Our Alpha Moron is The Shit

By jen

First Annual Time Blog Index has Ace number 1?

Excellent indeed. We have always known he is The Shit. Hell he is the reason I began blogging in the first place and I would venture to say there are many of you who began your little blogging adventures because of this Alpha Moron.

Time says:

We had our say about the best blogs in the world, and asked you to vote on what you think of our selections. Here’s how they rate so far on a scale of 1 (abysmal) to 10 (indispensable.)

So go vote for our fearless quasi-leader. I say quasi-leader because most of us do not have the attention span to actually follow anyone’s lead to begin with.

What Time has to say about AoSHQ:

The conservative/ libertarian answer to the Daily Kos, the Ace of Spades HQ, (AoS) has been going strong since 2003, and recently recorded its 10 millionth hit. Like most political blogs, the anonymous Ace comments on the day’s political news and provides links. But the anonymous Ace who writes the blog isn’t afraid to mix it up; AoS is full of snarling, flat-out funny commentary, videos, cartoons, pictures, and gratuitous insults. And while reliably conservative, AoS is no shill; last summer, the blog called President Bush “incompetent” and “embarrassingly dimwitted” and urged him to retire. The quote from H.L. Mencken in the AoS banner pretty much sums up Ace’s mission: ”’Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit upon his hands, hoist the black flag, and start slitting throats.”

Sample Ace of Spades HQ Post: So long as Obama’s having that “open, candid” discussion about race we’ve all so long wanted to have, perhaps we can finally begin to address the virulent anti-Semitism infecting large segments of the black population while we’re at it, huh? Or wait—are we not having that “open, candid” a discussion?

Congratulations Ace, you deserve it.
