I never win anything.

All my sources were afraid to talk about you. One of them said I was to never mention your name.

Icarus April 1, 2009 at 3:36 pm

I thought the instruction they gave you was to always look at the ground when in my presence, and to never, ever look directly at me.

No, they said that about the Cherokee County delegation. About you it was just “don’t say his name — ever.” Something about anvils and pianos falling from the sky.

Oh, you’ve been reading the CL blogs again. Over here, I’m a leftist moderate. Over there, I’m a radical right wing nut job whose name shall not be spoken.

That, and when I get pissed, I tend to throw anvils and pianos. From ACME, of course.

Oddly enough, there were no Democrats on the list. I had no idea that party was so sanctified!

“Creative Loafing” is a warmed over “Great Speckled Bird”, devoid of feathers and full of worms.

Dang, still haven’t won one since 2001! I need another one to have bookends!

I was so dissapointed last year when they left me off the list of awards for almost the first time in 20 years. It is so good to be back.

I am particularly pleased with the characterization: “Deceptively Jovial”

These are more fun than any other journalistic screeds published all year.

If you are judged by your enemies; I am doing a good job for the people I represent. I am tempted to send these out every year in a campaign mailer to my constituents. It is good for at least a positive 5 point jump in favorable rating in my area.

Congrats Earl! Now you should shoot for becoming Keith Olbermann’s “Worst Person In The World.” :-)

“These are more fun than any other journalistic screeds published all year.”

I was hurt to be left off the list. That comment just finished me off.

“Deceptively Jovial”?

Wouldn’t that mean you look jovial, but really aren’t. I don’t buy it. You’re having way too much fun at your job.

We should tax that and spread it around to those who need more fun in their jobs.

I was astounded last year by the number of lawmakers who requested copies to bring home to their constituents. That’s why we aim to fill the stories with profanity and innuendo. It’s hard to say colorful words in front of the Zebulon Rotarians.

Congrats as well Earl! I wish I was on the west side of West Sandtown Rd instead of the east side (W. Sandtown is the line between Earl’s and Terry Johnson’s (D-Marietta) districts). When the libs aren’t bashing me, then I know I’m doing something wrong too!

That would upset Paul Broun into really saying something outrageous.
