Ace of Ace of Spades HQ = George Costanza
I was reading through the comments on this post by Ace at Ace of Spades HQ and came across this one:
“Absolutely brilliant, Ace. Quitting cigs is enhancing your brain function!”

I’m a HUGE Seinfeld fan, so naturally this reminded me of the episode where George must give up having sex with his girlfriend for some medical issue she has (can’t believe I can’t remember what it was, I usually remember everything…). Well, George finds out that without having sex, his brain power has improved. Jerry speculates that the part of his brain he was using on a daily basis was analogous to a leaf of lettuce while the part of his brain preoccupied with sex 24/7 was the rest of the entire head of lettuce. So now that he is no longer preoccupied with sex, he has full access to the rest of his brain.
Well, I guess now that Ace is no longer on nicotene, we’re going to get even more brilliance out of him than we have been used to. Sweet!
And I say that in all sincerity. As many differences as I have with Ace on certain political issues, he is one of the best, insightful and creative bloggers on the conservative-leaning blogosphere, by far. If he truly is going to have a Costanza-type benefit from quitting smoking, this is a great thing for all of us.

Rorschach’s Journal. November 12th, 1985: Dog carcass in alley this morning, tire tread on burst stomach. This city is afraid of me. I have seen its true face. The streets are extended gutters and the gutters are full of blood and when the drains finally scab over, all the vermin will drown. The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout “Save us!”… and I’ll whisper “no.”

“You see, Doctor, God didn’t kill that little girl. Fate didn’t butcher her and destiny didn’t feed her to those dogs. If God saw what any of us did that night, He didn’t seem to mind. From then on I knew… God doesn’t make the world this way. We do.“

“And I am reminded, on this holy day, of the sad story of Kitty Genovese. As you all may remember, a long time ago, almost thirty years ago, this poor soul cried out for help time and time again, but no person answered her calls. Though many saw, no one so much as called the police. They all just watched as Kitty was being stabbed to death in broad daylight. They watched as her assailant walked away. Now, we must all fear evil men. But there is another kind of evil which we must fear most, and that is the indifference of good men. —Monsignor, Boondock Saints (1999)

“Never shall innocent blood be shed, yet the blood of the wicked shall flow like a river. The Three shall spread their blackened wings and be the vengeful striking hammer of God.” —Il Duce, Boondock Saints (1999)

“Now you will receive us. We do not ask for your poor, or your hungry. We do not want your tired and sick. It is your corrupt we claim. It is your evil that will be sought by us. With every breath we shall hunt them down. Each day, we will spill their blood till it rains down from the skies. Do not kill, do not rape, do not steal, these are principles which every man of every faith can embrace. These are not polite suggestions, these are codes of behavior and those of you that ignore them will pay the dearest cost. There are varying degrees of evil, we urge you lesser forms of filth not to push the bounds and cross over, into true corruption, into our domain. For if you do, one day you will look behind you and you will see we three. And on that day, you will reap it. And we will send you to whatever god you wish. And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be. In nomine Patri. Et Fili. Spiritus Sancti.” —Boondock Saints (1999)
