(Read about the inaugural Aristotle Awards below the fold)
The fact is that the Right controls the media in this country, all the while pretending they don't. George ("
Don't Think of an Elephant") Lakoff and others rightly point this out, and note that if we want to have political success going forward we need to develop alternate media, like dKos for example.
Anyway, my little contribution to his is the Aristotle Awards. The idea is to recognize the person who did the most to advance the cause of liberalism in America.
If you think it's interesting, or are just curious, please check it out at http://aristotleawards.blogspot.com/ and cast a vote.
If we get a decent number of posts, I'll forward the results to the media, so if you have any suggestions please let me know.
Thanks for reading.
