Congrats to Ace of Spades, Blogger of the Year

The lone big-time national blog we deign to include in the NVTH blogroll has just won Blogger of the Year award at CPAC.

Read about it here, at his own blog where the praise is so effusive it’s positively Athenian.

The blogger Ace of Spades (or, as he affectionately known by the Washington Times’ Inside Politics column, Ace of Spaces) is – despite his legendary Tarantino-esque lifestyle – a genuinely nice, soft-spoken and intelligent guy.

In an undeniable display of cohones, he took the plunge a couple years ago and gave up his day job to become a professional, full-time blogger, which is very, very hard to make work numbers-wise. Now, I don’t know whether he’s drinking single-malt or rail brands these days, but the quality of his commentary and the blog as a whole are in the highest echelon of the blogosphere. It’s a thrice-daily stop for me.

Congratulations, Ace, it could not have gone to a more deserving guy.

UPDATE: My man.

  • Quote of the New Year

    Last March, NASA reported the oceans have been cooling for the last five years. Sea level has stopped rising, and Northern Hemisphere cyclone and hurricane activity is at a 24-year low.

    Environmental extremists and global warming alarmists are in denial and running for cover. Their rationale for continuing a lost cause is that weather events in the short term are not necessarily related to long-term climatic trends. But these are the same people who screamed at us each year that ordinary weather events such as high temperatures or hurricanes were undeniable evidence of imminent doom.

    Now that global warming is over, politicians are finally ready to enact dubious solutions to a non-existent problem. In Britain, Parliament is intrepidly forging ahead with a bold new plan to cool the climate, even as London experienced its first October snowfall since 1934 and Ireland went through the coldest October in the last 70 years.

    This is an absurd spectacle. Our advanced civilization is being systematically mismanaged by technologically illiterate lawyers responding to political pressures from irrational fanatics. Would someone please tell these people it is impossible to overturn the laws of thermodynamics?
