Appearance on The Needle
— Ace

Which is a podcast by SnarkandBoobs and Caleb Howe. I was on there just a little while ago, from 1:15 to 2:15, and it's posted now. So here is the blogging I would have been doing between 1:15 and 2:15.

Here's the thing: You can barely hear me. I'm on the phone and I sound like a Charlie Brown adult. Waa-waa-waa-waaah.

The topics are Delaware stuff, BlogCon, masturbation, my first "DC Dinner Party" with special guest Michael Barone, DC closing down at 10:00, the hot chick in the Jets' locker room, people who Tweet stuff to each other at parties while actually present with the person they're tweeting to, and Justice Breyer's odd claim that the First Amendment might not cover the burning of the Koran. Mostly nonsense, then.

In case you were wondering, I never blog about this stuff just because I don't think it's appropriate. I know other bloggers mention "I was here, I was there" and stuff, I just always think: Who cares. But if you do care there is some stuff about that in the podcast.

17 As awful as you sounded on the phone, Ace, at least you weren't as nearly annoying as the chick. Her simple sentences liberally peppered with "uh" and the grating voice ^UP at the end of a comment combined with her nasal delivery is what made this bit excruciating to listen to.

Posted by: Commissioner Gordon at September 15, 2010 01:10 PM (L00d6)

51 She's not a very good interviewer. Too much like a personal phone call -- not well-planned. Not that I could do better, but that's not my profession.

Say what you will about Imus, but he conducts a very good phone interview.

Posted by: Y-not at September 15, 2010 01:12 PM (osFsP)

Hahahah! Oh shit. So the BIG DNC announcement? A new fucking logo and website!

It's at Hot Air so just wait 15 mins and ace will link it.

Good funny right there! Okay now I have to make a tinkle from laughing so hard.

I think some that money could buy some nice juicy ads that educate the voters of Delaware about the Bearded Marxist and how the Marxist will vote lock-step with the current crop of leftwinger lunatic liberty kill in congress .

70 OK, it's a pretty dull interview. I stopped listening partway through so I only heard a tiny bit of Caleb.

She should have let ace rip for 10 minutes instead of interjecting little asides and inside jokes and giggling. He never got on a roll.

75 O/T: Michael Steele on post-primary unity and helping O'Donnell win.

NRO: Will you be doing anything to nudge Mike Castle to endorse her?

Steele: Look, I encourage it because I believe in a unified party. I understand the sting of losing. I understand the sting that comes with a loss like that. Mike Castle is a buddy, and IÂ’ve been involved in some of his campaigns in the past, as a neighbor in Maryland. So yeah, that part of it hurts personally for me. But this is a time where we kind of husband that feeling and we go out there and we recognize that this battle is bigger than one election or one individual. This is about our country, this is about our state. This is a chance to take a message that I think the people will trust again. I donÂ’t want that to get lost in the politics of whoÂ’s up, whoÂ’s down, who won and who lost. The primary is over. It is now time for every Republican in all of those contested primaries yesterday to rally around the nominees of our party for whatever office and to say that this now, is our moment to regain our footing and trust with the American people.

Sorry to break it to you... but Ace IS a fast-food ordering speaker clown, wearing a human skin. Which, I believe, he harvested from a freshly-killed hobo. (Which, in turn, explains why he has to harvest a new hobo skin every so often.)

No. It's a lowercase r in a square.

Yeah, with Ace speaking through a waterlogged garden hose and Caleb speaking via CB radio, it's a feast for the ears, ain't it?

The sound quality is a function of Ace's leather hockey mask and the fact that his attendant hooked the microphone to his straitjacket collar.

Well you could go back and read the comment on public speaking & interviewing ability.

So when I said 'public speaking', I meant, well, 'public speaking'.

It's outright rude to come into someone's house and shit all over their carpet.

Posted by: ace at September 15, 2010 01:40 PM (KUUXH)

120 They just take themselves TOOOOO seriously:

Sadly disappointed with this logo. The mark doesn't have much impact. Archer is too playful of a typeface for me, and Gotham is becoming overused after Sol Sender/Scott Thomas used it so well & knocked Obama's presidential campaign advertising out of the park in 08. Just my two cents.

Yeah, bud. Keep your .02 and hope it earns interest. Clowns to the left of me......

You didn't sound nervous. You sounded waterlogged.

122 just so everyone knows, lacey's valiant defense aside, you are allowed to bust chops. Like I said, I am going to try to do more of these to get out the "likes" and "ums." When I get to the meat of the thought I start rolling a little. But the "likes" and "ums" are bad.

131 Ace, you don't get it about gay men and the Power of the Rack: they understand it all too well, and it's one reason why a goodly number of them want racks of their own.

Whatever happened to Fay Wray,
That beautiful, satin-draped frame?
As it clung to her thigh
How I started to cry
Because I wanted to be dressed just the same....

I didn't listen to it but I'm going out on a limb to assume ace sounded just fine.

The sound quality is unreal which is why ace made fun of himself. You really should collect some data before going off on the rest of us.

Hey if you want to make gross assumptions about people you don't know and use that as a way to invalidate any constructive criticism they might have; Then what you will find is, generally speaking, most of those that spend 2/3 of their time on the internet are not qualified to opine on any topic whatsoever and should be summarily ignored if you don't agree with them.

The Dem logo looks like a view from the bottom of a well, looking up and seeing the "D" brand plummeting down on you. From that point of view, it's very clever and appropriate.
