Gold: The Facebook prayer group from Marysville, Ohio and their million ‘friends’ take the biscuit today. They unite on bent knee, eyes scrunched in concentration, wish…er praying really really hard that the worst thing possible will happen to our President, his wife, and their daughters. The only solution is an unholy war in cyberspace or heaven, if you will. A million ‘friends of the opposite inclination must send reverse imprecatory prayers right back to intercept ’em. Huzzahs for freedom of speech, regardless how blindingly stupid and flat out evil it may be…Amen.
Silver: Yancy Terrell Cochran of Davenport Iowa. Cochran’s the kind of friend to have, up to a point. Full of good intentions, and plenty of $50. bills, it seemed a snap to bail a friend out of jail who’d let some traffic tickets slide. Oh, about those fifties, it’s a funny story about how Yancy found out that he just doesn’t have the attention to detail for his chosen profession.
Bronze: The Fox News Publicity Department, for their full page ad in – where else, The Washington Post. The ad includes large photos of the big Fox names: Bret Baier, Shep Smith Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity, and Greta Van Susternen. There’s a strange sensation of playing Where’s Waldo – er Glenn Beck?
