I am at a loss. Someone was kind enough to nominate this blog for a Koufax Award for Best State and Local Blogs (non-candidate). Dump Bachmann was also nominated from Minnesota. Having never been nominated for anything ever...
Well, that's not quite true. In 1988 I was nominated to be treasurer for the student council for the south eastern district of Minnesota. I was nominated as a prank by a guy who was mad at me because I criticized him to his would-be girlfriend. I went on to win the election, which meant I got to miss a fair amount of class days, which was good. I also met a girl from Pine Island, which led to a huge spat that cost me my best friend, but gained an Iraqi immigrant (who I had unwittingly caused to sin the first day I met him) a date to the Prom.
No, I'm not kidding.
Anyway, it's a huge honor and I'm very grateful for the nomination. I'll post a link for voting when it's available.
