Cool News, and Thanks

Amazing news from Luxland: I actually made it into the top five in the Air America blogger contest. Thanks very much to those of you who were kind enough to support me, I really do appreciate it. Given how awesome my fellow finalists were, I am honestly blown away that I'm on the list, congrats to all of you. (And they are all such good people, I guess I'm going to have to cancel my plans to get friends of mine to do multi-million dollar independent expenditure attack ad campaigns against them.) You can check out the Air America announcement here. I'm so proud.

It's too soon to do any campaigning, but I would sure appreciate your vote. Voting has started this evening, and you can click here to cast a vote for me in the 2nd round. I won't go wind-surfing, though, or let Digby try to swiftboat me, so I will be back to make my pitch to vote for me soon enough.

I'm surprised about the strong showing of Karl Frisch. (0.00 / 0)
A Senior Fellow at Media Matters for America? I go to that site quite often, but I can't remember the name. Where do all the people that voted for him come from? And can't he simply pay for his own cruise?

And then, is this Joe Jervis really that much more popular among the LGBT movement than Pam Spaulding? Strange.

Hmm, how is this vote safeguarded against fraud, btw?

OK, Mike, I'll do it... (0.00 / 0)
... but on one condition: Every morning you have to sing the International before breakfast. I don't actually know the words myself, but I'm sure you can find them on the intertoobz somewhere. I do know it's a catchy tune, if a bit dated.

Either that, or La Bamba. In the style of the original Vera Cruz version, which is much funnier. The choice is yours.

I know, maybe Woody Guthrie's "Ballad of John Dillinger." Yeah, "some people rob you with a six-gun, some with a fountain pen." OK, that'll work too.

Deal?

Godspeed to you, man.

(And yes, this is meant in jest.) (Isn't it sad I have to point this out parenthetically?) (Personally, I'm against brackets, but that's just me.)  

When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men living together in society, they create for themselves in the course of time a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it.

Doesn't mean I'm not going to stop growling at you, however.

All I think Digby would have to post is Lux Suxs. (0.00 / 0)
I know that wouldn't be a fair fight. But, it is what it is.

No boat is needed just votes.

Aw, come on, what a cheap pun! (0.00 / 0)
And I'm sure that the Hullabaloo lady would never sink so low. Btw, she hasn't even posted about the next voting round yet. Makes me wonder how she managed to get into the finals, with such a laid back attitude about this. Did she have some help from Atrios, or another high frequency site? Anyway, good for her. She deserves to be in the top five. Just like Mike.
