uh, so anyway, about that script...

Redford
You didn't vote for Kerry, did you? The guy authorized an illegal war!

Ace
No, no. I definitely did not vote for Kerry.

Redford
Good man.

Can you believe that sell-out? I'm really disappointed in him.

ctd.

Olbermann
You know Kerry could have won that thing if...

Redford
Yeah.

Olbermann
...if fraternity boy hadn't altered the laws of arithmetic...

Matthews
I've heard that.

Olbermann
...if those mouth-breathers in Ohio weren't such trusting chattel...

Redford
Exactly.

Matthews
Exactly.

Olbermann
...if he'd just fought a little harder after the first counts were in...

Matthews
Yep.

Olbermann
...if he'd pressed a little harder on the Constitution...

Redford
Living document.

Olbermann
...if he just coulda' hung in there...

Ace
Or if more people had voted for him--

Olbermann

Matthews

Redford

Ace

Redford
Pardon me?

Ace
Shit.

Ace is a slut-we all know that. First it was offers of hand-jobs for Instalanches-now its hitting up Redford for the role of Hal Holbrooks character in the remake of"All the Presidents Men'.

Holy cow. No offense, guys, but Ace should've put in a per-day posting cap before turning over the keys. There are literally too many posts for me to read the blog at this point.

But this one's funny.

For Ace's sake, I hope the script sells, because the quality of posting here has gone up :)

I pictured Ace REALLY selling out-I mean donning a Fahrenheit 9/11 t-shirt with a big picture of goofy grinning Michael Moore on the back, maybe some socks & Birks, and one of those Blue state bracelets that put Armstrong to shame. I mean if you're going to sell a script, you've gotta sell your soul. And hell-o-Ace's Skankathon for cheap hits and linkwhorage, modeled after Washingtonienne's own run? He's a sheep and I'm sure he's bah-ing at Sundance now *grin*

Yes it has, waaaaaay up! And I thought ACE had a good site. Wonder what is to become of ACE after his readers all migrate to better sites?

Whoa - Jordan takes a mediocre post and makes it freakin' hilarious. I bow before the Unpopulist!

Posted by: John from WuzzaDem on January 26, 2005 12:08 PM

Freaking hysterical.

Posted by: Scout on January 26, 2005 12:08 PM

ace is the man ya ingrates. He brings the funny of any 5 mortal bloggers.

Posted by: a-a on January 26, 2005 12:30 PM

Dat you ACE? Whoddat who say who'dere?

Posted by: 72VIRGINS on January 26, 2005 01:02 PM

I am not Ace.But be warned: No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, Not even the Blog Father.
"Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. So you also must be ready, because the Ace of Spades will come at an hour when you do not expect him.

Now, brothers, about times and dates we do not need to write to you, for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. While people are saying, "Ace Who?," destruction will come on them suddenly,
and verily he shall slice like a fucking hammer.

Thus sayeth the book of Amish.

Whoa! Invoking Blog the Father! Good enough for me, halleluah!

Praise the ACE, the bane of Liberals, (usually)
the friend of conservatives, (mostly)
the balm of Gilead, (sometimes)
and he who brings
the funny
home (occasionally).

"It's f**king f**ked."
-- reportedly a genuine comment offered by a "senior Labour source"
Correction: I wrote that Labour is losing 88% (now 87%) of the seats it is "defending." I think that's wrong. The right way to say it is the seats they are contesting -- that is, they don't necessarily already hold these seats, but they have put up a candidate to run for the seat. It's still very bad but not as bad as losing 87% of the seats they already held.

🚨ED MILIBAND [a Minister in Starmer's government] SAYS KEIR STARMER WILL RESIGN AS PRIME MINISTER

He has reportedly reassured Labour MP's that Starmer will be resigning following the disastrous results tonight

It's over

"The end of the two party system in the UK" as first the Fake Conservatives and now Labour chooses political suicide rather than simply STOPPING THE INVASION
Incidentally, the only reason this didn't already happen in the US is because of the Very Bad Orange Man (who is right on 85% of all policy calls and extremely, existentially right on 15% of them)

No political party that is NOT also a doomsday religious cult would EVER choose a cataclysmic loss -- and possible extinction as a party -- to support a toxically unpopular favoritism of NON-CITIZEN ILLEGAL MIGRANTS over actual citizen voters.

