— Ace So, Dean Esmay is getting a lot more traffic than usual in his normal fashion. Usually he's a preening horse's ass, but every once in a while he feels he's not getting all the attention he deserves, and he cranks the preening horse's ass act up to 11.
But a couple of days ago he scratched the numbers off the amp and re-wrote them so they go up to 12. 12! Answering the age-old question, "What do you do when you've got your nitwit jagoff amps turned up all the way to eleven, but you just need a little more kick?"
Well, you announce a new "litmus test" for all of your cobloggers, telling them, basically, it is now off-limits to criticize our friends the Muslims at all, a diktat which seems like it applies to comments as well.
And not only do two of your cobloggers leave, your own wife, an inactive coblogger, decides she can no longer live under your Mr. Bossyblog rules anymore either. (I mean, she leaves the blog, not Esmay.)
Why am I posting this? I haven't linked Dean Esmay more than once or twice in my life, after all.
No, I'm posting it because, well, if you think I'm a preening prick, well! Get a load of this douche-tool!
But I sort of also want this sort of spike in traffic Dean gets to his somewhat irrelevant blog by just acting like a cockmonkey every month. Or more like... every twenty eight days. Usually lasting for three or four days. That sort of cycle.
So, I hereby am enacting my own litmus test. All cobloggers and commenters and, frankly, even emailers are required to obey these rules forthwith or be banned forevermore.
1. You jerkoffs will no longer call me a homo. It is imperative in a pluralistic, liberal society that all men of goodwill respect my right to not be called a homo in every other friggin' thread.
My mom reads this blog, you fucking retards. Every month she calls me up and asks me when she's going to get to meet my "life partner." I'm sick of her asking me if I'm "being safe" when I go out "clubbing," if I've found any "adorable endtables" when I go out "'tiquing," and if I'm "bobbling the boy-beans" when I'm "sucking cock."
Seriously. The woman is already worried sick about my rather bizarre career choices. Are you trying to give her a heart attack?
You may, however, continue calling Bart gay as much as possible. You can also call Allah a homo. You can put them together in whatever preverted fantasies you like, just leave my ass out of it.
2. JackM. may no longer write poetry of any sort in honor of Mary Katherine Ham, or whatever other slice of tasty blogcake he's hungry for this week.
Actually, this isn't my rule. It's a court order. Mary Katherine slapped me with a TRO last week.
JackM, you have to learn there's a thin line between "grand romantic gesture" and "aggravated stalking."
3. Rightwingsparkle is no longer permitted to give John McCain hand-love in more than one thread per week.
As always, this rule is subject to the exception, "unless she's brought enough for the whole class."
4. This one's pretty important: No one can ever fucking tell me "It's fucking Old" ever fucking again.
Only exception? When I post a "new article" about "news" that happens to be from January of last year.
5. All further spelling and factual corrections shall come discretely via a polite email, and there shall be no public mocking of my stupidity.
Anyone who violates this rule will not be banned, but will, however, be required to post under the handle "Professor Persnickety McPedantfairy" for a full month.
6. WickedPinto must give a CONTENT WARNING announcing "I'm about to get seriously weird here, guys" before launching into one of his six thousand word opuses on banging Okinawan whores while simultaneously installing an air-ram on his 1964 Chevy Chevelle.
7. LauraW: Enough with the cats already.
Oh, I'm sure you thought you were helping me build brand-identity by sticking your stupid kitten posts right under my Ace of Spades logo. Because that's really the image I'm going for. "Oh, Ace of Spades? I think it's about politics and sex. And also adorable tabbies, I'm pretty sure."
Seriously, thanks so much for your efforts in this regard, but I think you've done quite enough.
8. Lastly: To make up for the banning of the terms "dhimmitude" and "taq'iya" at Dean's World, all commenters are required to work them into at least one (1) comment per day.
I apologize if these guidelines seem heavy-handed, but I'm afraid I must follow the example of William F. Buckley, who stormed into the offices of the National Review one day and laid down the law to his fellow writers: "Stop calling me a fancyboy!"
Is this a litmus test of ideological purity? Why yes. Yes it is.
PS, Dean?
You beclowned yourself with this whole jagoff jihad.
But we'll have to invent a new term to describe the hyperdimensional lunacy of comparing yourself to William F. Buckley.
One difference, just for starters: I'm pretty sure William F. Buckley knows how to correctly spell "inherent," and would probably not keep spelling the word incorrectly as "inherant" as he repeatedly cited it (in quotes, no less) as a key term in his new diktat.
Are you on the crack, Son?
Maybe it would be best if you tried it.
Oh: Via HotAir, which also notes Andrew Sullivan's discovery of a new Gospel in which Jesus commands, "Judge not terrorists such as Jose Padilla, lest ye be judged unfit to attend Madonna-concert after-parties."
WWWFBW? (What Would William F. Buckley Write?): From Dean's Super Happy Fun Blog:
If you cannot accept, wholeheartedly, all of the above 5 assertions--without exception or weasel-wording--then if you are a front page Dean's World contributor you should turn in your keys and say goodbye. You can do it gracefully or ingracefully.
"Ingracefully"? That's a rather nonfluiditudinous word, isn't it?
I might misspell words, but when I do, at least I'm actually trying to write actual words.
You morons keep that in mind the next time you want to point fingers and jump around like a bunch of circus monkeys.

