Asking for a clarification Frank and if this was explained earlier and I missed it my apologies.
Is the voting going to be counted as a total or are we to vote for individual slots?
My thinking is that while I would consider the dude worthy of a position I don`t think he should be DUmmy of the year but if he gets the most mentions he will be unless the votes are specified for a distinct position.
No matter regardless but will affect how many votes a person may decide to cast.
I am exercising my right to vote, as qauranteed by franchise, the mere fact that I have joined the CC.Voting is open to guests and non-members as well. :tongue:
one may vote privately via e-mail to Mr. Wiggum at cu_ralphwiggum@yahoo.com.
Voting is open to guests and non-members as well. :tongue:TY chris_, I agree.
And as always Diebold will be counting the votes.
Is campaigning so close to the polls allowed? :lmao:
Willie- Redstone, posthumously.
Beth's stupidity isn't going anywhere. She will be in the running for years to come.
Besides, it's not nice to pick on the mentally challenged.
Could someone please refresh my feeble memory on which DUmmy it was a few months back that was revealed to have claimed membership in almost every conceivable religion that there is over a period of just a few short years?

I just noticed there's no nomination this year for Adbot, a perennial contender.
I gotta ask, what's with all of these votes for Sarah Ibarruri for the Golden Bong?
I didn't take her tales as a bouncy. I think that her stories are true. No stretching or embellishment.
I would also like to echo: What's with Sarah and the Golden bong bouncy? She has told no bouncy tales! Are you referring to her dating a republican for a time? There was no elements of the bounce to that.
I personally think it wasn't true, which is the most basic requirement for a bouncy.
If it was true though, I would bet that she was hoping to eventually post a story of how she converted her Rethuglican bf to socialism, with a public confession of his on the DUmp, followed by his first bouncy when he went out to the grocery store and shut down a fundy Rethug with his new found "logic". Conversion and public beat down of Rethug? Check. But he was able to stand up to her bullshit and kicked her to the curb.

Willie - Redstone (I wrote a poem to him on his on-line memorial book explaining how stupid he, and liberals in general, are and he gave me the best response he could by keeping his idiot mouth shut. For that, he gets a vote.)
I know I get ten (10) votes for Top DUmmies of the Year. And there are the other awards, too. I'll do my other votes later, but for now I wanted especially to highlight Know-it-all Nadin as my TOP Top choice.
VOTE NADIN
NOTE: In the interest of liberal "fairness" I have tried, where possible, to avoid voting for winners of past awards, so that all could have an "equal opportunity". In a couple of cases I failed.....
I personally think it wasn't true, which is the most basic requirement for a bouncy.
frank, I've got to ask: For the Golden Bong, you give as criteria, "the most entertaining, the least credible bouncy, or bouncies." I think we need some clarification from the judges on this, and I refer specifically to the case of Sarah Iburruri. Her tale of the rethug boyfriend was clearly and highly entertaining, surely one of the most entertaining. But there are many of us who find her story to be at least mostly credible. Should that be taken into consideration?
What IS a "bouncy," precisely? Is it any supposedly real-life tale that we find interesting, whether factual, fictional, or highly embellished? I have always thought of it as one that is fictional or highly embellished. And so therefore I will probably not vote for SI for the GB.
What say you?
And then there is Dreamer Tatum's bouncy,which was an extremely entertaining send-up of the typical grocery-store bouncy, so good that it might deserve the award. It was meant to be satire, though, which puts it in a questionable place.

