Thanks to DU and the Entire Civilized Blogosphere! --->>>

The internet bully who attacked and harrassed our dear friend Andy was SOUNDLY DEFEATED in the Funniest Blog category, thanks to all of you! Not just DUer's, but decent people from all over the internets were outraged that such a cruel and vicious blog was a contender in the humor category. On Sunday night the bully was winning the poll. Today, he has LOST by 10,000 votes! And even though the bully and his pals worked feverishly to hack the vote, today he is nothing but a LOSER.

Thank You All!

2. unfortunately
A blog that denies a problem with global warming has won the best science blog award, since the poll was freeped.

25. TAKE HEART.
From the website for the awards:

"RESULTS ARE NOT FINAL FOR THIS POLL! This poll is still being checked for excessive voting from individual machines. If excess voting is found it will be noted and the votes will be removed. The winner should be announced Monday."

Looks like they might be taking the FreepBot Voting Cheat seriously.

21. In the interest of "fairness", I actually glanced at his blog before voting against it...
Good LORD, what a pitiful pile of anti-funny crap.
Just unbelievably Gawd-Awful. I have no words.

I MIGHT have had words before, but I'm sure I lost
IQ points looking at what that lifeless loser tries
to pass for humor.

The guy makes Dennis Miller look like Carlin.

23. Yeah, I took a look too
And was reminded that a while back a post of mine had been the subject of his daily masturbatory angerfest sorry, comedically-intended monologue.

For others who have been so honored, I would suggest they take heart in the contribution they have made to the reduction of animal cruelty.

You see, prior to the advent of these internets, guys like this could only exorcise their demons by shaking their fists and screaming "Commie! Pinko! Bastard!" at some poor, mangy dog that they'd tied to a table leg.

18. Just spreading the news.
Since the winner is too gracious too boast, and the loser is too defeated to mention it. ALLOW ME. :)

26. I believe my computer was used by Freeper land - the first time I tried
To vote - I was told that I had voted earlier in the 24 hour period.
