As Penn and Teller taught us, all awards are like the YMCA banquet. That said, if Radley Balko doesn't take the watchdog, the meaninglessness of the Sammies will be especially conspicuous
SECOND! I think Radley would qualify for the watchdog and blogger. I think we should do as much as we can to make sure he wins.
Thanks for coming in today.
I wonder what Hannah Giles will wear.
Anyone think Lobster Girl will be nominated for anything?
Best side boob, of course.
(too obvious...)
She should be nominated for everything!
Let me reiterate my disdain for Jeneane Garofalo.

Does the winner get a bottle of Sam Adams Utopias?
"The man who dares to rebel against the laws of a republic ought to suffer death."

Chicago in February! Wow! Hope I win!!!
It will be warmer than the olden days, so sayeth Dear Leader.
Are you serious?
winners will be flown to Chicago
Isn't that like holding the Tree Hugger of the Year award ceremony at Three Mile Island?
So Rand Paul is now leading his Republican US Senate primary by 19 points 44-25 over secretary of state Trey Grayson.
Does anyone at reason care?