I've Been Missing for 6 months third try at Cure
This was my last chance, I had tried twice before.
Liver biopsy in 91 was Stage two, tried but was too busy trying to save my home from foreclosure to incapacitate myself like that
Second try, in 2006 ended with no sleep, food,or drink and dry heaving for 9 days before I hit the Emergency room.
Another Liver Biopsy last summer. Doctor gave me 6-8 years to live without completing treatment
Stage Four they start digging a hole to put you i, as that is all they can do for you.
Third attempt, I told my doctor's I wanted to use pot, even though I don't live in a Med Pot state, they looked the other way.
I MADE IT! I MADE IT! I MADE IT!
never had anything worse than semi-constant mild to sometimes moderate nausea. Big difference from last time.
Baseline (before therapy) viral count was over 12 million of those little virus' in every milliliter of my blood.
2 weeks after starting treatment, viral load blood test came back " NO VIRUS FOUND and every 2 week blood test came back thew same way.
so my treatment has a strong remission so far
5 months from now, if it still comes back, NO VIRUS FOUND
I"M CURED!
PS, anyone got a 1 ton dually with a big engine and a ball hitch that would pull my 28 ft sailboat from Nashville to the California Delta (back Bay between around August 1st or I will arrive there without my home. I'm being evicted because the people who own the land I'm on worry about me wintering in an uninsulated sailboat, when I've got snug electric heat with a gas back up. Oh Well, I have little contact with them anyway and my kids arere out there
The Broken Elbow
Trying to pick the best whiner in DUmmieland is like trying to find the best grain of sand in the sandhills of Nebraska. They all qualify! And there are so many of them! In DUmmieland, it's always the Daze of Whine and Poses. But to pick a whiner winner, I will go with . . .
Cyrano
His posts run together in my mind, but I do have an impression of him being especially whiny.
I'm still tug-of-warring with Tucker about the Willie.
Willie - Redstone (I wrote a poem to him on his on-line memorial book explaining how stupid he, and liberals in general, are and he gave me the best response he could by keeping his idiot mouth shut. For that, he gets a vote.)
I'd like to change my Golden Bong vote to Wiley50. I nominated him and forgot about him. He penned this tale in Jan. There were 11 months worth of bouncies to overshadow his tale, but it's just too worthy to overlook.
Note this is a bouncy.
Redstone got another vote. My vote must have some merit.
Of course.
My concern is that, given her constant cerebral degeneration into senility, this might be the last year she's a sentient being, and so we should hurry up and give her the award before she's too far gone to appreciate it.
There were so many good choices this year. I've settled on these:
WILLIE:
EFerrari
As GOBUCKS pointed out, though, it's really odd that, as nominations wound down, and voting geared up, some particular primitives of prominence were absent this weekend from Skins's island. One wonders what's up with that.Nutcase nadin is still in hiding! It's an honest-to-goodness attempt to tank the election. She's embarrassed to be singled out as the looniest of the loons, the craziest of the crazy. Sorry, nadin, as ye sow, so shall ye reap.
Nutcase nadin is still in hiding! . . . She's in hiding, in an attempt to avoid the humiliation of being designated Top DUmmy.
Sarah Imaboobie
DUmmie nadinbrzezinski is my choice for DUmmie of the Year. There, I've said it. I'm committed. The Rubik's Cube has been crossed. I will ride this horse till the cows come home and reach their tipping point.
Newbie:
MiddleFingerMom (Don't believe I've ever come across a post by her or any of the other nominees, yet her charming moniker alone is more than enough to get my vote)

That made me giggle immaturely.

Nutcase nadin is still in hiding! It's an honest-to-goodness attempt to tank the election. She's embarrassed to be singled out as the looniest of the loons, the craziest of the crazy. Sorry, nadin, as ye sow, so shall ye reap.
Of course, it could be an act of serenity, like when W went to bed at his normal early hour on election night, but I doubt it.
There is no serenity in nadin's world of evil conspiracy and imminent apocalypse.
She's in hiding, in an attempt to avoid the humiliation of being designated Top DUmmy.
I suspect the yenta should resign herself to her fate; accept, adapt, and move on.
I didn't vote for her because I have a practice of not voting for which primitive I think is going to end up the winner, so as to not make it too easy for the front-runner.
Last year, for example, I refrained from voting for the sparkling husband dude, because I thought he'd end up on top anyway--it was a total surprise to me when the miserable old bitch won instead, because I wasn't confident most were really aware of her vileness, her gross depravity, her evil. After all, she'd only ranked top primitive #19 the year before.
And the year before, I withheld my vote from the eventual winner, the greenbriar primitive, for the same reason; I wanted her to work harder to win.
This year however, it looks a little more clear-cut, and franksolich has already started writing the award for the Top DUmmie of 2011. I hope nadin enjoys reading it as much as I'm enjoying writing it.
I tried to give her a lot of exposure. Although some of us knew about her evil, evil ways, it was time for her to enter the center ring.
Oh she's going to win. Nobody else deserves it as much. If she doesn't, you can compare it to any number of historical travesties.1989 :mad:
Metallica not winning the 'Best Metal' grammy way back when.

