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.

She's obviously not going to end up top DUmmie of 2011, but I'm still hoping she ends up in the top ten, so that I have to write a special award for her (DUmmies #11-20 get one award combined; each of the top ten get their individual award), because I still have a lot to say about Anne.

[Telecon]

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.

Metallica not winning the 'Best Metal' grammy way back when. 

Any number of boxing decisions.

LSU vs. Kentucky in 2002.

You get the drift

I still have two open spots on my ballot.  I'm not done yet.

At this point, I don't see where it's possible for the yenta not to win.

However, she did cripple herself by her campaigning "too much;" if she'd been a little more modest, she would've won in a landslide.  But she overplayed her hand, and is probably going to win only by a decent margin, but not by any landslide.

Sometimes one can overdo things.

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.

Well it's not like Redstone will be elated or dejected either way. Just he fact that he got the big mausoleum should count for something.

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 was IMPORTANT.

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 like to consider an award for any/all primitive(s) that fell over dead during the year.  Call it "The World's A Better Place Because You're Not Here Anymore" award.

Casting my ballot(s) in no particular order:

Willie--Stinky the Clown

Newbie--Sub Atomic

broken elbow--nadin

golden--11bravo

DOTY:

boblink
EFerrari
kpete
nadin (who I hope wins going away)
Omaha Steve (perhaps he can parlay this into a job?)
Proud2blibKansan (send her a certificate to put on the wall of her classroom)
Raven (rooting for my NH homegirls!!!)
Stinky the Clown
Taverner
Will Pitt (ever find out who dimed you out on that plagairism of Douglas Adams?  I'll give you a hint--ME, mother****er.)

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.

[Karin]

OK, here's my ballot:

Willie, for who burnished the reputation of Skin's Island.  In that sense, I vote for Nadin.  Her work made it both to here and DUFU, so her internet presence became known and cherished.  And I really did enjoy the Nadisms. 

Newbie; this was between Snoutport and White Wolf.  I'm going with Snoutport because he entertained me (as long I just skimmed).  White Wolf caused me to want to bring back HUAC, go on McCarthy witchhunts, and he just generally pissed me off.  Commies, I hate 'em. 

Broken Elbow Tough choice between Cyrano and Omaha.  50/50.  I toss it to Omaha Steve Dawes.  Did you know he's always supported socialism?

Golden Bong  Just because it was a masterpiece, Dreamer Tatum. 

Top Dummies:

TAVERNER!!!
Sarah Ibarurri
Dainbramaged
Kentuck
Grasswire
Chan790
Horse with No Brain
NNNOLHI, Old grouchy Don
Stinky the Clown
Eferrari, lol

NameRemoved for the Willie, I think. Other votes will be forthcoming.

I suppose it's a good time for me to cast another vote, this one for the newbie.

I've been torn between the anti-gun nut the iverglas primitive, who's actually a long-time disruptor on Skin's island, but never received the notoriety she deserves, and the snoutport primitive, who came-and-went during the past year.

Since I'm reasonably confident--I hope to God that confidence isn't misplaced, as I have plenty to write about her--the iverglas primitive is going to end up in the top ten, and since the snoutport primitive isn't a candidate in that category, for the newbie, I'm voting for the snoutport primitive.

Willie: Nads the DUmmie every man (or every wimmin)

newbie: MiddleFingerMom

Broken Elbow: The Straight Story

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

Top 10 DUmmies
DainBramaged
Horse With no Name
nadinbrzezinski
NNN0LHI
Omaha Steve
Taverner
Sarah Ibarruri
Cyrano
EFerrari
Mineral Man

Cindie

[franksolich]

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

But you'd nominated him for the broken elbow award, madam, where he's at on the ballot, not for the golden bong.