And imparts "it's fucking old" without a switch.
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;

But only Ace and Dean can make stupid fucking rules when posting dumbfuck comments.

Esmay doesn't allow people he doesn't agree with in his little circle jerk, makes a lot of sense for him to chase off his only friends. His med cocktail must be a bit off.
I don't understand why anyone would read him in the first place unless they are RINO's looking for a stroking.
I've met Esmay. He's much worse in person. Something is not right there. I stopped visiting his site a couple of years ago when I realised what a small, strange person he is.

I'll even give him that bit of soul searching truth.

Hey! We're fucking number 1!
Ace of Spades is - by far - the most filthy mouthed of the RW blogs.
http://newsbuckit.blogspot.com/2007/02/seven-words-you-can-never-say-on.html
Nearly 4x as many instances of uneloquent potty-mouthedness as the number 2 ranked Dean Esmay's site
There's probably an undercounting somewhere, but I think this is a moment about which we moron-commenters, and our chief thai tranny loving, hobo killing vodka swilling moron-chief can be proud.

Politico and Hugh Hewitt have a piece revealing Rudy’s past choice of judges:
“A Politico review of the 75 judges Giuliani appointed to three of New York state’s lower courts found that Democrats outnumbered Republicans by more than 8 to 1. One of his appointments was an officer of the International Association of Lesbian and Gay Judges. Another ruled that the state law banning liquor sales on Sundays was unconstitutional because it was insufficiently secular.
A third, an abortion-rights supporter, later made it to the federal bench in part because New York Sen. Charles E. Schumer, a liberal Democrat, said he liked her ideology.”
So…for all of you who keep insisting to me that Rudy will appoint “strict constuctionists” so I need not worry on that end, all I can say is the proof is in the pudding.

Also, another OotS reader here! *waves hand* I also like DM of the Rings, which Ace linked a while back. Schlock Mercenary and 8-bit Theater are good too, but I'm way behind on both of those.
But no webcomic can beat Sluggy Freelance, which I personally rank right up there with Calvin and Hobbes as one of the greatest comics of all time.

Well, I don't want to sound like a moralistic snootypuss, but I'm kinda proud that the right wing blogosphere is much less foulmouthed than the left wing. I always figured that to be so.

I'd be a bit concerned if a blog I regularly commented on did this... you have to wonder what is next.
If you don't believe in Global Warming you'll be banned.
If you question the wisdom of my almightly plan to summon Aliens to this plane of existence you'll be banned.
If you comment about my wearing my underpants on my head, you'll be BANNED. Muahahahaha... whatever.
Odd that a lot of blogs try to increase their hits, readership, scope, etc. and Dean Esmay decides to go the other way and see if he can minimize his blog. I hope he succeeds beyond his wildest dreams in driving people away from his blog. But the underpants on the head thing, not really a fashion statement that will catch on.

Answer: The same guy Ted Olson just announced he would support for the Republican nomination.

Is that your picture? You're actually better looking than I thought. They did a good job on the Adam's apple.

Rosie, honey, I keep telling you I only hit from the right side of the plate. Trying to entice me with your ass is just not gonna get you the result you're looking for.
Homo.

Rudy!

Who have Reagan White House insiders said only had a minimal role in judicial selection there?
Rudy!

Did Dean "out" you in that thread at InDC based on information he had in your comment account?
If so, that's pretty sleazy.

Rudy!
Here's the thing. Giuliani is way pro-abortion. He even favored partial birth abortion, which is pretty dang extreme.
But I'd still be willing to support him if he'd appoint good judges, promise to keep defending in court pro-life laws like the Partial Birth Abortion Act, and promise not to fund abortion and stuff.
But the only one of these he's even made a gesture towards is the judges, and given his record on everything else, vague talk about appointed conservative judges just doesn't cut it. He needs to attack Roe v. Wade. Period. If he can't even bring himself to acknowledge that it was a horrible decision, then I can't trust him to actually appoint decent judges.
All this about appointed 8 Democrat judges for every 1 Republican judge does not help. Its by no means a deal-breaker, because Giuliani was in NYC after all. I'm pretty sure Romney appointed some Dem judges too. But it means Giuliani just can't mumble about appointing conservative judges and assume he's taken care of the problem. Hell, GWB had much better pro-life bona fides than Giuliani and we don't even know yet if his talk about appointing good judges meant anything. Giuliani can't get away with the same st uff.

