AoSHQ Podcast: Guest, @TheRickWilson

Note: We moved the podcast to a new URL recently, and everything worked right except for the iPhone/iPad podcast app. If that's where you listen and you don't see recent episodes in the episode list, unsubscribing and then re-subscribing should do the trick.

Republican media strategist Rick Wilson joins Ace, Gabe and John to discuss the crazy goings on this week.

This is probably the last episode of the year, and we wish all our listeners a happy holiday season. See you in 2015.

A Politico profile of Special Guest Villain Rick Wilson:

http://tinyurl.com/nrj96f3

Media Matters for America took Wilson to task and called on his clients to boycott his firm for a tweet that was "both offensively violent and sexist":

"Aside from the fact a gentleman doesn't hit women, explain to me why the [Media Matters for America] boys don't get curbstomped fortnightly?", Wilson tweeted.

The Media Matters post was updated after Wilson complained he wasn't offered a chance to comment. His quote: "You are humorless, gutless drama-queen hacks who lack the intellectual integrity God gave the common rat."

32 So..
Does Mr. Wilson have any advice for the horde who have blogs that need media promotion?

A strategy for being noticed? What can we do that will attract 'the media' so that we can raise awareness for a conservative point of view? Or do we have to pay market rates for ad buys?

I have noticed a major uptick in thinly veiled pushes for alcohol prohibition via UK media and UK government.

From what I can tell, it's Big Mosque behind it.

And since France has the same issues as the UK with regard to having allowed Big Mosque to get political traction there, this probably is just the start of the process.

My understanding of the matter is that beeswax candles are the culprits here. They melt at considerably higher temperatures and the drips will immediately and badly blister skin.

Are you sure it's beeswax that's the culprit?
My understanding is the higher the stearate content, the higher the melt point. And 100% beeswax melts at a low temp.

104 Are you sure it's beeswax that's the culprit?

My understanding is the higher the stearate content, the higher the melt point. And 100% beeswax melts at a low temp.

This is getting too Sciency. Just use a steak knife.

An anti-establishmentarian, Wilson loves the way social media and the Internet have democratized politics. A PowerPoint hes presented includes a slide that reads, POLITICAL PARTIES SUCK. What part of dysfunctional, wasteful and incompetent are we supposed to love?

Another slide, illustrated by a mushroom cloud, says, if you think attack politics is wrong, amoral, corrosive, destructive or just plain evil ... seek other employment.

The last slide instructs: HAVE A REAL LIFE. You can live in politics all the time, but not well. Go places. Have kids. Buy a dog. Get a hobby or six. Travel. Build things. Cook. Stay interesting. Keep reading.

Hope you have a wonderful Christmas Week. Don't forget to light the
first lamp at 5:00! If anyone has any good Christmas Week miracle
stories, I'd love to hear them.
==============
I got meaningful presents for qualifying friends family without going higher than $35 per gift, and prob'ly $15 on average, which is miracle enough this year.

==============
Because he doesn't care about national security, and if you want him to care, you have ask a lot. Maybe as long as4 months, according to the people who wanted to bag Bin Laden.

116 Went to grandson's school Christmas Brunch this AM. Saw a young troop in camo, he almost looked like he should have been in the school. I checked the uniform and concluded he was real, and went over to thank him for his service. His dad was sitting next to him and said "He just got off the plane this morning!"

I said "The country appreciates your service, but I wish we had a better CiC for you to serve under."

His dad said "So do I!"
