I have once again been honored by the Watchers Council with a nomination for my Jan. 4 entry "My Congressman, Robert Matsui, Dead At 63". I'm hoping for a better placing than fourth this time around, but look at the thing's I'm up against!

Winds of Change Analysis of the Bin Laden Tapes

Jim Treacher's take on London and defending oneself without a gun

The Diplomad on The UN and the Dutch

I mean come on, Treacher, Winds of Change, the Diplomad? In the immortal words of Ace of Spades, Let's be honest, my entry stands as much of a chance of winning as Michael Moore does finding a scale in Wal-Mart that will take his weight.

(For more on Ace of Spades immortal words see this entry.)

I'm really surprised that someone didn't nominate my profound and world changing Jan. 4 entry "Changed The Battery In My Honda Civic", that nobody read, but I digress.

I am truly honored to actually be nominated, make the cut and be grouped with such great blogs even with no chance of winning.

Whomever is nominating me, thank you.
