Thank You Minky! I actually think Sarah's a mole so I find her amusing.

But you need to correct her, madam.

She voted for crazy Sarah for top primitive, which is okay.

You wanted her to vote for crazy Sarah for the golden bong.

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.

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?

You sure it was me who started an argument? For some weird reason I think Sarah is a mole, but if I didn't think that I didn't doubt the validity of her thread on the Republican boyfriend who treats her nice boyfriend.

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 Change

I still believe snotspout's bird funeral is the funniest bouncy in years, but he's no longer with us and cannot enjoy the honor.

So, I change my vote for Golden Bong to Sarah Imaboobi.

There's no way a nut like her has a boyfriend for longer than it takes to say wham! bam!

Last minute campaigning by a respected campaign manager really can make a difference, as coach proved last year.

You know, I consider that my most-impressive accomplishment ever, here.

Catapulting the wretched Anne from Top DUmmie #19 in 2009 to Top DUmmie of 2010; yanked her up eighteen rungs on the ladder, clear to the top.

Nadinthebrain for sure.  IMHO, she wrapped up the DOTY with Japanese radiation crisis. But did she quit, rest on her laurels? HELL NO! She jumped out to an early lead and just kept putting more and more distance between her and second best. That, my friends, is dedication. Dedication taken to a zealous level. Heck she looking at DOTY 2012. I think her crazy is going to 11.

This year is not even close.

When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

My votes:

willie
Nadinbrzezinski.
It was a tough decision between gonads Brzezinski, Omaha Steve, and the ever whiny Stinky the Clown, but in the end I believe that Nadin's sheer amount of work spotlighting the brilliance of liberal thought process put her over the top.

newbie
Snoutsport
This was another tough choice for me.  Snoutsport and his corn nut lunch outrage and multi-hour beatdown from a student vs. a college student who, after one semester, has become the world's foremost authority on the merits of communism.  His schooling of DUmmies who haven't joined him in welcoming a totalitarian state was especially entertaining.


broken elbow
Stinky the Clown
Although Omaha Steve cast a great light on belligerent union members everywhere,  I'm casting my vote for Stinky the Clown.  That little bitch whines more than a preteen girl.  It was his constant moaning about everything from Conservative Cave to SDuderstadt calling him dude too much that pushed my vote to him.  His crying in the ATA forum about the word dude was classic.  Recently he used the Pam Dawson method of bragging on his wealth by complaining about his two expensive espresso machines.  He's pathetic but funny.

golden bouncy
Horse With no Name
The resident pecker checker really made me laugh with some of her tales this year. She tells bouncies like nobody's business.  I especially liked how careless she was when telling the stories of her daughter's car repo.  She wasn't smart enough to use the nadin search feature to check her facts.

Top DUmmies of 2011
Bobbolink - miss her
cali- walldudding herself was priceless
DainBramaged
Horse With no Name
iverglas- disbarred Canadian lawyer who loves stirring up the gungeon. 
Nadinbrzezinski - for all she's done this past year to provide hours of entertainment. I give her extra points for going to Andrea's place and telling people they were racist if they referred to Obama as anything but President Obama.  For ****s face!
NNN0LHI
Omaha Steve
Stinky the Clown
Tavener
- I'd donate my airline miles for a one-way trip to North Korea for this one.

Chitown, I enjoyed your little write-ups!

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.

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.

Coach, if he retired as an E-8 or E-9 (more likely, if he was the highest a NCO could go in the military), he'd have access to free medical care on post, PX priveleges (which can be substantial on groceries), the NCO Club, etc.  He'd also have a wealth of contacts all over the country--probably the world--that he could call for assistance if he ever needed it, on almost anything.  Seeing that he's a submariner, NHSparky would probably be in a better position to answer this.  Sparky, if I missed anything (and I most likely did), please chime in.

'Course, one does have to remember that ol' Nadin tends to . . . "embellish" things.  It's just as likely that her husband left her because of her pompous, condescending attitudes and has found some drop-dead gorgeous beach blonde to shack up with, and ol' Nads is receiving alimony.  But, the husband didn't get to E-9 by being an idiot, so he probably feels that the alimony is a small price to pay for getting Nadin out of his house, and a really hot young blonde is worth the bullshit he's had to put up with all these years.
