Vote for ME!

by Goldy — Sunday, 7/10/05, 11:58 pm

I spend an awful lot of time entertaining and informing my loyal readers, and I don’t ask much in return: a little beer money, the occasional fawning e-mail… and of course, your blind obedience in voting the following categories in the Seattle Weekly’s “Best of Seattle” poll:

3. Best local talk radio host: David Goldstein
8. Best local website: Pacific Northwest Portal
9. Best local blog: HorsesAss.org
11. Best activist/hell raiser: David Goldstein
14. Best scandal: Dino Rossi’s meritless election contest
15. Best local cause: ending homelessness
16. Best reform we need: a state income tax
42. Best fish market: Tim Eyman

The deadline is today, at 5 PM, so if you haven’t already done so… cast your ballot now.

Yeah, I know I’ve already asked you once before, and this shameless act of self-promotion is incredibly childish and petty… but then, I never claimed not to be childish and petty. The folks at (un)Sound Politics asked their readers to vote a slate, and frankly I just don’t want to give them the satisfaction of winning. Do you?

Of course you’re always free to vote your conscience, but could you really live with yourself if that lying sack of shit (u)SP won best blog?

    Asking Cynical or prr to vote their conscience is liking asking water to flow uphill. They have no conscience. No thought process either.

    My vote for
    Most Fiscally Responsible Citizen: Richard Pope
    Best Money Sleuth: Richard Pope
    Person to most likely Embarrass King County (Besides Logan, Huennekens, Phillips & Sims): Richard Pope

    Read the article in today’s Seattle TImes about King County’s Unclaimed Property. He found almost 400 Unclaimed Property Items. Way to go Richard!

    Hell, I found 7 for my little County.

    Rabbit,

    As to Cynical votoing under assumed names, just think of it this way. As, SW offices are in king county, If he kept coming back under assumed names and using provisional ballots, he would have a margin of at least 1,600 votes before it would be considered illegal.

    I alreadly voted, and although I forget what was on my ballot – I know I did NOT vote for you and I did vote for KVI.

    I also voted for Reagan Dunn as “Best Local Politician”. You can guess why… or click HERE.

    After clicking there, you can guess why I called the biggest scandal something w/ the initials K.C.E.

    Well… duh-uh!

    Online polls are entirely bogus, as they are so easy to be freeped. But hell if I’m going to let the other side freep it unchallenged, and then claim some kind of a victory.

    This is a game, and little more.

    Someday Goldy’s gonna be famous
    Does he have talent…well, noooo.
    These days you don’t really need it.
    Thanks to reality shows.

    Cuz when Goldy’s a celebrity
    It’s adios reality.
    Goldy acts just like a fool
    And PINHEADS think he’s cool
    Just cuz he’s on a blog.

    Goldy can throw a major fit
    When his latte isn’t just how he likes it.
    When people say Goldy’s insane
    Goldy blames it on the fame
    And pressures that go with.
    Bein’ a celebrity!

    I voted only once, and I got each of my 7,185 children (i.e., the cute fluffy little baby bunnies running loose in Green Lake Park) to vote once — so that’s 7,186 votes for Goldy.

    I’m retired…just like you. Although I don’t have a fat guv’mint pension like you do. I have to manage my properties I’ve bought over the years. Just had my first tenant bounced check today. I also have to invest our cash & retirement funds so I can pay taxes so assholes like you can have a free-ride.

    And I’m also tired…of assholes just like you.

    But I enjoy the verbal jousting RR!

    if it’s totally bogus should we all just ignore the “best hell raiser-activist” thing at the top of your blog? what else is bogus? are any of your opinions really real either….or just theater?
