Congratulations to Ace of Spades: He won blogger of they year at CPAC. That’s a choice I can live with. The way things have been going, though, you’d think they’d have awarded it to Andrew Sullivan… or Glenn Greenwald…
Here’s John Hawkins’s account of seeing Ace. I’ve talked to John Hawkins before, so it’s almost like I’ve met Ace!

I Could (possibly) Vote For McCain, IF…
I could (possibly) vote for McCain, IF… He does each of the following:
Ok, he doesn’t have to do all of them, just the first one and last two. The rest are just because I still bear such ill will towards him.
McCain/Thompson ’08!
The Lovable, Huggable President
Opinion seems to be that Obama is pretty unbeatable. Why? Because he’s so charming. He has no accomplishments and no more experience with foreign affairs than the average college student, yet there’s a good chance he could be elected president just because he’s so darn likable. If this strategy of nominating a nice looking empty suit works, expect future presidential elections to be between two plush toys (“Looks how adorable they are! I can decide which one to pick!”).
Just a reminder: We’re currently the most powerful nation in the world and the definitely leader at blowing crap up. Our leader should never be charming. He should be scary. He should appear in the nightmares of our enemies, eating their children. Diplomats should not want to meet with him unless they have numerous armed guards for protection. That’s who the leader of the most powerful nation should be.
At Least the McCain Nomination Doesn’t Just Suck for Us
Now that the Republican nominee is known but the Democrat one is still up for grabs, the DNC is already trying to rally their base by pitting them against John McCain. I’ve already gotten a couple “We must stop McCain!” e-mails from them. It’s kinda pathetic. That like trying to rally Republicans by telling us “We have to stop Joe Lieberman!”
