WINNOWING IN:
The Koufax Awards for "best lefty bloggers" (thus foolishly disqualifying many potential candidates at the start) has finally posted its ballot for Most Humorous Post of the last year.
I'm not voting myself, not even in the category of Most Humorous Blog, where I was nominated -- though it would be hilarious to see this un-humble and very un-leftist site steal a prize from them, since it might just demoralize their entire awards process from here on -- but I digress.
However, to save the invaluable time of my busy readers, I have nobly volunteered to read ALL of the ridiculously inflated list of sixty-nine entries, just to narrow down the choices for those of you who participate in such silly exercises.
To me, the five runners up were (in alphabetical order by blog name):
And the winner should be, or at least my own pick for least unfunny of all the listed nominees, is:
There, now you can just quickly vote for one of the very best, and get on with the many, many very important things you must have going on in your life if you're reading this now. Your appreciation can be shown by the usual wire transfers to my offshore account.

To me, the five runners up were (in alphabetical order by blog name):
- Fafblog!'s memos, hypotheticals, motorcycles (One of the finest pieces of symbolic surrealism since An American Dream.)
- Ladies Village Improvement Society's Crazy Train or Emotional Subway Attack (Not political at all, except to Blue Statists, but a fantasy many there no doubt have.)
- Pandagon's Insert Snarky Title Here (Note that you really must read all the comments there, which are an essential part of this complete self-referential satire of blogging.)
- The Poor Man's Poker With Dick Cheney (An example of the nightmarish projections liberals make about our upstanding leaders and media.)
- Rising Hegemon's Busy days at Crawford (Which shows that the country's security will really be in fine hands after the 2024 election, when Barbara's sister follows her into the White House.)
And the winner should be, or at least my own pick for least unfunny of all the listed nominees, is:
- This is the Life! (of Nathaniel Jones)'s Osama binconceivable! (A delicious rewriting of one of my favorite movies.)
