Thank you, Open-Thread God!

Oh and btw nice scam you are taking advertising money for ACE. Buying Iraqi dinars? I think you might have some legal issues SEC, treasury etc. The site is offering 555/dinars per dollar when the most recent exchange rate is a bit below 1500/dollar. Nice scam they have going. Finance isn't your game eh?

I don't think Ace is going to be doing any perp walk. lol!

I always knew that Ace was just another minion in Bushco's war profiteering junta.

Impeach Ace!

So we now know where Ace has been all weekend. He had to jet down to Grand Cayman to make a deposit in his offshore accounts with the proceeds of his ill gotten booty. No doubt Halliburton is behind the BetOnIraq site! Bwahahaha!

Brewfan, perhaps you should rephrase "ill gotten booty".

Uhm, Brewfan, didn't you get the memo like the rest of us?

Ace has a cute booty!

Ace, you forgot to sign your post.

Sorry for the Atrios-like effort today

Your worst effort is 10 times better than anything Atrios can do.

Brewfan, perhaps you should rephrase "ill gotten booty".

ill begotten booty? I don't do this for a living you know.

No, it's just that that phrase could mean several things in the Ace of Spades Lifestyle.

If you can't say something nice about Ace's butt, don't say anything at all.

I love Brit Hume.

it's very paced, but you're right, he's pissed.

In other news...

Cindy Sheehan is suffering from migranes or something. Not sure what this picture is about, to be honest.

She just read the text of the Pres' speech.

I don't know. Maybe she's being attacked by invisible flying monkeys. It's just a weird picture.

Her hair doesn't look like crap for once, her nails are done, and she's in Spain for the holidays. Nothing to be too angsty about.

I'm guessing she's at a revival meeting, getting filled with the Holy Ghost and praising the name of Jesus! Or maybe its just gas.

Her hair doesn't look like crap for once, her nails are done

Josie, you must be a woman. I never would have seen that :)

For the record,

I have seen Ace's behind.

Well, in jeans anyway.

Um, if it wasn't for all that crazy.blog.money, Valu-Rite Vodka, Klonopin, meeting with His Highness Hugh Hewitt, and now, ill-gotten booty, I would say Ace could benefit from a few more hours on the squat rack.

Of course, I could be wrong.

Just sayin'.

First of all, look at the crap already being spewed by the MSM over the speech:

Secondly, as for Sheehan, I think all of 100 people showed up at the anti-American rally she held in Spain. Now we know who the Spanish Kossacks are.

Is anyone, by any chance, watching this "Winning in Iraq" or whatever on Fox right now? I'm sure it's a rerun, but it's pretty interesting. He's talking about reality shows in Iraq, at this particular moment.

OT: An interesting idea for a press conference.

GWB is looking very good at his press conference.

Mr. Bush is stopping short of the word "treason" to describe the leakers and the media, but the implication is clear.

If you are going to refer to possibly illegitimate financial transactions you should phrase it "ill booten GOTTI"

Dave at Garfield Ridge is presently running a caption contest on that Cindy picture, BTW. I believe my entry is a contender.

Wait.

Sorry sorry sorry. Umpteen blogs have that pic, but the contest I was thinking of is being run by Stephen at Politburo Diktat.

Oh. I went to Garfield's blog and posted my entry on the GWB pic.

Good going. Add "genius" to the littany of insults we hurl at you, Michael, here at AoS.

Well, screw Dave, just post the same gag at the Commissar's place. There doesn't seem to be a lot of overlap between their readers anyway. I did more or less the same fart joke at Politburo Diktat and Wuzzadem.
