— andy Please join the rest of the cobloggers and me in congratulating Ace for being named the winner of the first Breitbart Award for best blog:
The Heritage Foundation and Franklin Center for Government & Public Integrity will host an awards dinner this Friday in honor of Andrew Breitbart, the conservative firebrand who passed away earlier this year....
The Washington Examiner's Phillip Klein will take home the Professional Journalist award; Ace of Spades HQ will receive the award for best blog; and Andrew Marcus will receive the Citizen Journalist award. John Fund, the senior editor of The American Spectator, and Sonnie Johnson, of the Frederick Douglass Foundation, will speak.
I know the award is "technically" for the blog as a whole, but I really don't think my open thread Ewok signal or Gabe's morning headline comment posts had much to do with it. This one's all Ace's.
And it's only fitting since Andrew loved the blog and the Moron Horde's comments.

The cob-loggers do great work, but truth be told I come here for Ace's writing.

Breitbart is here !
A modern-day warrior
Mean mean stride,
Today's Tom Sawyer
Mean mean pride.
Though his mind is not for rent,
Don't put him down as arrogant.
His reserve, a quiet defense,
Riding out the day's events.
The river
And what you say about his company
Is what you say about society.
Catch the mist, catch the myth
Catch the mystery, catch the drift.
The world is, the world is,
Love and life are deep,
Maybe as his eyes are wide.
Today's Tom Sawyer,
He gets high on you,
And the space he invades
He gets by on you.
No, his mind is not for rent
To any god or government.
Always hopeful, yet discontent,
He knows changes aren't permanent,
But change is.
And what you say about his company
Is what you say about society.
Catch the witness, catch the wit,
Catch the spirit, catch the spit.
The world is, the world is,
Love and life are deep,
Maybe as his skies are wide.
Exit the warrior,
Today's Tom Sawyer,
He gets high on you,
And the energy you trade,
He gets right on to the friction of the day

This is the most backward blog on the web when it comes to the tech.
It is also the most unique locale, housing some outstanding reporting, some of the most witty, foul, intelligent and entertaining commenters.

Forgive me if this was already brought up, but does Ace go in person to pick up an award like this? He might be among friends, but we know there is an effort to "out" him.
Sorry if that's the first thing I thought of, rather than the honor itself, but we can't be too careful these days.
Posted by: BurtTC at June 06, 2012 10:27 AM (TOk1P)
Ace, now that you're a billionaire, could you get someone to fix the text entry box? Do that and you could go public at $4 billion! You're leaving $2 billion on the table, man.

179 -
Wizbang (I don't even know if that's around anymore) used to host awards in multiple categories, and it was divided by number of readers. Voting was very open, so it wasn't much more than a popularity contest.
I think the guy with the Balloon Juice site (not sure if that's around anymore either) hosted his own awards, with him doing the awarding. I seem to recall he was fairly snotty about it, but maybe my memory isn't quite right about it.

Wizbang (I don't even know if that's around anymore) used to host awards in multiple categories, and it was divided by number of readers. Voting was very open, so it wasn't much more than a popularity contest.
Wizbang was pretty decent until they tried to cater to the commie trolls by starting Wizbang Blue. Ruined everything.

"But, then what would I aspire to be?"
Aspirations can be replaced at that point with the occassional self-reflection, to make sure that you are maintaining your perfection.
Thought exercises to include:
"Are the middle-class paying enough in taxes right now?"
"What can someone else do to help that homeless guy I saw on the corner yesterday?"
"Is the state letting children eat too much ice-cream during summer months?"

"Ah, good point, reason."
Maybe it could be a multiple-piece installation. Allegedly they have one like this at the Dallas Museum of Modern Art. In the main foyer is an enormous tent-spike sculpture, complete with a huge rope strung from the spike to a corner of the ceiling. Allegedly, downstairs in the storage basement, the artist added the point of the spike coming through. I say allegedly, because this part is not part of the public display, but given as fact by the tour guides.
Ace's plaque could be like that. Only obviously not as dramatic.

"And fuck a bunch of swearing."
You say that like it's a bad thing.
My opinion is that the creative, artful use of profanities in political discussions like Ace and the cobs lead is much like the use of herbs and spices in a fine meal.
Sorta like the fine meal you'd find at a sketchy Indian restaurant located in a run-down strip mall in a "transitional" area of a medium-sized US city. Yes, that meal that, just hours later, has you planted on the toilet and clutching a trash can in your sweaty hands while you pray for a swift death.

Bravo, Ace!
When Ace decides in league with other bloggers to keep researching a story to its ultimate original source, his efforts warrant praise. /Breitbart's jab remains./
One aspect that helps AoSHQ stand out above other contending blogs is his willingness to keep the comments open despite other bloggers having retreated over the years into the comfort of selectivity requiring registration.
So in that vein of resisting change, Ace is the bitter clinger conservative advancing the American's right to free speech to any who are willing to go boldly on D. Eightchess file.
"Endeavor to persevere..." Lone Watie. Btw, all of the repetitive efforts to periodically register members hardly encourage either participation OR longevity of "members" at hotair, for example.
