— DrewM Gabriel Malor, co-blogger at the CPAC Blog Of The Year, is at CPAC and just broke the news.
Congratulations to a very deserving group....us.
I don't know who the other nominees were but I'm sure it was an honor for them just to be mentioned in the same category as us. As it should be.
Just remember from now on, when we post open threads, they aren't simply content free, time killers. No, they are award winning content free, time killers. Start showing a little respect!
I'm sure Ace will be along...eventually to say a few words but I just wanted to congratulate everyone here at the HQ and to publicly thank Ace for the chance to blog here.
Awards aside, I'm glad folks realize what an interesting space he's created here. He's put together an eclectic group of folks and given us more or less total freedom (the only instruction I ever got was "be newsy" and then he handed me the keys to his business) to do our things.
And yes, despite our fighting (but it's family fighting. A giant dysfunctional and violent family but family none the less), you guys are the best too. Andrew Breitbart said so so it must be true.
On that note of commodity comity [loose shit is still a feature, not a bug here], let us reflect on what this award really means...We're the best and the rest are losers!
With that said, Award Winning Open Thread (tm)!
For bonus award winning content, follow us all on Twitter.
Congrats to @aceofspadeshq @drewmtips @daveintexas @johnekdahl @conartcritic @maetenloch @slublog @lauraww @theh2 for the win.

And Ben too. And rdbrewer too.
BTW- Ace has a tip jar over to the left. Just sayin'....an Ewok doesn't eat and drink on awards and the blood of his vanquished competitors alone.

It'll never be
*quite* like it was in those great 'golden years' of 2003-2005, when we
were still a little bit more low-key and a tighter community, but it's
still pretty awesome how we've kept the same essential spirit going.
Those were the days I just lurked and didn't post. See how low the AoS standards have become?
Now - Val-U-Rite for everybody! Slainte!

Senator Feinstein: I'm not a lady, I'm a senator, and I'm not in sixth grade you know...I've been..
Me: Really? You're not in sixth grade? Earth to SkanK: It's been 70 fucking years since you saw the inside of sixth grade, you foul, hideous bitch from hell. And the only thing I want to see you "in" is a goddamned pine box, so I can spit in your pasty face and slam the goddamned lid!

I heard on WOAI (SA, Tx) that 50% of Texans didn't vote in 2012, which was a drop of 10% from 2008.
Could this be a big chunk of the 4M that voted McCain but not Romney?

Hello, my name is Sacheen Littlefeather. IÂ’m Apache and president of the National Native American Affirmative Action Committee.
IÂ’m representing Ace of Spades today and heÂ’s asked me to tell you in a very long speech which I cannot share with you presently because of time that he very regretfully cannot accept their very generous award and the reasons for this being the treatment of American Indians by the film industry.

It works, but tends to shoot dirty. If you shoot at a range (indoor range especially), check their rules. Some don't allow steel cased ammo.

Russian steel case usually goes bang just fine. Steel is tough on extractors if you shoot a lot, cleanup is difficult with the usual solvents.
Still, I'd pick some up anyway. Talk to someone who has a bit more experience with it, though.

I can confirm that for at least a little bit in 2003 ace had a blog.

I think it goes farther back than that, but damned if I know what the site name was

Oh, and special thanks to Dave in Texas for his WWII posts, which allowed me to post some even more obscure-than-usual comments. And a collateral hat-tip to Anna Puna for her/his (?) great contributions in that regard (adding to my reading list for gaps in my knowledge).
Oh, and also, it's been great to see how many dangerous, atavistic, scary gun-owners there are here - even to the point that a gun thread has been added (again, thanks, Ace). Even though most y'all seem to be these darn plastic-loving types with eyes only for black guns that shoot glorified .22s, so there's little time spent on old Soviet rifles or Garands that fire respectable, old-school big honkin' bullets.

Ace is a good writer, but he sucks at business. Apparently the Blog of the Year can't sell a condom ad in the comments section because we occasionally say "fuck".

By Sunday I predict a major policy rift at AOSHQ over female underwear styles.
What policy rift? It's simple - if they're on, take them off. If they're off, keep them off.

"It is best to avoid it. The steel case is not the big problem, the corrosive primer and the polyurethane coating are."
New commercial Russian ammo like Wolf and Tula isn't corrosive - the old pre-1980 surplus stuff is. The poly paint residue is only a problem if you go without cleaning your chamber for several hundred rounds.

You don't think some sex freak commenters around here wouldn't find issue with that? There are lots of guys (and gals) that get off on doing the old Seattle Waffleiron on the missus. You can't do that without panties, an MRE heater, and a jar of Nutella.

Ace has had several opportunities to increase his revenue stream.
But....at the expense of asking all us commentators to change our way of commenting.
Each and every time, the little knucklehead has chosen us over more money.
And that's why I get so pissed when someone comes in on a thread, and shits in the middle of Aces house.
Love him, or not, he has stood up for us, and our gregarious ways at actual monetary expense to himself.

You know, that reminds me of a John Barrymore story:
He was once asked, during an interview, "You've played Hamlet meny times in your career and have, I'm sure, studied the play closely. In your opinion, do you think Shakespeare meant to suggest that Hamlet and Ophelia had sex?"
Barrymore replied, "I don't know if Shakespeare suggested that, but I always do."

The trick is selling the space to advertisers who don't mind or are actively targeting people who say "fuck" in their comments.
Profits from the "Dead Hobo" series of collector coins at the Ace of Spades gift shop alone could have paid for a new website. Mugs, t-shirts and caps would fund a few Dominican Republic getaways complete with underage hookers.

Ummmm....no. If Ace tried to restrict commenting like that, the commenters that make the site what it is would leave. Ask where the Horde is from. Lots and lots of them ended up here after other blogs freaked out about comments. If Ace restricted the comments like the woman asked, the site would deteriorate and then no one would buy ads.

I honestly don't think anything will happen. Between now and the installation Mass, the Holy Father has an enormous amount on his plate in order to get up to speed. I don't know that, "Your Holiness, those two are the Vice President and former Speaker of the House of the United States. They both call themselves Catholic, but are pro-abortion," will be high on the briefing list.
But I'd sell my left nut for it to happen.
