Applause please

By Libby

Mad props to our long time favorite Mad Kane for receiving the 2008 Robert Benchley Society Award for Humor, along with a handwritten note from Bob Newhart. She certainly deserves the recognition.

John Cole has created a new award for media morons that may not be safe for work. His first awardee clearly deserves the 'honor.'

I feel like sending this judge some flowers for making this wise observation from the bench, where he presided over a trespassing case against some people trying to make a citizen's arrest of Karl Rove.

There's no award associated with this project yet, but I bet they could borrow a trophy from John Cole once Josh finishes tracking the media complicity in McCain's smear attacks. I'm betting a clear winner will emerge from the statistics. You can help.

And kudos to those wise respondents who voted correctly in this poll. Add your voice.

"Whoever can speak, speaking now to the whole nation, becomes a power, a branch of government, with inalienable weight in law-making, in all acts of authority. It matters not what rank he has, what revenues or garnitures. The requisite thing is, that he have a tongue which others will listen to; this and nothing more is requisite. The nation is governed by all that has tongue in the nation: Democracy is virtually there."