On a different note, lighten up Francis. I'm not mad. Are you?
So who's your ideal candidate?

Good work, RWS. You just turned me off of Giuliani. I can't stand RINO doubletalk. Still, I'll never vote McCain.
Al Sharpton is looking better and better.

It was one of the National Review crowd, when that meme first came out about how Giuliani could be trusted because he'd worked in Reagan's Justice Department and had his finger in the appointment pies. I expect whoever it was will surface again.
I don't have an ideal candidate. My rank ordering of acceptable candidates is probably something like Romney>McCain>Newt. Either Barbour or Jeb would top the list for me if they jumped in. I could even get excited about either of them.
You really want me to lighten up Francis more than he already is? Brown people are scary, but what about albinos? Frick'n Satan's palefaces.

FWIW, I'm not jumping on the Rudy bandwagon, I'm just expressing a preference over McCain. I think I've been pretty open about my Rudy reservations (as has the host of this blog, and ace friggin loves the guy, NTTAWWT) - guns, social con issues, etc.
I'm pro-life too. So, anyhow.
I tweak RWS for the non-stop McCain love, but she's a fakey internet friend and she knows it ain't mean spirited. Sometimes the defense of the indefensible bugs me, mostly because I think it makes us pro-lifers look bad when we're willing to overlook things that are glaringly awful about the man. I've never been one of those "he may be a son of a bitch, but by God he's our son of a bitch" kind of guys.
Not that I know of.

"If you declare that Islam is more inherently incompatible with modernity, women's rights, or democratic pluralism than most other religions, then you have essentially stated that Islam is by far worse than most other religions on this score."
A question for Dean Esmay, his supporters, and anyone who cares to answer.
Are there any religions (including Islam) where you'd fear for the safety of yourself and/or your family if you wrote a mocking cartoon about the religion?
Lets say you wrote a book that pointed out flaws and issues with a religion? Is there a religion (including Islam) where you'd fear for a price being put on your head? How many religons, and which ones?
Now, presuming you answered honestly, and with some minor shred of understanding, you've now forced yourself to be banned from Dean Esmay's blog due to your dirty awful Islamophobia. That or you're so incapable of identifying a threat that you shouldn't be allowed outside without a keeper.

If it counts, RWS, I just farted.
Oh, and your kissing partner just said all our losses in Iraq were wasted.
I may not vote in '08 if this is all we can come up with....

"Ingracefully"? That's a rather nonfluiditudinous word, isn't it?
It's a perfectly cromulent word.

Dude, you could've at least given me a pity link. I mean, my own blog, The Queen of All Evil is quite cool. That's why I'm fairly inactive on Dean's and because I won't swallow his "rules" .

I tell people my girls got their good looks from me, cause their mom still has hers.
She loves it when I say that.

Using Esmay for kickball became OLD back in, um, 2004. No, wait, 2003. Uh oh - 2002.
So far behind he thinks he's in the lead.
*snort*
btw - I'd never call ya a homo, cause I really believed the description of you and Allah "crossing swords" really being all about prep for your next Society for Creative Anachronisms convention.
Really! It must be true - hey, I read it on the internets!

Ed Morrissey quoting Bill Simon: The mayor does not have a free hand in judicial appointments in New York City. An independent panel gives the mayor a choice of three candidates for each open seat, and the mayor has to select from those three. Rudy did not choose the candidates; he had to select one of three locked-in choices.

So they didn't take after me, huh, RE?
Dude, you sent me money so I took a mulligan on that little problem. I can't be having swarthy babies with back hair, I'm way too nordic looking.

And with a Democratic Congress, you think that will change how, exactly? We have a demonstration of who he picked for judges, and it ain't what he's pretending he would now.
Why would he anyway? "OK I want a judge that disagrees with my positions on every fundamental issue, yeah I'll pick a guy that I am opposed to for the job."
Sure he will. Great mayor, lousy President.
Posted by: Christopher Taylor at March 01, 2007 09:09 PM (wmgz8)
And with a Democratic Congress, you think that will change how, exactly?
Um . . . because the President nominates judges for the Senate's approval, not the other way around?