Only a cult does this.

Now they've lost 84%.

Annunziata Rees-Mogg
@zatzi
If this continues Labour loses 2,148 seats tonight.

That is much worse than the worst case predictions I’ve seen.

Cataclysmic

Update: They've now lost 88% of the seats they're defending. As I mentioned earlier, I think I heard that London will not bail them out, as many of those Labour seats will probably flip to "Muslim Independent" or Green. Detroit's 5am vote will not save them.

Yup, Labour is losing 80% of its seats...

The British Patriot
@TheBritLad

🚨 BREAKING: Labour have lost 80% of all seats contested as of 2:25 AM.<
br> If this continues, Keir Starmer will be out of office next week.

Reform has surged and projected to pick up between 1700-2100 seats.

Wow, up to 1700-2100 seats. It's not incredible that this is happening. It's incredible that the Davos crowd is so absolutely determined to privilege Muslim "migrants" over the actual native population who elects them, no matter how loudly the natives scream that they want to be prioritized, that they will gladly self-extinguish as a party rather than simply representing the interests of their own voters. Astonishing.
Remember, when they call other people "cultists" -- they are the ones so imprisoned in their social reinforcement and discipline bubbles that they will choose political death rather than dare upset the Karen Enforcement Officers of their cult.
Update: Now they've lost 83% of the seats they were defending.

@DPJHodges

Reform are basically wiping Labour out in the North. It's not a defeat. It's not even a rout. Labour are simply ceasing to exist.

Nick Lowles
@lowles_nick

Tonight’s results are calamitous for Labour. Not just for Keir Starmer's leadership, but for the very future of the party

STARMERGEDDON: In early returns, Reform gains 135 seats, Labour loses 90, the Fake Conservatives lose 36 (and I didn't even know they could fall any further), the Lib Dems lose 4, and the Greens gain 6. Note that the only other party gaining seats is the Greens and they're only gaining a handful of seats.
Update: Reform now up 145, Labour down 98.
Labour projected to lose Wales -- where they've ruled for 27 years.
Fulton County Georgia just discovered 400 boxes of ballots for Labour
Update: REF +156, LAB -107, CON -45
Brutal: In four out of five council seats where Labour is defending, they've lost. 80%.
I'm sure it's not this simple, but Reform is straight taking Labour's and the "Conservatives'" seats. They've lost almost exactly what Reform gained. If understand this right (and warning, I probably don't), all of London's council seats are up for election, and Labour might lose hugely there, as their old voters abandon them for Reform, Muslim Indenpendents, and the Greens.
REF +190, LAB -134, CON -56.

Updates on the Labour collapse in council elections -- which wags are calling #Starmergeddon -- from Beege Welborne. There are about 5000 seats up for grabs, Labour is expected to lose 1,800, Reform will probably gain 1,580, up from... zero. So this would be more than that.
People claim that while Labour has adopted the Sharia Agenda to appeal to the million Muslims it allowed to migrate to the country, those voters are ditching Labour to vote for the Muslim Independent Party or the Greens. Delicious. This shadenfreude is going straight to my thighs.
Oh, and if Starmer loses about as badly as expected, Labour will toss him out of a window Braveheart style and replace him. He will announce he is resigning to spend more time with his Gay Ukrainian Male Prostitutes.

Media bias and senationalism are as old as, well, the media:

That was written by Denny O'Neill and illustrated by, get this, Frank Miller. Editor to the Stars Jim Shooter was in charge at the time.
I always thought the gag was original to the comic book, but in fact the "Threat or Menace" headline was a satirical joke about media bias and sensationalism for a long while. The Harvard Lampoon used it in a parody of Life magazine: "Flying Saucers: Threat or Menace?"
