Just for the record, I consider myself an upbeat positive person, a fact which I fear the existence of The Platinum Douchebag Award may obscure. Why, some might ask, don't I have positive awards for people doing good? Since I spend more time being cheerful about the good in life than I do bemoaning the dark side of life, it's odd that I'm highlighting the negative. I'll give some thought to trumpeting the world's good-doers, but so many people I know are good-doers, and my reluctance to mention personal friends by name on the blog complicates matters. Lemmee stew on this and get back to you.
EDIT: The Alabaster Hoopla For Excellence has been created in order to provide accolades to persons whom I do not know personally but whom I wish to praise for doing good things. Also, the Lapis Lazuli Wishbone for persons whom I know and wish to give shouts out to. I'll give out the first ones soon... keep readin'!

Hmmmm... could you please e-mail the criteria? Any award with "platinum" in it would definitely look good on a resume... and hey, you said that you'd reveal the winner in your PL post you platinu- oops! Almost lost the temper there...
Dude, if fancy college dee-plomas and a huge inflatable polar bear aren't enough to get you ahead, a Platinum Douchebag for Excellence in Sucking won't tip the balance.
May I suggest the Golden Enema Bag as a runner-up prize? This could be followed by the Silver Colostomy Bag, and the Bronze Barf Bag. Just a thought...:-)

This is proof that I was paying attention during dinner.
I feel obligated to defend the honor of politicians from my great Commonwealth. Virgil Goode shamed us, and right on the heels of George "That's not a noose in my office, it's a lasso" Allen's worse shaming, but at least we have shown the latter the door. We have many fine elected officials here. At least as many as Alabama has.
Thanks for the comment on your blog - even if you didn't mention me by name. Good to meet you - you're adorable! Good luck meeting someone who thinks you're adorable in B'ham!
Hey sisters! I'm agast that you have found my blog and can discover what a geek I am. Anyway, as a resident of Alabama (of dogs, firehoses and Gov. Wallace fame) I'm well aware that one can't judge a whole State's contents on the basis of the rotten apples. And I didn't mention you by name because some of my associates act like I posted their social security #s if I mention them by name on the blog. But it's great to hear from you!
I'd like to point out that this is probably the first time any woman has posted a reply on my blog. I knew if I kept posting about comics, community theatre and amateur theological noodling, the gurls would come runnin'.
