Please make your choices in rank order in each category. I will begin. Once all the accounting is done, the loving cups handed out, etc., we'll open up a post in the style of the Village Voice's Pazz N' Jop Poll in which every one may comment on the reasons for their placements of the nominees on their lists. On the same post (Jan 6,2008?) we'll also allow for honorable mentions who failed to make either list.
To the blogger who endeavored to pass off Daily News-man Bob Raissman's "Dudes and Dweebs" as his own invention, we say "Happy New Year, much luck in your continuing career as a plaigiarist, and may your coffers be filled with the lucre of many 'cachaguecos (tops-only);' it's hard work but some...er...confused Right-Wingers have to do it. We understand that if you pretend you're a woman, it's not so bad (that we stole that line from the author James Lee Burke)." Here at Kelso's Nuts, and for the most part in the rest of Left-Wing Blogovia, if we borrow or steal, we attribute. Nothing wrong with acknowledging a debt to someone creative, everything wrong with passing it off as your own. I never expected less.
Barry Switzer Vase and Marcus Dupree Bolsa updates will follow once I catch up on my real work following the departure of Kelsos, Jr, Sr and Mere.
Kelso's Nuts love you

and a last minute write in vote for The New York Times and Bill Keller === for hiring William Kristol
Feliz Ano Nuevo mi amigo
D-CAPny:
The write-ins come on the 6th along with the discussion, which based only upon our two lists, should be a lively one. Bill Keller was certainly going to be one of my dis-honorable mentions, too.
I am flattered by your placement of me as #2 Dude of the Year, but I'm also a little embarrassed. I don't deserve it. I probably should have quoted General Sherman at the outset and wrote: "If nominated I will not run; if elected I will not serve."
This should be great fun as the lists come in.
You all better start voting, because if it's just me and D-CAPny, that'll leave me way higher than I ought to be and I will invoke Gen'l Sherman's quote. I DO NOT DESERVE TO BE EITHER #2 OR #14. FIND ME AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PILE.

I'd recommend more votes because I'm starting to feel more like Gentleman Johnny Burgoyne and less like General Sherman. If it stays this way, I will accept my high colocation.
