Light Blogging Apology; Repeat on Hoist the Black Flag

In addition to trying to get a show together, and then giving up, I'm working with a web-designer to change the site's look.

I've been a bad blogger the past three days, I know.

The Hoist the Black Flag show will be going on hiatus at least through the week of New Year's Day, partly because Karol will be on vacation, partly because this is a tough time to get guests, and partly because I am just overwhelmed with stuff that I have to do right now.

Maybe when we come back we'll be more professional... but I doubt it.

But... but who am I gonna call this next hour!

Posted by: JFH on December 20, 2005 03:54 PM

I just copied this from the RightTalk website:

Hoist The Black Flag ( 4pm EST)
Description: Ace and Karol will discuss the Iraqi elections, Afghanistan's first fully democratic government, Bush's speech on the War on Terrorism, and gay cowboyws eating pudding in Brokeback Mountain. In ascending order of importance, of course. PLUS-- A special bonus mystery guest! Host: [Ace Of Spades]

You got me all excited and now you say you are cancelling? This is what the bigshot radio people do. There are no ratings this time of year so they all go on vacation. You, sir, are no Mr. Bigshot. Frankly, I wouldn't care if you had a guest or not . :( :( :(

Hey, managing expectations appropriately is very professional.

Posted by: Dave in Texas on December 20, 2005 03:58 PM


Can you at least get Dave in Texas to tell us a Crapmas story while I decorate my Crap Tree?

Posted by: Bart on December 20, 2005 03:58 PM

Bart, this synchonized posting is weirding me out.

Either that or we both pick the same time to goof off at work.

Posted by: Dave in Texas on December 20, 2005 04:00 PM

Howz about Allah as a guest?

Posted by: on December 20, 2005 04:01 PM

Please don't tell me you were thinking about the Crap Tree, though, because that will be just too much for me take.

It's like...

we're connected...

like Heath and Jake, or...

Ace and Allah.

(But we're not gay! like them.)

Posted by: Bart on December 20, 2005 04:04 PM

There's a designated goof off at work time?

Damn, I miss all the memos.

Posted by: Slublog on December 20, 2005 04:06 PM

I just hope the new site isn't more cluttered, and doesn't have a narrower column for the main text. Don't put a new column to the right of the main text :P

How about selling the skull cross-swords logo? I like it. A tasteful, reasonably priced one that is. Embroider the Mencken quote underneath.

Posted by: c.cruse on December 20, 2005 04:07 PM

Yeah, heaven forbid you ask Allahpundit to guest blog. That would make too much sense.

Oh, well. I guess I will check out the good doctor's bridges, now.

Posted by: Bart on December 20, 2005 04:07 PM

I could call in and we could regale you all with tales of last night's debauchery.

True story: one of the chicks who was there had just seen Brokeback Mountain, and when we asked her about it, she actually said to me, "You remind me a little of Jake Gyllenhaal."

When a woman tells you you remind her of a guy who she just watched get buttfucked by another guy, then, my friends, you're officially a beta male.

I'm just glad she didn't say Ace reminded her of Heath Ledger.

Posted by: Allah on December 20, 2005 04:11 PM

Please don't tell me you were thinking about the Crap Tree

no, we weren't quite in the zone on that one. but the other one about "amps on 11" was freaky.

Slublog, I used to take work breaks between my smoking but I quit smoking, so I'm more free-form with the schedule now

Posted by: Dave in Texas on December 20, 2005 04:15 PM

Total self-esteem boost, baby.

That's gotta sting.

Posted by: Slublog on December 20, 2005 04:17 PM

Maybe it was a compliment. Maybe she really liked the look of your ass. Maybe not.

Posted by: JackStraw on December 20, 2005 04:17 PM

Allah,

To reclaim "Alpha" (i.e. Super Hetero) status, you should have just looked at her and said "Thanks for the attention, but what I really want is for you to get out of my face. After all, you are a solid 7.5 and I only do 8-10's. I don't placate".

Works like a charm.

Posted by: Jack M. on December 20, 2005 04:22 PM

That's gotta sting.

I meant getting compared to Gyllenhall, not being pounded up the squeakhole by Heath Ledger or Ace.

Posted by: Slublog on December 20, 2005 04:22 PM

Most young women consider Jake Gyllenhallenhelleyal quite attractive, so I would assume she was attempting to pay you a compliment.

Posted by: on December 20, 2005 04:32 PM
Posted by: Slublog on December 20, 2005 04:36 PM

Seriously Allah, you're like bigger than... um... well Allah. Ace could not find a more worthy guest, and I would actually tune in.

Posted by: on December 20, 2005 04:37 PM

then, my friends, you're officially a beta male.

Congratulations, Allah! You're not an Omega Male!!!

