And Speaking of Awards: Wizbang!'s 2005 Weblog Finalists Are Announced

I'd have to say the most interesting category is for Best Conservative Blog. Ah-heh-hemmm.

I don't want to do any negative campaigning about my ~~blood-enemies~~ esteemed fellow nominees, but I understand that the folks at Polipundit are given to dressing up their dogs like this:

Just sayin'.

Other Endorsements: I really can't endorse anyone else. Not because I'm selfish (I am selfish, but that's not the reason), but because in many categories there are several people who I'm "blog-friends"* with, so it would be impolitic and awkward to favor one over the other.

* "Blog-friends" are like actual friends, except you really don't like each other very much and your entire relationship is based on a mix of resentment, back-biting, and ruthless what-can-you-do-for-me-ism.

Wait, no, blog-friends are exactly like actual friends.

It's a blessing to have so many friends. A blessing and a black Satanic curse.

And not to trade in gossip, but I understand that Belgravia Dispatch has been linked to several of the roadside bombings in Iraq.

People can make up their own minds, but it seems to me, as a consevative, it'd be wrong to get behind a blog like that. But, I'm sure it's very nice otherwise.... if you like that sort of thing.

Dick Cheney would vote for Ace of Spades HQ if he allowed voting to take place.

Posted by: MH on December 5, 2005 03:16 PM

C'mon, Ace. You can endorse me. There's $100 in my wallet for your PayPal if you do so.

Or maybe there isn't.

Seriously, to hell with Blogads. . . you're missing out on serious *bribery*, dude. BRIBERY!!!

Cheers,

Hey! I know! Let's just do nominations!

I nominate Feisty

see, we'll have the nomination process, then the top vote-getters will have their own voting process. then, we can get the official AOSHQ un-biased, totally legit, endorsement!

or, just vote for Feisty

Dave,

Alas, I wrote that after Feisty Republican Whore asked me to champion her over you, and, as far as I can tell, you don't have me on a list of "People I'd Do."

Which, I guess, is actually a mark in your favor.

Posted by: ace on December 5, 2005 03:30 PM

Try addressing Ace as "snuggly little Acey-poo" and see if that works.

Posted by: on December 5, 2005 03:39 PM

Gee, Ace, per the sitemeter, the DOJ and the House of Rep. were checking out the Ace of Spades HQ Lifestyle this afternoon.

Posted by: on December 5, 2005 04:06 PM

FYI, my snuggly little Acey-poo calls himself Snuggly....I just draw attention to it.

And, for the record, I like Dave's blog, so all ya'all readers can just choose between him and I and no one else since we're clearly the best anyways.

[Crying silently cuz Ace doesn't like my list, thinking that Naked Testicle Spiderman guy ain't so bad afterall.]

Posted by: Feisty on December 5, 2005 04:12 PM

Snuggly? lol! Is that really true, Acey-poo?

Personally, I pegged him to be a Pookie-face kind of guy.

That MacStansbury is a real creep, shilling Feisty (who you SHOULD vote for, of course) but not ME?

Bastard!

You know, you HAVE TO vote for me (My VRWC) in the Top 250 category, because, as I've said elsewhere, my competitors are a bunch of EVIL slack-jawed booger-eaters who kill puppies and kittens, make babies cry, burn the flag, and hate their mothers. And love Osama bin Laden. And gerbils. Make your mother proud of you and vote for ME. She wants you to. Your country wants you to. Be a good American. P-Diddy/Puff Daddy/ whateverthefuckhisnameis said, “vote or die,” so vote for ME!!!

I'm gonna get slaughtered. Oh well, I get the bragging banner. w00t!

Posted by: Beth on December 5, 2005 10:25 PM

I'm not saying you should vote for me in the Top 1001-1750 Blogs category. Nope. Not saying that at all.

I'm just saying that not there to holds those other blogs' hands and babysit. They have to come to the table with something.

They say that they want you to vote for them. They want you to say "You look beautiful to me, honey”.

But if they do that it's placating. You don't placate.

That's just how you all roll.

I know that. Dick Cheney's cock knows that.

Thanks for the heads up on the conservative blog poll.

I voted for the anchoress. :)

Few people remember that Norm MacDonald began his career as a ventriloquist

"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.

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?"