1989 :mad:
I still have two open spots on my ballot. I'm not done yet.
Redstone for the Willie
Hint-hint. :whistling:
You know, franksolich is probably perhaps the only living person who's ever read every single word Doug's stupid ex-wife's ever posted on Skins's island since she first joined in November 2004.
It was one of my responsibilities as a member of Scamdy; to read all, because somewhere there inevitably were clues as to the nature of the mischief she was brewing during the Scamdal.
And of course after the Scamdal, I kept it up, so as to be on guard against any other silly business a madwoman would try.
(The guy from Scamdy assigned to read the Bostonian Drunkard eventually dropped out from sheer drunkenness, but that's another story altogether.)
I tell you, this woman's on the brink of fading away, and winning it next year won't mean a thing to her, because by then, Doug's stupid ex-wife will be utterly senile, lost to the world.
If/When nutcase nads wins the DOTY, do you think she could use her award as a reference to represent the National Dairy Council as a spokesperson? After all, she did elevate milk to a position of prominence at the DUmp. I mean, if I've learned ANYTHING this year, I've learned I need to stock up on milk before the next Japanese tsunami takes out a nuclear reactor. Or something like that. Well, I do remember she posted something about milk and it wasMPORTANT.
That would have been the episode where she and the nuclear submarine captain exchanged knowing glances as they frantically bought a store's entire inventory of shelf-stable milk.

The bitter old Vermontese cali primitive's inspired me to think about a "foot-in-the-mouth" award, and the sparkling husband dude's inspired me to think of a "laughingstock" award. We'll see.
I forgot to nominate Name Removed, a perennial top poster at the DUmp. Sorry. Real life gets in the way from time to time.
I'm writing him in.
Write-ins are acceptable, but to be honest, in the whole history of the Top DUmmies going back seven years, a write-in's never won anything, not even the bottom of the list.
However, what are you voting for Name Removed for? A top primitive, or one of the special awards?
Some of these races--especially last year--get so close, so narrow, down to a single vote, and hanging chads, trying to determine the "intent" of a voter, gets a little hairy.
NameRemoved for the Willie, I think. Other votes will be forthcoming.
From family and friends, both dead and alive.

Golden Bong well, since my Golden Bong choice (Firebrand Gary) didn't make it into the choices I guess my next favorite would be snoutport
I am still boycotting her.
For the broken elbow
Stinky the Clown
Nadin, you have impressed me deeply with your being switched on all year. Go, nads!
It seems almost a supernatural force, the yenta's passionate energy.
I'm abandoning my push to get Redstone crowned the Willie Winner.
I'm focusing on getting W8liftinglady to finish somewhere in the top twenty. If you're undecided on your number 10 vote for DOTY, give her some consideration.
Well, whereas I'd planned on giving the yenta my usual treatment when writing the award, now I'm planning on giving her the unusual treatment. That pisses me off, the way she lied like that, promising to stay away for a day, giving us a break.
Oh now, don't do that, not when you're on the verge of winning that one, sir.
Never trust a DUmmie, sir. You know this better than most. Honestly, I'm astonished it slipped your mind.
Well then we must pull out all the stops, mustn't we?
:killemall:
But you'd nominated him for the broken elbow award, madam, where he's at on the ballot, not for the golden bong.
The Straight Story.
My introduction to the straight story primitive was circa the autumn of 2004, when he took the wife, the child, and himself to New York City, a fistful of credit cards in hand.
They stayed at a moderately-expensive hotel in mid-town Manhattan.
He maxed out all those credit cards in a hurry. He was surprised at how expensive New York City was, and brought the family back to Ohio, utterly broke.....right in time for Christmas, and no money to buy the child something from Santa Claus.
I don't recall if the straight story primitive begged for funds from the primitives at that time, or if another primitive at that campfire suggested he do that.
Ahhhh, so TSS is one of those DUmmies who was taken advantage of by the dastardly credit card companies and millionaires and billionaires. Poor guy. He must not know how to read those agreements he signs.

