Right Wing News' Best Blogs Poll

So, I was kinda ranked in the middle. But the thing is, a bunch of Daddy's girls rated blogs for this poll.

I liked it when they called me Daddy. And they did, too, because they were all hungry.*

Well, they're both here. Maybe they'd like to throw down over it.

Then maybe they'd like to both call me Daddy. And they will, because they're both hungry.

Meanwhile, there's the most annoying blog results...

Are you trying to lose ALL your female readers in one day?

Posted by: someone on December 5, 2005 01:04 AM

I already lost Bbeck.

Are we still friends? Absolutely. Do we talk? No.

I have more important things to do, like playing fantasy football.

Posted by: ace on December 5, 2005 01:06 AM

Look, I'm not here to hold hands and babysit.

My female readers have got to come to the table with something.

Posted by: ace on December 5, 2005 01:08 AM

Ace,

You're only ranked #6 out of millions of blogs? I must say I'm disappointed.

Loose shit.

Posted by: Dave S on December 5, 2005 01:19 AM

Protein Wisdom has a humor element to it?

Instapundit. Never liked the blog.

Favorite non-blogger columnist -- I'll go with Krauthammer, Coulter is 2nd.

Most overrated blog -- definitely Wonkette and Huffpo.

Wonkette should receive the award for worst blog design, too. The site is simply un-navigatable, er, not user friendly.

Best Linker -- WTF?

Most annoying right-of-center blogger -- Cut the shit, folks, Andrew Sullivan isn't righ-of-anything. He's a full blown liberal. Not a leftist, but a liberal.

The Best Original Content For a Blog -- AoSHQ should have received a mention in this category.

Best Blog Overall -- Hugh Hewitt spoiled the list. I realized the other day that I no longer have any use for the likes of Hugh Hewitt.

...and Allah loses to den Beste.

I won last year. The award's up on the mantle next to my two Weblog Awards and a "World's Greatest Grandpa" coffee mug I won in a raffle.

Posted by: Allah on December 5, 2005 02:05 AM

okay, so I'm new to this whole "blogging" thing...but I really don't know any of the blogs that, according to that list, I'm supposed to miss the most.

now, though I'm new to "blogging" I've been on the internet since 1989. I would love to be #60 on any list like that. being in the top 10 is just amazing to me.

Posted by: MacStansbury on December 5, 2005 04:25 AM

Isn't Den Beste blogging again? So Allah repeats! Another Grandpa mug for you!

Posted by: The Unabrewer on December 5, 2005 05:44 AM

Best Blog Overall -- Hugh Hewitt spoiled the list. I realized the other day that I no longer have any use for the likes of Hugh Hewitt.

Well, he does recommend a good shit sandwich. (Number 6 on Google for "shit sandwich").

Pretty heady company for Best Overall. Very impressive.

O-Dubb got freakin' robbed, man. He's way more annoying than those other chumps.

Posted by: Phinn on December 5, 2005 09:14 AM

"World's Greatest Grandpa" coffee mug I won in a raffle.

If by "raffle" you mean "beatdown with his own walker," yeah, you got it fair and square.

Posted by: Sue Dohnim on December 5, 2005 09:20 AM

And Ace, even sadder than getting thrashed by Goldstein?

You didn't even RANK for "most annoying right-of-center blogger."

Loser.

Posted by: Bill from INDC on December 5, 2005 09:42 AM

Ace. Fear Not. Spideystein never stops gazing admiringly in the mirror long enough to notice something so quaint as blogger awards.

Posted by: doc on December 5, 2005 09:59 AM

Bill was so thrilled with his "most annoying" nomination he ran out and snatched a baby out of one of those real-life nativity scenes and spiked it hard into the lawn of the Methodist church.

Posted by: spongeworthy on December 5, 2005 10:00 AM

Ace, I think things were stacked against you because they didn't have a "best moronblog" category.

Posted by: Village Idiot on December 5, 2005 10:10 AM

Bill was so thrilled with his "most annoying" nomination he ran out and snatched a baby out of one of those real-life nativity scenes and spiked it hard into the lawn of the Methodist church.

Catholic church, but how did you know?

Given the three votes, I suspect that the Redstate guys are still sore that I offered them a new tagline:

The RedState.org Republican: They're not your mother's Republican!*

* More like your great-grandmother's Republican.

And we all know what a miserable old biddy she was.

I'm pulling out of the Wizbang Awards -- firstly, because no TBogg? Fuck that noise; and secondly, because if I'm going to send Wizbang traffic, it's going to be for soft core porn disguised as "culture" new.

No naked Teri Polo pics, no linky.

Sorry, but that's just the way I roll.

Congrats on the nomination for best conservative blog, Ace. Well deserved. You run a great site.

Not that I'm gonna vote for you, mind. LaShawn's in your category. And you can't compete with sassy.

Posted by: Jeff G on December 5, 2005 10:37 AM

Ace's Monday Morning To Do List:

1. Get more sass.
2. Kick the shit out of blogs 1 through 5.
3. Find some Teri Polo naked pics, or maybe that chick that played the Borg woman on Voyager.
4. Kick the shit out of O-Dubb, just for the hell of it.
5. Check video store for copy of Krull, which they fucking promised they would hold for me when it came in.

Posted by: Phinn on December 5, 2005 10:45 AM

6. Execute plan for world domination.

Posted by: Phinn on December 5, 2005 10:49 AM

7. Replenish stock of Val-U-Rite vodka.

Posted by: Sue Dohnim on December 5, 2005 11:09 AM

8. Publicly and loudly de-link that bastard Goldstein, again.

Posted by: Jeff G on December 5, 2005 11:23 AM

I know ... fucking Fafblog. Jesus.

Posted by: Phinn on December 5, 2005 11:27 AM

I voted for you on that list.

Posted by: Will Franklin on December 5, 2005 12:32 PM

Voted you+Jeff for funniest (we were told to pick 5 but I could only think of 2) and Allah for most missed (though if I knew he already had a World's Greatest Grampa mug I wouldn't have bothered since clearly his life is already complete.)

Posted by: Karol on December 5, 2005 01:30 PM

Thanks, Karol. Thanks for the attention.

But get out of my face.

(Just kidding.)

Ace, I think we need to do some of these Klein quotes as t-shirts. Let me know if you have any ideas for designs and I'll 'shop 'em up.

Posted by: Allah on December 5, 2005 01:49 PM

Awww, Ace. This female reader voted for you.

Sully made a good show there too. HAHAHAHHAA
Most annoying right-of-center AND a finalist in most annoying L.O.C! And overrated, to boot! (I voted for him in most annoying right AND left, even though he's totally NOT "right of center.")

"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...

@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.
