Annual Awards

Since everyone else seems to be handing out awards at this time of year, it seemed only fair that we do the same. Ergo, the following awards, for the causes noted, are awarded.


Left-Wing Nut
To the person who comes up with the nuttiest idea for advancing the Socialist causes of the left.
A tie: Howard Dean & Wesley Clark. These two want to be President? Of what? The United Socialist States of America?


Right-Wing Nut
To the person who comes up with the nuttiest idea for advancing the Fascist causes of the right.
AG John Ashcroft. He actually intends to enforce that ill-begotten Patriot Act?


Global Whining
To the person or organization guilty of the most egregious whining and moaning, usually about things that are either none of their business or that they should be doing for themselves.
Former VP Algore, who still hasn't gotten over his inability to steal the 2000 election.

Henry Waldo Award for Literary Excellence
The only award NOT actually given. For the most egregious mangling of the English language.
No doubt about it: Geraldo Rivera gets this one, hands-down, for using "effort" as a verb.
Fox News Channel's Catherine Herridge gets honorable mention for pronouncing "vignette" as "vig-net". (And she does such a great job otherwise....)