My career as a Victoria's Secret model has also come to an end because of this latest incident as well.Those catalogs come here, about three of them per week, it seems.
Those catalogs come here, about three of them per week, it seems.
I have once in a while paged through them, so as to keep current on trends and tipping points in women's fashion.
It's very important to stay current.
Anyway, I examine these catalogs with great attention to detail.
I honestly could not tell you if the models have elbows, or, for that matter, arms.
What got me fired from that modeling job is the fact that my right elbow doesn't have full range of motion so I am not able to use my hands to do that push-up maneuver to make my boobies have that squished look that you men like so much.
:naughty:
And then there are those of us that look at the push-up, squished look as nothing more than the appetizer for the uncovered and naturally free "look" which, incidentally, is my personal favorite.
:-)
Natural, of course, has nothing to do with range of motion.
O-)
That sounds like moonbat fahion.
Nope, that is the final outcome of appetizer underthings when two are behind closed doors.

These troops and I would get nice and drunk, more often than not, and they would spend the later hours of the evening leaning into me to whisper the horrors they had seen and done into my ear.

Glad to see W8liftinglady reappear.
.....my hat is off to franksolich for enduring the massive undertaking of sifting through the legions of loonies on the island and paring it all down to the most deserving cretins for our scrutiny. Sheesh! Talk about picking up a turd by the clean end.....
Coulda fooled me! Gotta be a Kalifornican. Like, fer sure. Totally.
You people are really disappointing me, hardly any votes for Sarah (she has to be a mole) Ibuprofen! :(
By the way, you're doing well, I hope.
I've oftentimes thought about taking a poll among members here, to learn if anyone else besides you and I ever suffered a broken elbow. Not a fracture or anything, but a total complete breakage.
If any other decent and civilized person has, there's no doubt in this mind he or she bore it with a great deal of fortitude and stoicism, whining a great deal less than a primitive would with an ingrown nasal hair.
Yes. I broke my elbow when I was in kindergarten. Broke that sucker clean in half by falling from the top of a backyard swingset. Good times.
You people are really disappointing me, hardly any votes for Sarah (she has to be a mole) Ibuprofen! :(
You people are really disappointing me, hardly any votes for Sarah (she has to be a mole) Ibuprofen! :(
I cast one of my DOTY votes in her direction. Certainly not Top DUmmie material (yet), but I think she deserves more votes, too. Maybe you need to kick your electioneering up a notch. :-)
In what category?
Well, one can't tell how it's all going to come out just from this thread.
Remember, some vote privately, via e-mail to Mr. Wiggum, and there's another voting thread over at our old home.
At the moment, I'm guessing you-know-who is leading for the number one spot, but not in the landslide I'd expected, or feared, or dreaded, or whatever.
Well that's good, she just totally hogged the spotlight and she should've held back to give others a chance. Do we have to start affirmative actioning the candidates?
Actually, that's what I've been trying to do--please notice, madam, franksolich has posted very little, if at all, about the yenta, giving me more time to accentuate other candidates.
I've pretty much written the yenta's award--although I dunno if for Top DUmmie, DUmmie #02, or DUmmie #03; we'll see--but it has a lot of bad words, in Yiddish, so as to not offend the sensibilities of decent and civilized people.
This year I'm trusting BG. :)
I don't know any of the players here, but I did read extensively the rantings of dear Sarah thanks to the campaigning of BG. Good stuff!
I am going to support my friend, BG, and offer one vote this year and nothing more.
DOTY: Sarah Iburrari
Next year I will fill in a full and complete ballot based on my own personal knowledge of the players. This year I'm trusting BG. :)
You might want to change that, madam.
Ballygrl's promoting crazy Sarah for the golden bong award, not the top primitive.
It's pretty much a "given" that crazy Sarah's going to end up in the top primitives anyway, so if convenient for you, change your vote to that for the golden bong--although you're perfectly free to keep your vote for crazy Sarah for top primitive, too.
We don't want to confuse the vote-counter, Mr. Wiggum, as he has enough hassles anyway, with no time to try to decipher the "intent" of a voter.
That all being said, Ballygrl's a good person, a wonderful person, a delightful person, to trust.
Thank You Minky! I actually think Sarah's a mole so I find her amusing.
OMG! I think she should be the DOTY LOL.
Now I'm confused.
I thought you wanted crazy Sarah for the golden bong--remember the argument some pages back, where there was disagreement about whether or not her stories were bouncies?
Crazy Sarah's pretty much in for inclusion with the top primitives anyway, and so if you're serious about her winning the golden bong, too, be sure votes are cast correctly.
<<thinks the world of Ballygrl.
No LOL, I wanted Sarah for the DOTY, here are the people I voted for:
Well now, I am more confused than a pig sliding on ice.
How come you started that argument about whether or not crazy Sarah's tales were fact or fiction, then, since her bounciness wasn't relevant for the Top DUmmies award?
Remember, with nutcase nadin, you not only get the preposterous impending calamity, you also get the arrogant condescension AND the hilarious nadinese language.
She's the complete package.
Also, Ballygrl, please note that I *did* vote for Sarah Ibuprofen--she was among my ten votes, and even a #10 ranking counts as much as #1 ranking. Indeed, Sarah Imadummi was my #2 choice for DOTY, second only to Nosey Nadin.
VOTE NADIN
Adding a vote for Sarah Imaboobi (I love that, by the way)
Golden Bong:[/u] Sarah Imaboobi
Can I vote her in both places?
Last minute campaigning by a respected campaign manager really can make a difference, as coach proved last year.

