Tobin S., the Tobe, Guatama Toby the overall-wearing Buddha
The big three--Skins, the elusive enigmatic Elad, Lord Marblehead EarlG--are listed as one; as with previous practice, it's okay to nominate a "group," as long as the group's clearly defined. I believe the Barack Obama Group and the Four Horsewomen of the Femapocalypse were among Top DUmmies in previous years, but I forget when and am too lazy at the moment to look them up.
I'm exercising one of many prerogatives Mr. Wiggum and I reserve for ourselves, that of removing Skins from consideration for Top DUmmie (as an individual; he remains on the ballot as part of the big three), and from consideration for the William Rivers Pitt award. Also, the hacker, alleged or real, for consideration as a Top DUmmie.
^^^for eminently good reasons which will become clear as I give out the awards.
