Malkin Rips Sullivan

Well, he's taken all those tens of thousands of of donated dollars previously earmarked for "site improvements" and "more expensive bandwidth costs" and decided instead to take himself a little European vacation and maybe write a novel.

And he just had a pledge drive, too. Those who donated recently are less than happy.

At some times I do feel like giving this site up. But I'm also mindful, when I feel that way, of the last donation-drive I had, and the reasonble expectations of those generous enough to give money to keep me in beer & tacos that I will, in fact, continue blogging for a long while after the donation-drive ends.

The best part of Malkin's essay is her noting the fact that Sullivan has briefly returned to blogging... in order to post fawning emails from his fans.

Priorities, priorities.

So, Ace, who are your largest blogging influences? Besides Andrew Sullivan of course.
Teeeehehehe.

I think it's time to hit the tip jar again. Let's make sure Ace feels guilt chained to this blog.

Posted by: Golden Boy on February 3, 2005 05:13 PM

Ok, I have to "come out of the closet" on this one. Little do all of Sullivan's donors know that I am the one trumped them all. A month ago, I saw Teresa Heinz-Kerry walking down the street and I managed to extort a million bucks from her prentending to be a gin and white raisin wholesaler.

Anyway, I felt bad about my cruel joke and promised that I would use the money for good. So, I took the million bucks and paid Sullivan to shut the hell up for a while.

You know, it's like a common good kinda thing.

Posted by: TF6S on February 3, 2005 05:16 PM

Well, I say good luck to Sully on his next blog-money drive.

Posted by: carin on February 3, 2005 05:21 PM

Plus, you actually have 4 blogads now... Woo hoo.

Anyway, anyone dumb enough to send money to Excitable Andy for "bandwidth costs" deserves to be so fleeced.

Posted by: someone on February 3, 2005 05:24 PM

LOL. That was a great question Fat Kid. Man, we need to get Ace invited to more college radio shows.

With Andy, it's always "the three Bs": the boyfriend, the beagle, and the bandwidth.

Am I the only one here who always thinks back to Allah's classic photochop of Sully on his cross from the Abu Ghraib days whenever I see any discussion of that oh-so expensive Gold-Plated Bandwidth?

I mean, I'm just sayin...

Posted by: HayZeus on February 3, 2005 09:57 PM

Speaking of which, OT: Allah in a massive blue-on-blue (red on red?) firefight over at Roger L. Simon...

Posted by: someone on February 3, 2005 10:53 PM

I find it more than mildly annoying that every post allah interjects a comment into, the entire audience focuses solely on whatever he just said. It's like: "OOH, ALLAH'S HERE! Everybody drop what you're doing and cow-tow", or "OOH, ALLAH'S HERE! Let's pick a fight!".

Then again, I'm just insanely jealous of his traffic/popularity.

Posted by: fat kid on February 3, 2005 11:03 PM

When I accidently stumbled upon the world of blogging a couple years back (ok, I don't follow trends real fast) I followed links to Sullivan a few times. It didn't take long to get bored with the drama. I haven't been to that site in well over a year. He can stay on hiatus for all of me. Nor do I understand sending money to him when, for the same amount I could get my picture posted on SondraK's ass. Now THAT'S worth a little something.

Posted by: Peter on February 3, 2005 11:26 PM

All I can say is, no wonder Leon Weiseltier couldn't stand little Andy back in the days when he was turning The New Republic from a magazine about politics and the arts into something Just Totally Fabulous !!

Posted by: Adieu, Andrew, Adieu on February 4, 2005 07:16 AM

LOL. This is so nice, all the shock over him being a blog-´ho, more precisely, a blog-´ho-mo. And he stuck it right in front of the faces of his brown-nose supporters, too.

It´s too sweet.

I just couldn´t help wondering how much he ripped Instapundit off, since Glenn is such a Sullivan adulator...

Posted by: Alessandra on February 4, 2005 09:30 AM

ACE, I see why you blog. I'll bet you made more that Sully. I don't understand why anyone who makes more than $200k and just sold a screenplay for an undisclosed amount should ask for more more for "beer and tacos." You need to be investigated!

Posted by: 72VIRGINS on February 4, 2005 09:56 AM

One, I have yet to forgive Allah for taking all that time off without a note. I get stuck with a New York Yankees/Derek Jeter pic with the '04 election pending. Thanks, guy, you obviously DID pick up Haji's work ethic.

Second, when are we gonna take up a fund-raising drive to send Oliver Wills on a tour of every McDonald's in the United States? That would shut Fillet-O-Fish up for a while.....

Posted by: SGT Dan on February 4, 2005 07:29 PM

As I recall, the reason Steven den Beste never had ads, or even offered a PayPall or Amazon Wishlist, was because he wanted to have a zero-obligation blog that he could quit at any time. That despite his hobby costing him more than 2 grand a year in bandwidth.

Important Message from Recent Convert to Christianity and Yet Super-Serious Christian Tuq'r Qarlson: Actually Muslims love Jesus, it's Trump and his neocons who hate him
Tucker Carlson Network
@TCNetwork

The people in charge [Jews, of course -- ace] don't want you to know this, but Muslims love Jesus.

Islam reveres Him as a major prophet and messenger of the Lord, believes He performed miracles, and states that He will return to Earth to defeat the Antichrist. That's why Donald Trump's painting depicting himself as the Son of God offended the president of Iran. It was an attack on his religion as well as Christianity.

Trump's trolling tweet was ill-advised, but Tucker is just lying when he claims the Christianity-hating President of Iran was "offended" by this.
He's one step away from announcing his official conversion to Islam. He literally never stops praising Islam. Well, he suddenly became Christian two years ago, there's not much stopping him from converting again.
You can track Tuq'r's official conversion to Islam with this Bingo card.

Politico is reporting that multiple people have abruptly resigned from Eric Swalwell's gubernatorial campaign: "Members of senior leadership have departed the campaign, including Courtni Pugh, a strategic adviser who served as Swalwell's top liaison to organized labor groups."

So the campaign is collapsing due to the truth of the sexual harassment allegations.
That hissing sound you hear is the air going out of the Swalwell campaign. UPDATE: No it wasn't, it was just Swalwell one-cheek-sneaking out a fart on camera
Eric Swalwell more like Eric Farewell amirite