Frank, that was me who started the argument, not Bally. I stand by my assertion that Sarah told no bouncies. I am aware that the polls are closed. Maybe I'm a purist, but I think bouncies have to have certain elements. Just having a Republican boyfriend is not a bouncy.
I am too overwhelmed by the craziness to pick just one.
Tell ya what, BEG . . . just copy my choices. :whistling:
You're ex-military; you'd know this stuff.
As I like to maintain rigorous accuracy when giving the background of winners of the Top DUmmies, naturally I've been looking into the potential winners, to see what I can discern of their socioeconomic status.
The yenta's a problem. Apparently she lives in an "average," or perhaps even "a little bit less than average," neighborhood in San Diego. Say, a place that was once "trendy," but now's slowly slipping down. Not a bad place, but a place that's seen some better days.
As you know, I have nothing but the utmost respect for the yenta's husband; no doubt he's a nice guy, one of the nicest guys one can ever hope to meet. And probably he has no idea, no idea at all, what his wife's up to, that makes he himself look bad.
Her husband once directed submarines through treacherous waters, for which we thank him; he attained the highest rank (E-8; I have no idea what that means) that a non-commissioned officer in the Navy can get, and as it appears to have been a pretty high rank, one assumes he retired with a reasonably good pension.
So the yenta has the opportunity to luxuriate, on this pension--if he does in fact get one--rather than getting callouses on her hands from honest labor.
Too, her husband works for the post office. He's not the postmaster of San Diego, but it's reasonable to assume he's much more than just a mailman or counter-clerk or mail-sorter. After all, his years in the Navy gave him much education, experience, and skills that would be wasted doing that.....and so one assumes he's somewhere in between the postmaster and the front-desk people at the post office.
Which further frees the yenta from having to fray her fingernails doing honest work.
There might be other benefits of being ex-military and in a reasonably high-level job in San Diego, but I have no idea what those might be--other than if they're there, the yenta takes full advantage of them, to the hilt.
One can only speculate, but what might those be?
My own expertise in this area is rather limited. The neighbor was in the Air Force National Guard for some years, and says the only benefit he got from it--other than, of course, maturity and doing his duty--was that his college degree (B.S. in mathematics) was nearly all paid for. He was always going to be a farmer anyway, but had this fringe benefit--paid college education--and so took it for fun, before he had to hunker down and work.
The senior business associate was in the Navy, active duty, six years, during the 1990s, and says the only benefit he got from it--other than, of course, maturity and doing his duty--was that his college degree (B.S. in accounting) was nearly all paid for.
But these are Nebraskans we're talking about; other than greedy union members in Omaha, Nebraskans tend not to be avaricious, not to grab as much as they can as fast as they can.
So one assumes that while the yenta's not among the Country Club set in San Diego, she's not among the trailer-courters either.....but she is closer to the County Club set than she is to the other end of the socioeconomic spectrum.
Any illumination you can give me, sir, would be appreciated.
If Nominations were still up, I'd put just Skimmer in without the other doofuses. It appears he has either intentionally, or mistakenly let the animals out of their cages, and they are seeking other alternatives. Why would he do this to the public? I believe it to be either stupidity, he has no moral compass anymore, or he's just plain evil.
Seriously though, letting loose the Primitives to scatter about the interwebz is a very bad thing. He knows not what he does.

