Well, Kossack BlueJessamine and I have managed to keep the kiddie pool open this week while the boss is away at Netroots Nation. Tomorrow we get another installment of Awards Edition Plus, your one-stop snark shop for politics and the hacks who make us do teh facepalm.
But I need your help: it's no mean feat to give out the Golden Douchenozzle Award twice in one week, so I'm looking for your nominations.
Skip merrily with me over the fold and help me out....
Tomorrow in Awards Edition Plus: Cheers and Jeers in Exile Edition:
AEP Executive Editor Sirius the Cat speaks her mind on conventions, News of Dubious Veracity Department makes us wonder if fiction sometimes is stranger than truth, a cartoon from the AEP vault by Cartoon Editor ericlewis0 and of course.....
The Golden Douchenozzle Award.
The GDN™ is awarded to public figures and others in the news for rank hypocrisy and general asshattery.
Got a nomination? Submit the following in the comments:
--Name of the Nominee
--A brief explanation of why you are nominating the person(s) or organization
--Your user name so that we can give you credit!
Here are my nominees for tomorrow's award:
NC GOP Legislators who have voted to override Gov. Perdue's veto of the state budget so that they can eliminate funding for Planned Parenthood
SCOTUS who had decided that all a company has to do to avoid liability is to set up a shell company to take the blame.
AZ. State Senator Russell Pearce who insists that the folks who successfully gathered enough signatures to recall him are "outside agitators" and "Left -wing anarchists". Anarchists? Holy Sacco and Vanzetti, Batman!
The Staff of the Pavillion Public Pool in Hazard, KY who threw out an adult, developmentally challenged gay couple for a minor PDA 'cause, you know, That's What Jesus Would Do.
That's a nice start, but I sure could use some help! Got a nomination? Leave 'em in the comments!
See you at 9AM EDT for more fun and a splash in the kiddie pool!
Note to BiPM: all has been well this week. Weatherdude broke a lamp and someone vomited in the back seat of the Lexus but other than that, we've been behaving ourselves.--CM
Cheers and Jeers in Exile Housekeeping
