Laughing Planet and Patriot Daily News Clearinghouse (PDNC) have created a one-of-a-kind, certainly-to-be-repeated awards extravaganza for Daily Kos denizens. It is called The Daily kOscars, but I have no idea why that name was chosen.
Regardless, it's highly important that you vote, for Armando and all of the other Daily Kos participants up for trial! I mean, election!
Or, whatever we're calling this.
Prizes may be awarded, perhaps!
VOTE FOR ARMANDO!!!
Armando is nominated in seventeen categories - Mystery Series, Diary of the Decade, etc., etc. - and I truly desire for you to vote for him. His effort at this site in 2009 was been nothing; short of exemplary, he's become a true inspiration for the legions of contrarian, anti-contrarian and contrary contrarian aliases at DKos, which has led to the remarkable state of unity in which we find ourselves as the all-important mid-term elections fall at our feet later this year.
But, don't take my word for it, just read your own samples of his recent wisdom which fails, never to note, that we are all - everyone of us at Daily Kos - responsible for someone's actions, except maybe irrespective of our own certainty. These are lessons for us all, things to ponder when all seems cathartic and unfocused. You can know what you know with complete assurance, regardless of the naysayers who abound and spear your missives. Your presence may bring us all together for common purpose, as Armando has done. Just believe in something and never let it go. Ever. Neverever.
PLEASE NOTE: POLLS HAVE CLOSED - THANK YOU FOR YOUR PARTICIPATION AND INTEREST
The deadline for voting was originally TONIGHT, March 05 at midnight ET - i.e., March 05, 2010 12:00AM Eastern Time (March 04, 2010 09:00PM Pacific Time) and the polling site has, indeed, closed.
Winners to be announced the same day as some competition that they show on TV each year, usually to great fanfare and with overplayed flash - some non-DKos "Oscar" event. For whatever that's worth.

Comment of the Year
A remote poll hosting site is being used for this voting effort, but it's supposedly legit (just ask Armando).
Polls are CLOSED! . . . please do what Armando has shown through his great example, by leaving this site and watching for the results.