Posted by: sandy burger on December 20, 2005 04:38 PM

Slublog,

looks like a catcher to me

Posted by: on December 20, 2005 04:39 PM

Jake Gyllengallenhayall = dark good looks
Allah, Italian = dark good looks
Jake = Allah

Ace = probably the whitest white boy that ever lived

Posted by: on December 20, 2005 04:39 PM

Jake Gyllengallenhayall = dark good looks
Allah, Italian = dark good looks
Jake = Allah

deductive reasoning at Ace's?

We are all doomed

Posted by: on December 20, 2005 04:41 PM

Yeah, I don't think it was meant as an insult. But still, as a straight guy, you never want to be compared to a famous twink.

Maybe it was because I kept rubbing Ace's arm and whispering, "Ah cain't quit choo." I suppose that might have come off as slightly gay.

Whatever. As Chris Klein might say by way of Jack M., she was cute and I'm a beta heterosexual. I only date 3-4s. So thanks for the attention, but get out of my face.

Ace = probably the whitest white boy that ever lived

Seriously. The guy practically glowed in the fucking dark, he was so white.

Posted by: Allah on December 20, 2005 05:20 PM

Allah, come on.

You have this "Jake Gyllenhalenhillan" vibe working for you man. It instantly tells the chicks that they have entered into a predator-prey relationship. Just give them a look, and a cute little smile, and be gracious for the gifts that you have.

Posted by: Jack M. on December 20, 2005 05:29 PM

Yeah -- apparently Heath Ledger's the predator, and I'm the prey.

Posted by: Allah on December 20, 2005 05:30 PM

Allah, the notion that you're a beta heterosexual may be one of those common misconceptions with women. But if there is one and they don't get it right away, then they're gone.

At least you didn't placate, though, and you can always say, "We ended on good terms."

Posted by: utron on December 20, 2005 05:32 PM

Ace, you should do a show with Walid Phares as your guest sometime. He's got a book out, Future Jihad, and he blogs over at The Counter-Terrorism Blog. He'd be really good on the implications over the NSA dust-up and assessing our progress in rolling back jihadi covers in the USA.

Posted by: The Apologist on December 20, 2005 05:37 PM
Yeah -- apparently Heath Ledger's the predator, and I'm the prey.
Alot less beer and I am sure you would have no problem outrunning any Hollywood homo or Ace.

Have your web designer check the format on pocket pc device as the current home page if not handheld friendly. The comments pages work well on my ipaq though.

Are we supposed to be making excuses for "light blogging" (GOD how I hate that phrase--:gagging:) this week? I thought we all had an unspoken pass with Christmas shopping and all that as our excuse. Damn.

Posted by: Beth on December 21, 2005 02:03 AM

has Christmas captured your attention this week Beth?

Well!

Posted by: Dave in Texas on December 21, 2005 02:05 AM

"Allah takes it up the rear" - I'd dare anyone to wear a T-shirt that says this!

Or, better, have it in a non-Latin language, like Arabic or Persian or Pushtu. Hehehehehehehehe.

I'm going to get myself killed one of these days, just watch.

What is the UK Regime's plan for protecting the citizens from the savage criminals they've foisted on the populace? They offer NONE. They do, however, have a plan for protecting the savage criminals from the citizens: The citizens must STAY CALM and not get angry and not share videos of citizens being attacked by savage criminals.
The public keeps saying "protect us from the foreign savages you have imported against our wishes and over our objections" and the UK branch of The Regime keeps proposing plans to protect the foreign savages from the public. Soclose to what the public is demanding, just, you know, the complete opposite.
Just a thought: Maybe you wouldn't have to worry about the public attacking the savage criminals if you actually introduced a plan to protect the public from the savage criminals. Maybe they wouldn't feel as if it was necessary for them to protect the public through self-help.

Oof. Reviewers do not like Scary Movie 6. The criticism I keep hearing is that the movie mistakes a reference for an actual joke. The movie (they say) keeps Key Jangling a reference to another movie (or some other pop culture ephemera) and you expect there to be a joke but nope, the Key Jangle was the joke. Other reviewers say that the promise that "no lines will be uncrossed" is a fake-out, and that the movie is bland and inoffensively corporate.
Whoops! I posted about Dan Goldman losing the NY congressional primary. He might do that, but it won't be tonight -- the primary isn't held until June 23.
One race to keep an eye on: the Levi's heir nepo baby and egregious "Designated Liar" Dan Goldman -- one of the Democrats from a safe district Democrats send out to spread their most indefensible lies -- may actually lose his lower Manhattan/Brooklyn set due to, get this, antisemitism in the Democrat primary electorate.
Antisemitism? In the anti-Nazi Democrat Party? Sounds crazy, I know, but apparently the anti-Nazi Party wants to eliminate Jews.