But, the husband didn't get to E-9 by being an idiot.....

I really do not want to be associated with a site, where a valid discussion on the reality of this country, not just birthers, is hijacked.
Suffice it to say... from this day forth, I now have proof that yes it is also in the \"left.\" Yes, it is alive and well... and wiggling.
It is not a distraction... it is current reality, going back to the very real slave pens in Colonial America.
Have a good day.
Nadin, you have repeatedly called members here racists and then used their denial as proof they are racists. This isn't Salem circa 1692.
Please close my account...
given how a valid matter was hijacked, please do. I really do not want to be associated with this site.
I brought a valid issue... and there is more... the whole papers please, prove you are an American... show me ONE US President who has been subjected to that. IT WAS, IT IS racism.
Have a good life.

Good bye

This means nothing. Just throwing it out there for a peek.
I wondered, but I'd guessed wrong.
I'd guessed it was closer to half a million.
But still, that probably makes Doug's stupid ex-wife the champion lol'er on Skins's island, even though she's been there only since November 2004.
That many LOLs are worthy of a top ten finish.
For the Willie, the award given the DUmmie who’s done the most, throughout this year and past years, to enhance the reputation and good name of democraticunderground (i.e., a primitive who made Skins’s island look good, real good):

And finally, for the Top DUmmies of 2011; there’s two standards one can use when voting—(a) a primitive who especially impressed one, for any reason or reasons, during 2011 or (b) a primitive who’s usually been pretty reticent in past years, but it’s about time the primitive got recognized and rewarded for his or her yeoman’s work:

Bullet vote. :-)
Votes via DUFU at FR:
DOTY
Choose Ye This Day votes for Nads
And I don't know if you or frank caught this vote over at the DUFU at FR on Monday, by NYpeanut:
So, I’m sticking with my vote for Nadin.
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2819372/posts?page=25#25
As Nadin's campaign manager, I want to make sure I get this DOTY vote for her in before the polls close.
Comparable to butterfly ballot confusion in Palm Beach County, I must register a complaint about how the voting here has been INADEQUATELY--and some would say, UNFAIRLY--explained. To wit: Some are voting for my candidate, Ms. Brzezinski, for the Willie--or the Broken Elbow, or the Golden Bong. Which is all well and good. But some of these same people are NOT voting for her for one of the Top DUmmies! How can this be?? I think some have been laboring under the misapprehension that, if you vote for Nadsie for the Willie, for instance, you cannot ALSO vote for her for the DOTY!
I just know that if Ms. Brzezinski does NOT get Top DUmmie #1 for 2011, there will be hell to pay. We'll know the fix was in.
VOTER-VERIFIED PAPER BALLOTS! PUBLICIZE NADIN'S PLIGHT! DU IT FOR ANDY!
Okay, I'm convinced. I cast one vote for nadinletters for DOTY.
I added two additional DUmmies to my ballot and emailed a moderator. I never got a response.
Ten - [some putz], nadinbrzezinski. . . .
Nadin must win!
It isn't clear to me whether the ten votes for Top DUmmy must include ten individual DUmmies.
In recognition of our muslim President being a product of the Cook County democrat machine,
one should be allowed to cast ten votes for a single DUmbass.
If nadin doesn't win, couches will burn in the streets.
